Eighth Grave After Dark

With twelve hellhounds hot on her heels preg-tastic Charley Davidson is holed up in the one place that can keep her and her family safe: an old abandoned convent. Ready to pop both physically and metaphorically now that she's the sized of a beached whale. Thankfully there a new case that captured her attention, there's a departed nun hanging around and it seems to Charley she's trying to tell her something. It's a good thing for Charley that the scene of the crime just happened to be somewhere on the property because Charley has been forbidden from stepping foot off it.

But Charley has more things to worry about than the upcoming arrival of little Beep, her husband Reyse seems to be getting and sick and being the son of Satan that's not a normal thing. While the team searches for answers involving the twelve, Charley just wants answers. More convinced than ever that those closest to her have been drawn to her for a reason. But the good times don't last long because Charley's about to get a surprise she didn't see coming.

Review

Eighth Grave After Dark is the eighth installment of the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones. This book revolves around one person: Beep. Charley is eight months pregnant and is going crazy locked behind the invisible border keeping the hellhounds out and the people she loves in. With those closest to her keeping secrets and the constant need to pee you can understand why she's not at her finest. You would thinking having a complete book revolving at one place would get a little boring. I mean how much trouble could one pregnant lady get into right? Only Charley Davidson has the super power to cause trouble without out even leaving her house, or well home away from home as the case may be. Her makeshift family is willing to follow her to the ends of the earth if it means keeping her little bundle of joy safe.  This book starts with a wedding and ends with a bang. One of the most heart-breaking books of the series.
