Synopsis (Goodreads):

Twelve. Twelve of the deadliest beasts ever forged in the fires of hell have escaped onto our plane, and they want nothing more than to rip out the jugular of Charley Davidson and serve her lifeless, mangled body to Satan for dinner. So there’s that. But Charley has more on her plate than a mob of testy hellhounds. For one thing, her father has disappeared, and the more she retraces his last steps, the more she learns he was conducting an investigation of his own, one that has Charley questioning everything she’s ever known about him. Add to that an ex-BFF who is haunting her night and day, a rash of suicides that has authorities baffled, and a drop-dead sexy fiancé who has attracted the attentions of a local celebrity, and Charley is not having the best week of her life.

A tad north of hell, a hop, skip, and a jump past the realm of eternity, is a little place called Earth, and Charley Davidson, grim reaper extraordinaire, is determined to do everything in her power to protect it.

We’re doomed.

Thoughts on Seventh Grave and No Body: Okay. For the most part I like Charley's devil may care, somewhat spastic (emphasis on the spazzzzzz, man!) attitude. Buuuuuut, I also totally get Reyes's frustration with her. Like, she has zero regard for her own physical well-being and that makes it tough on a guy. Especially when his own special bun is cooking in her oven.

Honestly, the bun should be a good enough reason for Charley to be a little more cautious. But she's not, really. Like, maybe she's marginally more careful but...no, she's really not. She's Charley. She'll throw herself into the line of fire for a stranger if they needed her to.

Which isn't a bad thing, in a perfect world, but there are A LOT of things after this woman and she's not very conscientious when it comes to her safety. Which leads me back to Reyes. THAT GUY. Not only does he have to worry about the forces of darkness after his special lady, but he also has to deal with being his infamous self. Seriously, the dude can't catch a break. The only bright spot in his life if Charley and...MAN, I like those two together.

I have book 8 on standby because THINGS HAPPENED in this one and I want to know what's coming next. I'm off to read now!
