Review:

After finishing up First Grave on the Right I knew that this series had me. Normally I don't care about shorts and only follow them for a few series. I hadn't planned on doing shorts for the Charley Davidson books, but after book one I knew I was a goner. I will now read anything that has anything to do with Charley.

So I hunted down a copy, and the rest of the series to date, and sat down to read this short. Which surprised me as it was told by a ghost that had found her way to Charley's light. Hmmmm. Strangely enough I enjoyed it. It was fun seeing Charley and Reyes from the outside. And I enjoyed the inner thoughts about the characters.

It was great seeing Charley's compassion for the dead. Also, chilling to see what happens when a ghost can't remember. It was well done and overall I enjoyed it. I'm curious what future shorts for the series will be like.

For those wondering whether or not to give this a try I'd say try it if you love the series. Either way it's not important to the story so if you opt out nothing will be missed. I did love how the tension between Charley and Reyes could be felt by just an observer.

Sexual Content: Some mild dark themes, and some kissing.

 
3/5- Adored it, just a few minor details held it back.
