From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Darynda Jones comes a new story in her Charley Davidson series…
Eric Vause is done.
Done with ghosts. Done with hellhounds. And definitely done with asshole demons, mostly because he’d been possessed by one. Even now, five years later, the rage he absorbed from the creature has yet to wane, so he decides a road trip is in order. Surely some cool air, great scenery, and a case of Dos Equis will shake things loose. Unfortunately, supernatural events happen everywhere. When he meets up with a friend whose partner’s daughter needs help with a pest problem—aka, a ghost—Eric takes that as his cue to leave.
Until he sees her.
He can tell Halle’s house isn’t the only thing that is haunted. The hopelessness behind her eyes tugs at something deep inside him. Something all too familiar. The fact that she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen has nothing to do with his change of heart. And he vows to leave her in his rearview the minute he takes care of the poltergeist. Then again, vows were never his strong suit.

My Review:
The Grave Robber is a novella set in the Charley Davidson world and boy do I love being back. The Grave Robber features Eric Vause, previously possessed by a demon, saved by Charley. Now he's in Idaho for a quick visit to a friend. This same friend has a business partner whose daughter is have a problem with the supernatural. Eric doesn't want to help. He no longer wants to acknowledge the "gift" he was given, but when he sees Halle, all bets are off.
Eric and Halle's story is filled with suspense as Eric investigates Halle's haunting. The more he digs, the more Eric suspects there is more to Halle's issues. The Grave Robber is a wonderful addition to the Charley Davidson series. The book is fast-paced, engaging, and well-written.
I was provided a copy of this book.
