Synopsis (Goodreads):

Welcome to the world of grim reaper extraordinaire Charley Davidson. Try as she might, there’s no avoiding her destiny.

Sometimes being the grim reaper really is, well, grim. And since Charley’s last case went so awry, she has taken a couple of months off to wallow in the wonders of self-pity. But when a woman shows up on her doorstep convinced someone is trying to kill her, Charley has to force herself to rise above...or at least get dressed. It becomes clear something is amiss when everyone the woman knows swears she’s insane. But the more they refute the woman’s story, the more Charley believes it.

In the meantime, the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, is out of prison and out of Charley’s life, as per her wishes and several perfectly timed death threats. But his absence has put a serious crimp in her sex life. While there are other things to consider, like the fact that the city of Albuquerque has been taken hostage by an arsonist, Charley is having a difficult time staying away. Especially when it looks like Reyes may be involved.

Just when life was returning to normal, Charley is thrust back into the world of crime, punishment, and the devil in blue jeans in this hilarious fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling series.

Thoughts on Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet: Charley's a magnificently hot mess in this book. With good reason, mind you. Her kidnapping and torture at the hands of a sadistic a-hole in the last book have kinda wrecked her. She's gone to ground (so to speak. It's more like she's holed up in her apartment and indulged in some questionable late night TV shopping) and she's not planning on coming up any time soon.

The best laid plans, right?

A new client unwittingly drags her out of her hidey hole and smoldering Reyes does that thing where he lights her panties on fire just by looking at her. It's FANTASTIC. (But the, Reyes always is.)

A few more answers, even more burning questions, and Charley's starting to explore those abilities everybody's dancing around. Not going to lie, she and Reyes have to figure something out soon because those two are KILLING me with their push and pull.

Killing me. Yeah, I'm digging this series pretty hard. Bring on the next.
