New Releases by Darynda Jones

VOUS SAVEZ, CES MAUVAISES CHOSES QUI ARRIVENT AUX GENS BIEN ? C''EST MOI. Avec douze chiens de l''enfer à mes trousses, il n''y a qu''un seul endroit où je pouvais me réfugier : un vieux couvent à l''abandon. Mais m''y terrer pendant des mois, enceinte jusqu''aux oreilles, n''a rien d''une sinécure. D''autant que Reyes semble malade même s''il me jure qu''il va bien. Heureusement, je ne manque pas d''amis. Et j''aurai bien besoin d''eux, parce que ce qui s''annonce a de quoi surprendre n''importe qui, même moi !

Grim Reaper Charley Davidson is back in the ninth installment of Darynda Jones'' New York Times bestselling paranormal series

All his life, Reyes Alexander Farrow has suffered the torments of the damned. Only one thing has given him hope: the woman who radiates a light that no mortals can see; a light that only the departed can see... Told from his point of view, BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN chronicles the first time Reyes ever encountered Charley, and how their relationship has been the one thing that can either save him or doom him.

VOUS SAVEZ, CES MAUVAISES CHOSES QUI ARRIVENT AUX GENS BIEN ? C''EST MOI. Douze chiens de l''enfer se sont échappés. Leur but : me tuer, moi, charley Davidson, faucheuse hors du commun et détective privée à mes heures, et rapporter mon cadavre à Satan. Mais j''ai d''autres chats à fouetter : comme mon père disparu alors qu''il menait une enquête des plus étranges ou encore mon ex-meilleure amie qui me hante nuit et jour, une épidémie de suicides qui laisse les autorités perplexes et mon fiancé qui s''est attiré les faveurs d''une célébrité locale... Le moins qu''on puisse dire c''est que je ne passe pas la meilleure semaine de ma vie.

"Bonus chapter inside only in the print edition"--Cover.

Darynda Jones has garnered a strong following with her series starring Grim Reaper Charley Davidson. Here together for the first time in a stunning eBook bundle are the first three novels in the New York Times bestselling paranormal series: First Grave on the Right Charley sees dead people. And it''s her job to convince them to "go into the light." But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e., murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she''s been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely. Second Grave on the Left When Charley and Cookie, her best friend slash receptionist, have to track down a missing woman, the case is not quite as open and shut as they anticipate. Meanwhile, Reyes Alexander Farrow (otherwise known as the Son of Satan. Yes. Literally.) has left his corporeal body because he''s being tortured by demons who want to lure Charley closer. But Reyes can''t let that happen. Because if the demons get to Charley, they''ll have a portal to heaven. And if they have a portal to heaven...well, let''s just say it wouldn''t be pretty. Third Grave Dead Ahead Every time Charley closes her eyes, she sees him: Reyes Farrow, the part-human, part-supermodel son of Satan. Yes, she did imprison him for all eternity, but come on. How is she supposed to solve a missing persons case, deal with an ego-driven doctor, calm her curmudgeonly dad, and take on a motorcycle gang hell-bent on murder when the devil''s son just won''t give up?

Darynda Jones has garnered a strong following with her series starring Grim Reaper Charley Davidson. Here together for the first time in a stunning eBook bundle are the fourth, fifth, and sixth novels in the New York Times bestselling paranormal series: Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet Since Charley''s last case went so awry, she has taken a couple of months off to wallow in self-pity. But when a woman shows up on her doorstep convinced someone is trying to kill her, Charley has to force herself to rise above . . . or at least get dressed. In the meantime, the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, is out of prison and out of Charley''s life. But she''s having a hard time staying away...Just when life was returning to normal, Charley is thrust back into the world of crime, punishment, and the devil in blue jeans. Fifth Grave Past the Light Things get complicated for Charley when Reyes Farrow, moves in next door and then becomes her main suspect in an arson case. Charley has vowed to stay away from him until she can find out the truth...but then dead women start appearing in her apartment, one after another, each lost, confused, and terrified beyond reason. When it becomes apparent that her own sister, Gemma, is the serial killer''s next target Charley has no choice but to ask for Reyes'' help. But he wants something in return. Charley. All of her, body and soul. And to keep her sister safe, it is a price she is willing to pay. Sixth Grave on the Edge When the FBI file on Reyes'' childhood happens to land into Charley''s lap, she can''t help herself: She opens it...and then the real fun begins. First, Charley finds a naked corpse riding shotgun in her car. Then, a man loses his soul in a card game. Throw in a Deaf boy who sees dead people, a woman running from mobsters, and a very suspicious Reyes, and things can''t get any worse for Charley. Unless, of course, the Twelve Beasts of Hell are unleashed...

Vous savez, ces mauvaises choses qui arrivent aux gens bien ? C''est moi. La plupart des filles y réfléchiraient à deux fois avant de se fiancer à Reyes Farrow... Je ne suis pas comme la plupart des filles. Il est le fils unique du diable et moi une faucheuse en formation accro au café. Ce qui devrait nous rendre incompatibles. Et même ennemis. Mais il est aussi ténébreux, sensuel, sexy à se damner et tout ce dont j''ai jamais rêvé. Et je suis aussi détective privée. Alors quand un fichier du FBI concernant l''enfance de Reyes me tombe entre les mains... je sais que je ne devrais pas l''ouvrir. Sauf que je ne peux pas m''en empêcher. Et ça, c''est une très mauvaise idée !

The New York Times bestseller from Darynda Jones, Seventh Grave and No Body, puts Charley Davidson in the line of more fires than she may be able to handle... 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. But all of that combined barely scratches the surface of her problems. Recent developments—and a few distressing prophesies—have forced her to become a responsible adult. Exactly the kind of adult she''s never aspired to be. To conquer such a monumental task, she''s decided to start small. Really small. She gets a pet. But how can she save the world against the forces of evil when she can''t even keep a goldfish alive? 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.

