I think I’m becoming addicted to this series. After reading book one and the first novella, I totally love all the quirkiness that is Charley, Cookie, Uncle Bob and the rest of the gang, which include the dead.

I enjoyed reading about this case and how it unfolded. As Charley is working her way to solve the mystery of a missing woman, she is also trying to help Reyes. Unfortunately, he doesn’t want her help and he gives her dire warnings along the way. I don’t want to give too much away but I will say that I absolutely love Reyes even though we see very little of him. This is much more about Charley with a touch of romance thrown in. That little bit makes me want so much more.

Laced with humor that tickles me every step of the way, it also has an intriguing storyline that kept me trotting along as fast as I could read. There are still so many things left unanswered and small particulars that I’m curious to see if they will affect future cases.

I’m definitely digging into the rest of the series with fingers crossed for more of Reyes.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley and St. Martin's Press. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Sensational and suspenseful, the second book in the Charley Davidson series has readers holding their breath in anticipation of what happens next. Charley as well as all the characters in the series are strong, vivid characters that easily draw readers into their world, but Charley and Reyes still the show. Charley is smart, fun and fully of sass as she kicks butt while solving crimes and Reyes is oh so dominate, a true bad a** that has readers melting on the spot. The fun and snarky dialogue adds a lighthearted atmosphere to the story but at the same time, readers can feel the importance of every scene. Charley and Reyes has lots of electrical chemistry that produces plenty of sparks but this relationship is in no way typical and has some major obstacles.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot is full of non-stop excitement and thrills including surprising twists and turns that keeps readers guessing. Not is Charley for a missing woman which turns out to be more complicated and dangerous than she originally thought, but she’s also searching for Reyes’ body and he’s being quite stubborn, then there are things going with her family and secrets being revealed. There always something going on in Charley’s world and readers can’t help but become completely engrossed in this novel.
