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 12 Beasts of Hell are unleashed...

My thoughts:
Okay this is the 6th book and I've listened to all of them on audio. I love this series and hope to continue all of them in the same manner. Oh who am I kidding? I will do them all on audio as long as Lorelei King does the narration. :)

In this book we are presented with several different small mysteries. Some of them are finished by the time the story ends and some of them are just sort of left hanging. Some are part of the secondary story arcs now presenting its way into the series. Sometimes you wonder if the author is biting off more than the story can reasonably hold, but at the same time I enjoy myself in one of these stories I don't really care. Plus I love the humor and all the characters. I'm curious as to where the new bad/good guy fits into all of this.

Since I'm a bit late to the party (couldn't get to the book until now) the one thing I kept hearing about was "OMG! The ending!" I admit I was nearing the ending and wondering what everyone was talking about. Seemed like a normal ending to me. Nothing unusual here. Until...

OMG! The Ending! O.o

Okay, someone get me that next book (on audio... Ms. King... get on that will ya?). I gotta know more!

I give this story 4 stars. It is a bit looser than the other books in the series but loses none of the humor or entertainment value. Plus, as I've said repeatedly in my other reviews of this series you need to try it on audio. You won't regret it. Oh and the only spoiler I'll give you: spork. Seriously I would be a spork why would anyone ask why? The answer is so obvious! ;)