Detective del paranormale, insuperabile cacciatrice di anime... Charley Davidson è tornata! E sta ingurgitando quantità enormi di caffeina per restare sveglia, perché ogni volta che chiude gli occhi vede lui: Reyes Farrow, il figlio di Satana metà umano e metà supermodello, che la conduce in qualche avventura sensuale. La soluzione? Non chiudere occhio, costi quel che costi. Avrà anche imprigionato Reyes per l’eternità, ma come può riuscire a risolvere un caso di scomparsa, occuparsi di un dottore “egomaniaco”, calmare il padre brontolone, e affrontare una banda di motociclisti intenzionati a commettere un omicidio, se il figlio del diavolo non vuole proprio arrendersi con i suoi piani di seduzione... e di vendetta? Dalla penna irriverente di Darynda Jones, autrice bestseller per New York Times e Usa Today, tornano le dis-avventure dell’investigatrice più sarcastica, pazza e coraggiosa della narrativa paranormal.

Charley Davidson—part-time private investigator and full-time Grim Reaper—returns in the New York Times bestseller, Sixth Grave on the Edge by Darynda Jones. Sometimes I wrestle my demons. Sometimes we just snuggle.—Bumper Sticker Most girls might think twice before getting engaged to someone like Reyes Farrow—but Charley Davidson is not most girls. She''s a paranormal private eye and grim reaper-in-training who''s known to be a bit of a hell-raiser, especially after a few shots of caffeine. Her beloved Reyes may be the only begotten son of evil, but he''s dark and sultry and deeply sexy and everything Charley could hope for. Really. But when the FBI file on Reyes'' childhood happens to land into her lap, she can''t help herself: She opens it...and then the real fun begins. First, Charley finds a naked corpse riding shotgun in her car. Then, a man loses his soul in a card game. Throw in a Deaf boy who sees dead people, a woman running from mobsters, and a very suspicious Reyes, and things can''t get any worse for Charley.

From Darynda Jones, the New York Times bestselling author of Death and the Girl Next Door and Death, Doom & Detention, comes Death and the Girl He Loves, the exciting third book in her new young adult series Darklight The fate of the world is not something a girl wants on her shoulders, and that is especially true for Lorelei McAlister.

And those horrors are getting her friends killed. Because of this, she agrees to leave the sanctity of her hometown and is sent to a different world entirely. A boarding school. But even here she is being watched. Someone knows what she is. What she carries inside her soul. And on top of that she''s seeing visions. This is nothing new for Lorelei. But these visions are something more: death, destruction, and the end of the world. Lorelei must face the fact that there are people who want her dead, and no matter where she goes, no matter how far she runs, the lives of her friends and family are in mortal peril. Lucky for her, her friends and family include the handsome Angel of Death, a fiercely protective half-angel, and a ragtag group of loyal supporters who aren''t afraid to get a little dirty in the name of fighting pure evil.

Moi, c''est Charley, détective privée et faucheuse. "Compliquée" est mon deuxième prénom. Entre deux enquêtes, j''essaie de retrouver Reyes : le chaud comme la braise fils de Satan et mon fantasme personnel. Il est passé de "dans le coma à l''hôpital" à "disparu sans laisser de traces" en un claquement de doigts. Si je ne le retrouve pas rapidement, il risque de mourir. Et c''est après moi qu''en ont les démons qui le torturent : je suis censée leur permettre d''accéder au ciel. S''ils y parviennent... disons juste que ça ne sera pas beau à voir. Mais il n''est pas question pour autant que je laisse Reyes se suicider pour me protéger. Il est têtu quand il s''y met, mais je suis pire !

Des fois, je les aide à faire des trucs du genre laisser un mot à leurs proches ou traquer leur assassin... Ça tombe bien parce que je suis aussi détective privée ! Pratique, non ? Ce qui l''est moins, c''est que les gens autour de moi ont du mal à y croire. Comme Swopes, l''agent avec qui je bosse : je voudrais qu''il me lâche un peu la grappe. Cela dit, je pourrais le gérer si je n''avais pas d''autres chats à fouetter... comme ce bel inconnu qui vient me rendre visite toutes les nuits dans des rêves torrides et dont j''aimerais bien découvrir l''identité...

De stoere en sexy Charley Davidson is een privédetective met een bijzondere gave: ze kan doden zien. Daarom wordt ze regelmatig ingeschakeld om moorden op te lossen. Maar de laatste tijd is er nog iets anders aan de hand: regelmatig krijgt Charley in haar dromen bezoek van een knappe, mysterieuze jongen. Wat hij met haar doet is met geen pen te beschrijven. Wie is hij? En leeft hij echt of is hij ook een dolende geest? Charley weet niet wat ze op het spel zet als ze zich aan hem overgeeft, maar hem weerstaan kan ze ook niet!

Cada vez que cierra los ojos, Reyes Farrow, el hijo de Satán mitad humano, mitad supermodelo, está allí; a Charley no le importaría verlo si no estuviera tan cabreado con ella. Puede que el hecho de que lo vinculara de por vida a su cuerpo tenga algo que ver con su enfado. Pero tras trece días sin dormir está a punto de volverse loca. Nada mejor que un nuevo caso para olvidar sus problemas, o eso creía ella, porque a veces el remedio es peor que la enfermedad... Reseña: «Sexy y atrevida. Los personajes de Jones, tanto los vivos como los muertos, son tan atractivos como inolvidables.» Associated Press
