1st time reading anything from this author. Amazingly written, even though it's obviously in the middle of a series I didn't feel lost. Definitely going to find more from this author. Love the quotes at the beginning of each chapter.

I sure did miss Amber and Quentin! But it's so odd reading about a grownup Amber and all the grownup things that she can now do... Wow... I'm looking forward to more from these two. Wish Cookie had made an appearance!

description

I just get so excited and happy when I get to read a book set in the Charley Davidson series. The Gravedigger's Son is Amber and Quentin's story, whose friendship and young love I have seen grow in the series. I was looking forward to see what would happen when these two would be reunited. The blurb summarized this book perfectly so Instead of going into the plot I will write down my thoughts. It was too short! That is what I want to say in the first place, and I know it is a novella, but I just wanted more.

Amber and Quentin's story would've been such an amazing full-length novel. Darynda teased me with this book but I loved every moment. The connection and love between these two is beautiful and very strong. I enjoyed seeing them as grown-ups and I can't wait to see more of them in the spin-0ff series. There was a great balance between humor, romance, action and paranormal elements. This novella is a treat for the fans of the series so I am very happy that Darynda decided to write it regardless of the size of the book.

Darynda Jones still trying to patch up plot holes that she left in last Charley Davidson's book.
This novella covers Amber & Quentin.
Not bad, I wish it was a full book, so everything was better developed.

Love the Charley Davidson universe and this was a nice follow up with two characters I hardly remember since I finished this series many years and books ago.

I liked the story, but I would have liked it to have been a bit more rounded in that the plot took a lot of development time away from Quentin and Amber’s reunion and discussion around the second chance at a relationship.

Nothing extreme in this one, I do love how these novellas are building up the bridge for the continuation
