With scorching-hot tension and high-octane humor, First Grave on the Right is your signpost to paranormal suspense of the highest order.
This whole grim reaper thing should come with a manual.
Or a diagram of some kind.
A flowchart would have been nice.
Charley Davidson is a part-time private investigator and full-time grim reaper. Meaning, she sees dead people. Really. And it's her job to convince them to "go into the light." But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (like murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she's been having about an entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely. But what does he want with Charley? And why can't she seem to resist him? And what does she have to lose by giving in?

Let me
say that the only time I've read a book faster than this book was when I read The Hunger Games trilogy in less than two days. I didn't eat, sleep or
go to the bathroom until I finished reading all about Katniss Everdeen and
Panem. That being said, I finished First Grave on the Right in two, three-hour sessions before bed. I’m
making that number up because it’s been over two months since I read the book
and I couldn’t possibly remember exactly how many hours I spent reading it but
I do know I finished it in two nightly sessions. (Side note: I mainly read
before going to bed. It puts me in the mood to sleep and it’s a good wind down
from the rest of my day. You should try it sometime if you haven’t before.) I
have to admit this book was addicting. I had such a hard time putting it down
so I ended up staying up later than I wanted to just so I could find out what
happened next.
