Summoned to Thirteenth Grave

November 15, 2018
Whether she's dealing with other gods or acting as the Grim Reaper, Charley Davidson's adventures are never dull.Charley's been in exile for what seems like a century but is in truth only 10 days when her husband, the god Rey'azikeen, "the Hellmaker," otherwise known as Reyes Alexander Farrow, appears to her in the Sahara Desert, where they have sex so hot the sand beneath them melts into glass. She'd been exiled for creating a new dimension of hell that's causing death and panic in their hometown of Albuquerque, where her Uncle Bob is a cop married to her best friend. Charley's daughter, Beep, and her caretakers have been evacuated to a safe house, but Charley, Reyes, and many of their friends are holed up in a warehouse trying to come up with a plan to close that hell dimension, which is expanding rapidly and making more and more people sick. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is desperately searching for a remedy, but since the problem is supernatural, only Charley and her fellow gods can solve it. Charley knows that something about her mother's death shortly after giving birth to her is a clue to their salvation, but so far she's been unable to get any useful information from her sister or Uncle Bob, who were both there at the time. As all her friends struggle to come up with some way to close the hell dimension, one of them brings her to the Vatican, where she discovers a box filled with mysterious powder that may hold the answer.Melding inventive supernatural activities with scorching sex scenes, this final entry in Jones' series answers many questions but is a tad complicated. Readers who want to make sense of it all are well-advised to start all the way back with First Grave on the Right (2011).

In bestseller Jones’s ebullient 13th and final paranormal mystery featuring PI grim reaper Charlotte “Charley” Davidson (after 2017’s The Trouble with Twelfth Grave), Charley returns to Earth following her banishment by God to find that 100 years have passed for her, though only 10 days have passed on Earth, and the alternate dimension that she and her husband, Reyes Farrow (aka Son of Satan), accidentally opened has covered Albuquerque, N.Mex., and is quickly spreading. Under it are countless demons that humans can’t see, but who are making them sick. While trying to close the dimension, Charlie must also deal with the spirits of those who have died, and put her detective skills to work locating kidnapping victims. Fortunately, none of this interferes with her sexy alone time with Reyes. Series fans will miss Jones’s snarky humor as they say goodbye to Charley, Reyes, and the host of memorable supporting characters they’ve come to love over the years. Agent: Alexandra Machinist, ICM.

In the thirteenth and final book in the series (after The Trouble with Twelfth Grave, 2017), Jones gives fans a classic Charley Davidson novel?a story that is funny, smart, sassy, and set at a break-neck pace. When Charley returns to her home plane after her seemingly eternal exile, she's shocked to discover her time away was a lot shorter. Her joyful homecoming is short-lived. Demons are attacking, thanks to a dimensional tear that might be Charley's fault. As she and her crew race to close the gap and push back the demon horde, she must come to terms with secrets about her friends and family. The story is a satisfying conclusion to the series and an entertaining read on its own.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
