First Grave on the Right by Darynda JonesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm not usually a fan of paranormals (other than time travel), but I've been hearing about this book for years and was in the mood for something different from what I usually read, so when I saw that the first book in Darynda Jones' Charley Davidson series was available through Net Galley, I decided to take a chance and try it out. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed "First Grave on the Right." Granted, it had its share of cheesy one liners (a few of which became repetitious and therefore kind of annoying by the end of the book), but overall, it was a fairly light and humorous read. The characters were mostly likeable, and surprisingly enough, the ghosts didn't creep me out as much as I thought they would.
I plan to read at least the next book in this series in the near future. Charley's story is certainly very unique and engaging, and I am interested in learning more about her abilities and how they affect those around her.
