Thankfully, Jones has graced us with lovely coffee-flavored treats to keep us going strong! I love these injections via novellas. A fun and sexy treat from one of the queens of paranormal romance. ~Tanja

This is honestly one of my favorites of her books. And I thought nothing could top Tangled, but this one is right up there. Funny, sexy, hot for teacher goodness. Also, a surprise pregnancy... ALL THE THINGS! Perfect for the beach this summer or any day of the week.
The first words I wrote on my Goodreads page after finishing was “I am a speechless, sobbing mess. WoI am absolutely stunned by this ending. STUNNED.
The first words I wrote on my Goodreads page after finishing was “I am a speechless, sobbing mess. Words will come, but it's gonna take some time.” and believe me, it has.
Okay, getting myself together. Firstly, let me just say that the Charley Davidson series has been one hell of a ride. From the moment Charley entered my bookish life, till the very end. She has been and will remain one of my all-time favorite heroines. Her snark, troubled escapades, her hidden emotions, and seriously criminal coffee addiction will be sorely missed.
As for Summoned to Thirteenth, well… my emotions were all over the place in this final book. From relief, to grief, and a melancholy yet somber feeling when I reached the last page. I will miss them all. Cookie, Uncle Bob, Mr. Wong, Artemis, Osh… and so many more.
“I savored the scene as long as I could, memorizing each face. Each smile. Each laugh. This was a room filled with greatness. With gifts and talents that were unmatched the world over. A god, a warrior, a spiritualist, a healer, a scholar, a magician, a caregiver, a ruler, and a handful of guardians. This was my world. These were my people.”
The shining star in all this is the knowledge that more seems to be coming with Beep. The foreshadowing is all over Summoned to Thirteenth. I am truly sad that it's over yet… is there more?
“I want what you and Reyes have.” “The strong possibility of an STD?” “No, a love that spans the life of a million stars.”

OMG!!! What are you trying to do to us Darynda Jones!?!?!!?!? *ARC READ
Well folks, she’s done it again. Just when you think you have it all figured outOMG!!! What are you trying to do to us Darynda Jones!?!?!!?!? *ARC READ
Well folks, she’s done it again. Just when you think you have it all figured out, Darynda Jones pulls not only the rug out from under you, but the entire house as well.
Picking up where we last left off, our Charley is her funny, snarky, well-intentioned self. She’s working a case while trying to figure out the drama that is now her life. Her husband (and the son of Satan) isn’t himself these days. And in the Davidson style, she is doing her best to root out the man she loves while trying to keep all her pots boiling. It’s a funny, scary, sexy ride for sure.
Alas, no spoilers here, but I will give you some highlights of what’s to come.
A blast from the past. Someone thought lost is found. The man himself. Coffee, coffee, coffee. Shopping carts and stripper poles. The gang’s all here. One of the best books in the series.
That’s it. The wait is almost over and I can’t wait for everyone to dig in. The Trouble with Twelfth Grave hits the shelves October 31st and candy won’t be the only thing you’ll be devouring by the end of the night!

I won't post spoilers till after this has been out for awhile, but will say, I feel as if some of the events that happened in The Chosen needed MORE in order for forgivness to be given. My original unease has intensified the more I think on it :(
...........….......
Original thoughts after reading:
Wow, talk about an emotional roller coaster! Laughter and tons of tears. Also I am left feeling unease. Not sure I'm gonna like some upcoming issues. Now to wait another year :(...more
This is one of the most anticipated stories to come out of the Casey Scott universe! For me personally, I have been awaiting this follow up tale sinceThis is one of the most anticipated stories to come out of the Casey Scott universe! For me personally, I have been awaiting this follow up tale since the conception of baby Jay. A mother who will do anything to protect her baby is a fierce and powerful read. Kaitlin’s Tale is no exception.
Realization has hit Kaitlin that her human life and the life of her child are very much in jeopardy. Xavier is beginning to grow impatient, and Jason? Well, anything that was once left of his humanity seems to be all but gone at this point. Feeling the end of her time as human coming, she must push herself beyond extremes to get her son to safety. With the help of some unlikely allies in the hunter community Kaitlin must humble herself to obtain her ultimate goals.
Kaitlin’s Tail is very much a story of self-discovery and personal growth. Learning to navigate a hostile environment, keep secrets hidden, decide who is helping and who just wants you dead has Kaitlin in a constant struggle for truth.
Unlikely heroes and a heart-stopping race for safety will keep you on the edge of your seat. One of the best reads to come from Amsden to date. Smart, edgy and full of adrenaline!

