Summoned to the Thirteenth Grave
Summoned to the Thirteenth Grave | Darynda Jones
50 posts | 35 read | 18 to read
It's lucky number thirteen . . . this is the epic finale for our favourite Grim Reaper and her sinfully sexy son-of-the-devil husband, Reyes. Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper extraordinaire, is pissed. She's been kicked off the earthly plane for eternity - which is exactly the amount of time it takes to make a person stark, raving mad. But someone's looking out for her, and she's allowed to return after a mere hundred years in exile. Is it too much to hope for that not much has changed? Apparently it is. Bummer. She's missed her daughter. She's missed Reyes. She's missed Cookie and Garrett and Uncle Bob. But now that she's back on earth, it's time to put to rest burning questions that need answers. What happened to her mother? How did she really die? Who killed her? And are cupcakes or coffee the best medicine for a broken heart? It all comes to a head in an epic showdown between good and evil in this final smart and hilarious novel. It's Charley's last adventure, and the one thing we know for sure is that it's going to be one wild ride . . . 'An absolute must read' J.R. Ward, No.1 New York Times bestselling author of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. 'The grim reaper gets a shiny cook makeover in Jones's blazing hot debut... will appeal to fans of MaryJanice Davidson and Janet Evanovich.' Publisher's Weekly 'What's better than a bad-ass girl grim reaper who keeps us safe from hell hounds and demons? (The answer is obviously nothing.)' RT Book Reviews

Now that's how you end a series!! The ending was perfect for the characters, tied up things and even maybe left room for a spin off in the future of other characters. In true Charley fashion there were lots of laughs along with plenty of emotion. It's been a long time since I've finished a series this quickly. Also have to say that the audiobook versions were well done as well...just with headphones or alone 🤣

5/5 for the last in this series. What an ending to such a great series! I just can‘t believe it is over. This was a good ending. I feel like things got wrapped up nicely. There were some tears along with laughter. I highly recommend this whole series!

Nice wrap up to a series I finished in 2019. May have to reread it because I read it too fast. 😆

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This story was epic, surprising, swoony, heartbreaking, and brilliantly fantastic! I will admit that there were reveals that took place that seemed to have come from out of nowhere. I am serious, there were no hints at all throughout this series and I was like “whhhaaat!” Hmmm, not very cool. When the ending of this story came it was stunning, shocking, and absolutely perfect. I adored the climatic ending that came as such a surprise.

Status: I own this one on audiobook, I really enjoyed this whole series about a goofy sassy Grim Reaper. Hopefully we‘ll see a spin-off series someday.

The final installment of the series, I'm so sad to see this series go! All the loose ends and questions that were left unanswered, are tied up and answered in this book. I have all the feels in this book!! I couldn't put this book down! If only there was a spin off series from this one, it would be perfect!!

I love (loved) this series and I‘m so sad that this was the last one. I‘m happy with how she wrapped things up, though. And I heard there will be a spinoff in the future, which I look forward to reading. I highly recommend this series. It‘s easily in my top 5.

I met the #booked2019 goal without even trying. It wasn't until I read the lists that I realized I was on track.
🦊 - The Charley Davidson series that I restarted
🦊🦊 - The Sleeper and the Spindle
🦊🦊🦊 - Bridge To Terabithia (love hikes in the woods)
🦊🦊🦊🦊 - The Innocent Man - it's a stretch, but it's been mentioned by podcasts recently.
🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊 - Kealan Patrick Burke (and new to me)
🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊 - Rin Chupeco (had quite a few)

What a 5 star ending to a series.......or is it? Will the next series follow the petulant Osh as he's left to keep watch? I hope!

NoConcernsForCarol I‘m glad to hear this series goes this far and still stays strong I just finished the first book in the series yesterday and bought the second book upon finishing the first. 6y
WhatThePuck @NoConcernsForCarol I love this series. The 12th book was a little more tedious for me than the others, but it was definitely a strong finish. The Abby Cooper series is pretty fun too if you like this one. Abby is definitely not as snarky as Charley, but they are still fun cozies. 6y

Yeah, I had to finish... 🤷🏼‍♀️
I'm sorry this series is over but I think this book was a fitting end to a series that I've enjoyed. The ending brought smiles & a few tears as it's hard to let go after 13 books with Charley Davidson & Reyes & company, but I'm looking forward to seeing what Darynda Jones does with some of these characters next as it is set up well for spin-offs. Lorelei King did her usual excellent.narration.

The dilemma--finish up the last hour or squeeze it out #audiosouping with it one more week? I think I have to keep listening to find out what happens because I've already teared up a few times & the end is getting good. This week's soup is a retro (1958) Gourmet Magazine recipe for Cold Cream of Watercress Soup, only I am making it vegan & probably eating it hot--it's still cool here. Finished soup post coming later. 🍲💚

Still listening to this one, savoring it by #audiosouping with it each week to draw out this series finale. In the pot is Mark Bittman's Tomato and Garlic Soup that I am adapting & using as the base to my Pizza Margherita Soup. Finished soup pictures will be up later. 🍕🍲❤️

This whole series is a big recommend. I finished it off, relaxing in the tub with my Charley-esk plastic wine glass.

What a finale. There was one part that just blew me away that I had to go back and reread a chapter cause it totally went over my head. While I don‘t think this is the last of these characters, I still felt very emotional reading the last chapter.

Thank you Darynda, for such a funny, awesome, sexy and heartwarming time.

A little #audiosouping to this last book in the series. I'm listening a bit at time to make it last although I'm tempted to binge-listen. 😉 Today's soup is a red lentil dal that will have tofu & a spice oil stirred in. The good news is that I can smell it because my Petri dish of an office has given me another cold.🤧Also high winds today so I'm trying to finish my soup & blog post early in case my power goes out. Finished soup pic coming soon.🍲

I had to buy this series finale with one of my audible credits when it came out & it jumped the line of my audio books so I can find out what happens with Charley Davidson & her friends. Loving it so far although I want to listen a bit slowly as I love this series & have mixed feelings about it ending. 😥 It makes for excellent #audiosouping today. This is the base for a Shrimp & Coconut Milk Soup. Pictures of the finished soup will be up later.

What a well done end to one of my favorite series! I‘m not too bummed as it is very much set-up for a spin off. For fellow fans of the series, you won‘t be disappointed. For folks who have not read any, go back to the beginning and join the adventure of a very quirky grim reaper, her devilish live interest and a whole cast of crazy characters. #romantsy #paranormal #comedy

I‘m not ready to say goodbye to Charley (and maybe, just maybe we‘ll see her and beep again someday)... but boy did Darynda Jones have me going at times... so little I can say without giving away any spoilers... so bittersweet to say goodbye.

It's over. It's really over. What a freaking ride though! This last installment takes us to a whole new level of end-of-the-world badass-ness with all the sexy, smartass supernaturals we know so well. Gonna miss Charley and her crew.
I'm a little underwhelmed with the way it ended, but it is actually the perfect ending to this series. Really, I don't think it would have worked any other way.
Also....I smell a spin-off 🤔

I'm at work and supposed to be getting my year-end files done and moved over or archived...but it's Friday and I don't want to so....#friyayintro time!!

1. The latest (and final *sniff sniff) Charley Davidson book. I still have 2 to read but I'm going to do a full reread before the last one comes out
2. Probably Insidious. Or the new Fantastic Beasts.
3. Wine!
4. BF doesn't read and it works for us
5. Ok!
