With twelve hellhounds
after her, pregnant Charley Davidson takes refuge at the only place she
thinks they can’t get to her: the grounds of an abandoned convent. But
after months of being cooped up there, Charley is ready to pop. Both
metaphorically and literally since she is now roughly the size of a
beached whale. Fortunately, a new case has captured her attention, one
that involves a murder on the very grounds the team has taken shelter
upon. A decades-old murder of the newly-vowed nun she keeps seeing in
the shadows is almost enough to pull her out of her doldrums.
Charley’s
been forbidden to step foot off the sacred grounds. While the angry
hellhounds can’t traverse the consecrated soil, they can lurk just
beyond its borders. They have the entire team on edge, especially Reyes.
And if Charley didn’t know better, she would swear Reyes is getting
sick. He grows hotter with every moment that passes, his heat scorching
across her skin every time he’s near, but naturally he swears he’s fine.
While
the team searches for clues on the Twelve, Charley just wants answers
and is powerless to get them. But the mass of friends they’ve accrued
helps. They convince her even more that everyone in her recent life has
somehow been drawn to her, as though they were a part of a bigger
picture all along. But the good feelings don’t last for long because
Charley is about to get the surprise of her crazy, mixed-up,
supernatural life….

Twelve. Twelve of the
deadliest beasts ever forged in the fires of hell have escaped onto our
plane, and they want nothing more than to rip out the jugular of Charley
Davidson and serve her lifeless, mangled body to Satan for dinner. So
there’s that. But Charley has more on her plate than a mob of testy
hellhounds. For one thing, her father has disappeared, and the more she
retraces his last steps, the more she learns he was conducting an
investigation of his own, one that has Charley questioning everything
she’s ever known about him. Add to that an ex-BFF who is haunting her
night and day, a rash of suicides that has authorities baffled, and a
drop-dead sexy fiancé who has attracted the attentions of a local
celebrity, and Charley is not having the best week of her life.
A
tad north of hell, a hop, skip, and a jump past the realm of eternity,
is a little place called Earth, and Charley Davidson, grim reaper
extraordinaire, is determined to do everything in her power to protect
it.
We’re doomed.

Few things in life can
come between a grim reaper and her coffee, but the sexy, sultry son of
Satan is one of them. Now that Reyes Farrow has asked for her hand,
Charley Davidson feels it's time to learn more about his past, but Reyes
is reluctant to open up. When the official FBI file of his childhood
abduction lands in her lap, Charley decides to go behind her mysterious
beau’s back and conduct her own investigation. Because what could go
wrong?
Unfortunately, another case has fallen into her lap—one
with dangerous implications. Some very insistent men want Charley to
hunt down a witness who is scheduled to testify against their boss, a
major player in the local crime syndicate. If Charley doesn't come up
with an address in 48 hours, the people closest to her will start to
disappear.
Add to that a desperate man in search of the soul he
lost in a card game, a dogged mother determined to find the ghost of her
son, and a beautiful, young Deaf boy haunted by his new ability to see
the departed as clearly as he sees the living, and Charley has her hands
full. The fact that Reyes has caught on to her latest venture only adds
fuel to the inferno that he is. Good thing for Charley she's used to
multi-tasking and always up for a challenge…especially when that
challenge comes in the form of Reyes Farrow.

Charley
Davidson isn't your everyday, run-of-the-mill grim reaper. She's more
of a paranormal private eye/grim reaper extraordinaire. However, she
gets sidetracked when the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, moves
in next door. To further complicate matters, Reyes is her main suspect
in an arson case. Charley has vowed to stay away from him until she can
find out the truth...but then dead women start appearing in her
apartment, one after another, each lost, confused, and terrified beyond
reason. When it becomes apparent that her own sister, Gemma is the
serial killer's next target, Charley has no choice but to ask for
Reyes's help. Arsonist or not, he's the one man alive who could protect
Gemma no matter who or what came at her. But he wants something in
return. Charley. All of her, body and soul. And to keep her sister safe,
it is a price she is willing to pay.
Charley Davidson is at it again in the sexy, suspenseful, and laugh-out-loud funny fifth installment of the New York Times best selling series.
