Third Grave Dead Ahead (Charley Davidson #3) Review

Third Grave Dead Ahead by Darynda Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was absolutely amazing. The cases that Charley worked on kept me captivated all the time. At times I thought that I knew who the villains were and I was correct most of the time. I knew the doctor was scum from the start. Again, Charley was hilarious. I love how easily distracted she is but in this book she was even more so because she wasn't sleeping. Her ADD tendencies and the way she jumps from topic to topic was funny. She really should learn how to fight and I think some weapons would be wonderful with all that she deals with. Although she goes into situations without a lot of thought, she doesn't act superior as if she's got it all together. She knows she gets into crazy situations and she accepts it. I'm hoping that she can help Reyes' sister because I think she's on the verge of having a nervous break down. I really thought that the officer that Charley went to school with was pissed off because she had turned him down for a date or something. He really needs to handle his issues, go to therapy and stop being an ass.

Reyes, oh Reyes. He is horney like every moment that he appears in this book. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy him as a character but something just didn't sit well with me in this book. He was picking the worst moments (which was pretty much every moment in the book) to get frisky. In addition, him using Charley as bait and not being there when she really needed him was horrible. She had done what she did to save his life in the previous book because she loves him in a way. Why can't he understand how much she cared? I have so many conflicted feelings about Reyes now but I guess I should give him a little slack since he's Satan's son. LOL

I could not believe her fathers actions in the end. For him to try to choose for Charley what she's doing in her life was so wrong. She's an adult and she'd been doing her job for years. He in fact started what she was doing. The other more major things won't go away so he should leave her be.
