"Second Grave On The Left"

"Second Grave On The Left" is Darynda Jones' second book in her Charley Davidson paranormal romance series and makes for fun summer time (or any time) reading.

Charley's friend (and employee), Cookie, has a friend who has gone missing and asks Charley to use her private detective and paranormal skills to locate her.  The friend's husband and family are worried because they have no clue where she is.  She disappeared when she learned a high school classmate had died recently.

As they investigate, they learn that a number of her high school classmates have recently died -- mostly in what appear to be accidents but Charley doesn't buy the accident theory.  Her investigation leads her to the past and what happened when all these people were classmates together.

In the meantime she is being taunted by Reyes Alexander Farrow (otherwise known as Son of Satan) who has the ability to leave his body and haunt her.  The police and others are looking for him since he woke from a coma and walked out of a hospital instead of being returned to prison.   She is going to have to call on all her resources from the living and the dead to find Reyes and Cookie's friend.  I can't wait to start the next book in the series!  pazt
