Sixth Grave on the Edge

Charley Davidson, Book 6

De: Darynda Jones

Narrado por: Lorelei King

Sometimes I wrestle my demons. Sometimes we just snuggle.—Bumper Sticker
Most girls might think twice before getting engaged to someone like Reyes Farrow—but Charley Davidson is not most girls. She's a paranormal private eye and grim reaper-in-training who's known to be a bit of a hell-raiser, especially after a few shots of caffeine. Her beloved Reyes may be the only begotten son of evil, but he's dark and sultry and deeply sexy and everything Charley could hope for. Really. But when the FBI file on Reyes' childhood happens to land into her lap, she can't help herself: She opens it...and then the real fun begins. First, Charley finds a naked corpse riding shotgun in her car. Then, a man loses his soul in a card game. Throw in a Deaf boy who sees dead people, a woman running from mobsters, and a very suspicious Reyes, and things can't get any worse for Charley. Unless, of course, the Twelve Beasts of Hell are unleashed…

Sixth Grave on the Edge is the sixth Charley Davidson novel from bestselling author Darynda Jones

This book could change EVERYTHING!

I held off on the fifth book for the sole purpose of evading the cliffhanger, yet here I am experiencing exactly what I wanted to avoid—a horrible hangover that’s going to last five months. Ok, so I know it’s bad form to start a review off by talking about the ending, but holy geez how can I not? I mean… the series just completely changed directions because of one revelation! I always feel like Darynda Jones leaves readers with more questions than answers, and that’s the case yet again with SIXTH GRAVE ON THE EDGE. As usual, this installment is packed with so many plot threads that trying to figure out how Lorelei King managed to cover them all in under 10 hours just might make your head explode.

It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned the entertaining quotes this author uses at the beginning of each chapter, so it’s definitely worth repeating. Jones also takes it a step further in this installment with the addition of hashtags which I LOVED! Then there were the countless references to Charley’s coffee addiction that always make me feel like we’re sisters-from-another-mother. All of the spork jokes cracked me up too! The author also delves deeper into the powers of the reaper, and if you thought Davidson was badass before, just wait until you learn what other tricks she has up her sleeve. And then, there’s the mystery surrounding the prophesies, the daughter of light, and the twelve. Yes, we get some answers, but mostly it’s just more questions.

Charley’s got her hands full once again in this installment with a naked dead man riding shotgun in Misery, her on-going child abduction case, Reyes’ looming question, and then there’s The Dealer. Ooh, and of course let’s not forget that Angel’s true past comes to light, there’s news on the Mr. Wong front, and in the midst of all this chaos Charley is also playing matchmaker to Cookie and Ubie. Needless to say, life as the Grim Reaper is never dull! But, leave it to Reyes Farrow to totally eclipse the entire action packed story line with his hot self. I love how far his and Davidson’s relationship has come through the course of this series, and I think the ending of this book will be a step in the right direction for them, even though the world might not agree.

When it comes to audiobooks I consider myself somewhat of a slow listener, but I had no problems finishing SIXTH GRAVE ON THE EDGE in a day thanks to Lorelei King’s exquisite narration. Her pitch is perfectly suited for Jones’ writing style, and her voice couldn’t be any more CHARLEY DAVIDSON if she tried. You can tell that she’s having a blast while in the studio recording these, and that really comes through in her performances. It doesn’t matter whether it’s an action or sex scene; King always gives it her all which is why pre-ordering this audiobook was a no-brainer.

SIXTH GRAVE ON THE EDGE ends with a big surprise that will leave you reeling in the possibilities. I’m telling you, this could change EVERYTHING! #holyshit

I just love

enjoy this series, always looking forward to the next book! I want to be friends with Charlie

6th Grave on the Edge

Wow, excellent 6th book of the series. Just when you think it's over , someone reaches over the edge and saves the day. The twist at the end I kind of expected it, but adds potential danger to this story line. I love this series.
I would recommend this series

Excellent narration aa unusual

Start at #1 and not 6 like I did.

Where does Sixth Grave on the Edge rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I like this whole series

What was one of the most memorable moments of Sixth Grave on the Edge?

The whole book was a fun book, of course the woman bites off more than she chew, but she refuses help even though she needs it. But it always comes out, quite funny actually.

What does Lorelei King bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love her voice and her tone. She makes it a great listen.

Any additional comments?

LOVE THIS SERIES>

Charley, You make me laugh out loud!

I just love this series. My only complaint is I wish they were longer. I started listening to this series because I loved the narrator, Lorelei King. I'm a Lorelei King narrator stalker. She does a great job with the character's voices, her inflection, and acting out of the story. Darynda Jones must have a great personality and sense of humor because Charley cracks me up. I know people think I'm crazy. I'll be driving down the street listening to my book and just start laughing hysterically. This whole series always has me wishing for more. I hate when the book ends and hate waiting for the next book to be released. If each one of us had a "Charley" in our lives there would be no bad days and we would all be in stitches.

Completely engaging!!

I just loved it. Another awesome read from Darynda Jones. What an absolutely brilliant series

LOVE LOVE LOVE CHARLEY DAVIDSON !!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, if you don't have time to read the book personally. The narrator is flat and monotone throughout most of the book. It annoyed the heck out of me but I stuck with it because I love this series and didn't have time to read it, but it did take the excitement out of the story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Charley, of course. I love her sense of humor in the face of evil.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Lorelei King?

I can think of a hundred people! Lorelei King's voice is nasal and monotone.

Any additional comments?

I love the Charley Davidson series (I even got my book club hooked on them). I have read #1 through 6 and I am anxiously anticipating the release of #7 - but I will be buying the Kindle version and not on Audible. Can't stand that voice.

A Must for the ears!

Yay!! Best book of the series yet! I don't want to say too much and ruin the story. But this is a must listen.

Best book so far!

This is probably my favorite book so far because I'm learning so much about everyone. I love these books and I hope they turn into movies!

DARYNDA JONES:

ON BEHALF OF ALL CHARLIE DAVIDSON'S and YOUR FANS;
"WE WANT MORE WE WANT MORE!"
LOL JKJK BUT I SO HOPE you wrote more about Charlie's heritage and spiritual family as well as reuniting patents with their daughter OH PRETTY PRETTY PLLLEEEAAASEEE?!? Have them buy property on am island or something or buy the entire island lol! and HAVE CHARLIE GO SHOPPING WITH HER DAUGHTER, AMBER AND COOKIE! THEY HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY- LET HER SPEND SOME! HOOK HER BFF UP and spoil all her friends! Not on a holiday but just cuz! Because they're filthy rich and that would be an awesome thing to do. I mean there's never enough of the happy parts or happy times in books. Someone should change that. What a challenge that Would be. You're an incredible writer. You could help to change the world someday with that gift.
