I'm already begging for the next one! * J. R. Ward *The UF genre just gor a major infusion of humour and sass in the form of PI Charley Davidson (aka the Grim Reaper). Jones makes a truly memorable debut. * RT Book Review Magazine *The author's sarcastic sense of humour . . . grows on the reader as the story progresses. Jones skilfully establishes the novel's setting and keeps up the pace with plenty of action. And let's be honest - the sex is pretty hot, too. Fans of Sherrilyn Kenyon and other authors of paranormal romance will love this series debut. * Library Journal *First Grave on the Right is a phenomenal debut! This series opener has it all - rollicking humour, sizzling sexual tension, and a spine-tingling mystery.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next Charley Davidson tale! * Kresley Cole, New York Times bestselling author of Pleasure of a Dark Prince *First Grave on the Right is witty, darkly thrilling, and oh-so-sexy! * Gena Showalter, New York Times bestselling author *The 11th from Jones (The Curse of the Tenth Grave, 2016, etc.) is densely packed with supernatural problems, sex scenes not for the timid, and assorted complicated mysteries. * Publishers Weekly *Seems crazy that we're already on installment eleven, but in all honesty this is one series that I'd be happy if it never came to an end. * For the Love of Words *Next in the New York best-selling paranormal series, still steaming along after The Curse of the Tenth Grave. * Library Journal *This series is a must read for anyone who enjoys their paranormal romance with a side of snark and snappy one-liners. * Knockin Boots *
