"In a small village in New York Charley Davidson is living as Jane Doe, a girl with no memory of who she is or where she came from. So when she is working at a diner and slowly begins to realize she can see dead people, she's more than a little taken aback. Stranger still are the people entering her life. They seem to know things about her. Things they hide with lies and half-truths. Soon, she senses something far darker. A force that wants to cause her harm, she is sure of it. Her saving grace comes in the form of a new friend she feels she can confide in and the fry cook, a devastatingly handsome man whose smile is breathtaking and touch is scalding. He stays close, and she almost feels safe with him around. But no one can outrun their past, and the more lies that swirl around her-even from her new and trusted friends-the more disoriented she becomes, until she is confronted by a man who claims to have been sent to kill her. Sent by the darkest force in the universe. A force that absolutely will not stop until she is dead. Thankfully, she has a Rottweiler. But that doesn't help in her quest to find her identity and recover what she's lost. That will take all her courage and a touch of the power she feels flowing like electricity through her veins. She almost feels sorry for him. The devil in blue jeans. The disarming fry cook who lies with every breath he takes. She will get to the bottom of what he knows if it kills her. Or him. Either way"--… (more)

I was super bored. Skipped most of the book. ( )

"In a small village in New York Charley Davidson is living as Jane Doe, a girl with no memory of who she is or where she came from." Charley broke apart at the end of the last book in the series when she learned her true celestial name, and after having to give up her little Beep to keep her safe, and ended up in Sleepy Hollow, New York, with amnesia. It was really fun to watch Charley learn that she could see dead people and not know what to do with that information. She started out all alone but soon became part of the family at the diner where she worked, along with a new waitress named Cookie (and her husband Robert), and a very sexy new fry cook named Reyes Farrow. She also had a couple of very handsome new regulars named Osh and Garrett. Unfortunately, the gang agreed that they had to let Charley regain her memories all on her own, although it was amusing to watch Charley interact with them. Soon, though, things took a serious and dangerous turn (it's Charley, so of course!), and everyone had to pull together to save lives and solve mysteries. We got answers to some of our questions, but ended up with even more questions, which will hopefully be answered in the next book, which I've already got queued up!

5/5 stars. ( )

This book is a bit difficult for me to review. Not because I didn't enjoy it, but because I am coming into it totally blind. This book is 9th in a series and I have never read book 1 through 8. Naturally it took me a little while to figure out that "Janey Doerr" was not a stranger to these other characters and the reason ''Cook" would call her Charley when she got upset.

Anyway, "Janey" has lost her memory, and has been taken under the wing of a variety of characters, some who are not among the living. Oh yes, Janey can see dead people! This was a really fun read for me. It is humorous, sexy, and spooky, and I loved the setting in "Sleepy Hollow" complete with headless horseman. I am sure fans of the series will enjoy this newest installment and I would recommend those who have not started at the beginning would grab book one, as I intend to do.

I received an advance copy for review ( )

Another fun addition to the series. The amnesia was a little frustrating but was necessary for the plot. There were several situations for Charlie to solve with various ghosts etc., plus part of the overarching plot continued. I have to say I prefer the smaller elements of the story. I'm unsure about where the author is going with the whole who Charlie actually is thing. And I generally don't care for characters who are too powerful beings. But the author is holding it all together with plenty of checks and balances. Loved snarky Charlie and hot Reyes of course. ( )

I stood beside the booth and poured coffee into a beige cup that had the words Firelight Grill written across it, wondering if I should tell my customer, Mr. Pettigrew, about the dead stripper sitting next to him.
