Charlie Davidson Series

I have recently started reading the Charlie Davidson Series by Darynda Jones. I just finished #4 "The Fourth Gave on Beneath my Feet"

This has been such a fun series so far.  It is based on Charlie Davidson, a PI who can see and talk to the dead, oh and she's a portal for them to cross through.  She sees herself as a grim reaper, but I wonder if Darynda has something else in mind for her.  But I'm getting ahead of my self.

Charlie has always been able to see and talk to the departed.  This worked out great for her dad since he was an officer in homicide.  He has since retired but her uncle is still on the force.  However helpful to the two men in her life, as you can imagine, it is awkward, to say the least, in day to day life.  She runs her detective agency with Cookie, her best friend, who is loyal and is always on her side.  Charlie is a bad ass (and a smart ass) character and the dialogue in Darynda's books are great.  

Book 1, "First Grave on the Right" introduces us to all the great characters, like Charlie, Cookie, UB (uncle Bob) and Reyes.  We learn about Charlies background and about Reyes (RE: super hot guy, or Jason Stathem, Bradley Cooper, Chris Hemsworth...you get the pic)

These are mystery/thriller/steamy books that are fast reads cause they are so good!
Start the series, let me know what you think.  They are the perfect summer read!