She has gushed and gently prodded me, and once I had time in my reading schedule, so I finally had the absolute pleasure of meeting Dr. Braeden Frost and his brother Xavier. I read both volumes back-to-back, so writing this review/letter will be an amalgam of both.
Psychic detective Denieve Knight goes into the home of Dr. Frost in hopes of solving a murder. She has been visited by a ghost from her past and needs to find out what exactly has taken place. The infamous Dr. Frost is at the root of it and Denieve must hide who and what she truly is in order to discover the truth. Only is Dr. Frost doing the same for different reasons?
Living in a world as a psychic has proven one thing: you need to keep an open mind in all matters unexplainable and look at every angle.
Here comes the nitty-gritty, guys. What I need to tell you is this... GO IN BLIND. Just know these few things.
1- The build up is incredible 2- This is one hell of a sexy read 3- There are two deliciously mysterious brothers 4- The journey is amazing 5- Holmes’s writing and story telling is right up there with the best in PNR today
That’s it. You are getting a vague, yet raving review.
Don’t search for spoilers. Don’t overanalyze and don’t spoil it for the reader who hasn’t had the pleasure of diving into The Darkest Frost. I have a phrase I use sparingly and I am using it now…THIS IS WHY I READ.

Tons of mystery and one heavy case load, Charley Davidson is peak perfection in book eleven! From the beginning until the very end I was caught up in hTons of mystery and one heavy case load, Charley Davidson is peak perfection in book eleven! From the beginning until the very end I was caught up in her world; but let’s start from the top, shall we?
Something is up with Uncle Ubie, Angel gets a little touchy feely, and Reyes? Well… he gets some steamy prime time not ready for television moments. I really did love this installment. It feels like a throwback to the earlier books. It’s more focused and albeit still funny, just not as silly as she’s been in some of the latter books– meaning that our Charlie is still fun, but not as childish as she once was.
Reyes and Charley have some much needed time together in Eleventh Grave. A more focused “team” mentality is driven by the fact that Beep’s protection and security needs to come above all else. It’s time to get down to business and figure out what Charley is truly capable of.
“Few things in life are as surprising as having your husband, the man you gave your heart and soul to, throw you off a 350 foot building. I should know.”
LOL! Get ready folks, this is going to be one hell of a ride with a cliffhanger to die for!
I hate it when mommy and daddy fight. It’s been a few weeks since Charley and the gang have returned home and something just doesn’t feel right betweeI hate it when mommy and daddy fight. It’s been a few weeks since Charley and the gang have returned home and something just doesn’t feel right between Charley and Reyes. I gotta say… Yes, Charley is still a child trapped in a woman’s body so to speak, but there is a fragility to her that is beginning to show itself. The events with Beep in the last two books have really began to take a toll. Laughter is the main emotion I have when reading a Charley Davidson book, however I felt a melancholy sadness and shed some tears this time around.
Don’t get me wrong – the uproariously funny antics are still in full affect. Nothing like a well-placed zinger here and there to lighten the mood, and I would be remised it I didn’t say that when mommy and daddy FINALLY get their shiz together it’s explosive. Who knew Reyes was into a little kink?!
The ending? OMG!! The last 25% is mesmerizing. So much action and so many revelations that my head was spinning. Had to pause and re-read a few things just to be able to soak it all in.
Bottom line: Reyes fans will rejoice, Charley fans will see some character development, and the supporting cast of characters all get some prime time to shine. I can’t wait for more!
