Christmas is coming a little early this year for us Charley Davidson fans. If you're up to date on the series, you know Ms. Jones left us with a bit of a cliffhanger after the last book.

And there's something new, vote for our blog as the blog of the day! Scroll down to the end of the post to enter!
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.

Excerpt:
Still covered in duct tape, he turned on his side to
face me, his flesh straining against the binds. “You would tell me if something
were wrong, right?”
“What do you mean? Of course, I would.”
“So, if you knew something could happen to you, you’d
let me know.”
Where was he going with this? “Yes. Nothing is going
to happen to me. Well, unless the Twelve get ahold of me. Other than that, I
should be fine.”
He nodded in thought.
“Reyes, what is it?”
“I think you keep secrets from me.”
“You keep secrets from me,” I said, teasing. “Seems
only fair.”
He leaned forward and nibbled on my ear. “We can
decide who gets to keep secrets and who doesn’t later. Until then, want to do
it?”
“Reyes!” I said, appalled. “You just had your arm
nearly ripped off at the shoulder.” That and the fact that a grown man asking
me if I wanted to “do it” was hilarious.
“We can still do it.”
I giggled. “No, we can’t.”
“I’m very creative with my mouth.”
“I am well aware of that.”
“You should sit on my face.”
A bubble of laughter escaped again. “I am not sitting
on your face. Oh, my god.”
“Just sit on my face. I’ll make all your dreams come
true.”
“You really need to practice humility,” I said.
“Humility is overrated.”
