Synopsis (Goodreads):
Grim Reaper Charley Davidson is back in the final installment of Darynda Jones’ New York Times bestselling paranormal series!

Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper extraordinaire, is pissed. She’s been kicked off the earthly plain for eternity – which is the appropriate amount of time to make a person starkraving mad. But someone’s looking out for her, and she’s allowed to return after a mere hundred years in exile. Is it too much to hope for that not much has changed? Apparently it is. Bummer.

She’s missed Reyes and her daughter, Beep, but now that she’s back on earth, it’s time to put to rest burning questions that need answers. What happened to her mother? How did she really die? Who killed her? And are cupcakes or coffee the best medicine? It all comes to a head in an epic showdown between good and evil in this final smart and hilarious novel.
Thoughts on Summoned to Thirteenth Grave: The ending of a series is always bittersweet. I love seeing resolution to a story line I've been invested in through several books, but it's also hard to say goodbye to those characters. Unless, of course, it's only goodbye for now. Then it's a little less bitter and a little more sweet.

Charley and Reyes' story...well, there were quite a few ups and downs with them, weren't there? But no matter what's been thrown at this seemingly mismatched duo, they've been true to one another. And, HOLY WOW, are they smokin' hot. Maybe it's the fact that they'd both sacrifice anything and everything for one another if they had to that puts them at the top of my couples list.

As far as this particular story line goes, Charley's returned from exile and...well, things are complicated. Actually, they're not all that complicated. And they do get resolved. THINGS HAPPEN. Obligations are met. Charley and Reyes do their thang.

And pieces are maneuvered for a continuation of this story once a certain sweet baby has grown into herself.

I'm sad to say goodbye to Charley, Reyes, and the rest of the crew, but I'm not at all displeased with how their story came to a close. Here's to whatever the future will bring!
