Summary
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Darynda Jones comes a story in her Charley Davidson series…
Guarding a precocious five-year-old who is half-human， half-god， and 100% destined to save the world is no easy feat。
Garrett Swopes was the ultimate skeptic until he met a certain hellion and her husband。 They vanished after stopping a catastrophic event and left him， a mere mortal， in charge of protecting their gift to mankind。 But when she disappears as well， he needs the help of another breed of hellion。 One who can see past the veil of space and time。 One who betrayed him。
She will get a truce in the deal， but she will never earn his forgiveness。
Marika Dubois’s sonmdash;a warrior in the coming war between heaven and hellmdash;was foreseen long before his birth。 But to create a child strong enough to endure the trials that lay ahead， she needed a descendant of powerful magics。 She found that in Garrett Swopes and tricked him into fathering her son。 A ploy he has never forgiven her for。 But when he knocks on her door asking for her help， she sees the fierce attraction he tries to deny rise within him。
And Marika has to decide if she dares risk her heart a second time to help the only man she’s ever loved。
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story。 For new readers， it’s an introduction to an author’s world。 And for fans， it’s a bonus book in the author’s series。 We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do。**

No sé muy bien que decir， fue entretenida la historia pero no me encantó， aparecen muchos personajes de la saga pero realmente no hacen nada， no se como explicarlo， está tan diferente de la historia original pero de igual manera quiero saber como termina。

This book didn't disapoint。 It was great to catch up to characters that I grew to love and to see what new adventures they have in store。 This book didn't disapoint。 It was great to catch up to characters that I grew to love and to see what new adventures they have in store。 。。。more

4。5 starsI’m not sure what to make of this “story”。 To say it could be a stand-alone is kind of a stretch。 The POV threw me off （why does “threw” look so weird to me right now？） because it’s third person and I’m not quite used to reading that。 And the POV tried to be first person sometimes， I guess。 It was kind of just weird？BUT！！！！！ If you’ve read Charley Davidson AND read 13th Grave， you MUST read this。 You will kick your own ass if you don’t。。。。 somehow。。。 if you realize you want to。。。 kick y 4。5 starsI’m not sure what to make of this “story”。 To say it could be a stand-alone is kind of a stretch。 The POV threw me off （why does “threw” look so weird to me right now？） because it’s third person and I’m not quite used to reading that。 And the POV tried to be first person sometimes， I guess。 It was kind of just weird？BUT！！！！！ If you’ve read Charley Davidson AND read 13th Grave， you MUST read this。 You will kick your own ass if you don’t。。。。 somehow。。。 if you realize you want to。。。 kick your own ass， that is。。。Never mind。 。。。more

I loved the Charley Davidson series so it was nice to have a novella within that world。 Garrett was one of my favorite characters so I like that this novella follows him though I thought the plot was subpar。

A very short read that catches up with Beep， Garret， and the gang five years down the road。 It was a very lovely read to see how all are doing in their watch over Beep。 And there is a new coffee shop in town。。。who are the new owners？！？Go Cards！ L1C4！！

I cannot express how sad I was when the Charley Davidson series ended。 Then there was the Reyes POV book， which helped and then The Graveyard Shift。 It is written from a totally different POV and gives us a look at an older Beep。 It is a really good read and gives a lot of insight into Swopes’ world。 And it answers some questions still nagging at the back of the mind when the series ended。 Or did it？ I’m hoping that Darynda will not leave us hanging。 I mean there’s a whole war with Satan left un I cannot express how sad I was when the Charley Davidson series ended。 Then there was the Reyes POV book， which helped and then The Graveyard Shift。 It is written from a totally different POV and gives us a look at an older Beep。 It is a really good read and gives a lot of insight into Swopes’ world。 And it answers some questions still nagging at the back of the mind when the series ended。 Or did it？ I’m hoping that Darynda will not leave us hanging。 I mean there’s a whole war with Satan left untouched。 。。。more

What did I just read？ For a novella there was a surprising amount of important stuff happening in this book。 I feel like this book just undid a lot of what happened in the Charley Davidson last book。 I'm still trying to understand that ending。 What did I just read？ For a novella there was a surprising amount of important stuff happening in this book。 I feel like this book just undid a lot of what happened in the Charley Davidson last book。 I'm still trying to understand that ending。 。。。more

So， so， so， so incredibly happy to be back in the Charley Davidson world！！After reading "Summoned to Thirteenth Grave"， I was in a deep funk， missing the "crew" for months。And then I finally read this book and I am so excited for "The Gravedigger’s Son" and hopefully more books in the Charles world！！ So， so， so， so incredibly happy to be back in the Charley Davidson world！！After reading "Summoned to Thirteenth Grave"， I was in a deep funk， missing the "crew" for months。And then I finally read this book and I am so excited for "The Gravedigger’s Son" and hopefully more books in the Charles world！！ 。。。more

So much fun！ I've always adored Garrett so it was wonderful to get his POV in this novella and to see more of his relationships。 The book had a few surprises and took it to places that I really did not expect but I enjoyed every minute of it。 I wasn't sure if I was going to be "in for" the next arc of this series but after reading this book I'm all in and can't wait for more。 So much fun！ I've always adored Garrett so it was wonderful to get his POV in this novella and to see more of his relationships。 The book had a few surprises and took it to places that I really did not expect but I enjoyed every minute of it。 I wasn't sure if I was going to be "in for" the next arc of this series but after reading this book I'm all in and can't wait for more。 。。。more

Answers the question at the end of the seriesThe end of book thirteen had me wondering how and when we’d know what happened to Osh。 This gives us a glimpse。 I just hope there’s more to come

I felt like the romance between Garrett and Marika （long overdue！） was a little rushed and deserved more clarity。 BUT this novella is a must read for Charley Davidson fans。 Absolutely furthers Beep’s story and gives us that classic Darynda Jones paranormal thrill。 I can’t wait until the new series begins。 This is just a taste and I need more。

3。75 Stars。There's a reason why this book has been waiting in my to be read shelf for a long time。1， This is not a story of Garret+Marika。 It is a story of Beep adjacent to Garret+Marika sorting out their issues。2， I get it， Beep （can't keep typing out Elwyn） had to grow up， but the inter-dimension growth spurt plot device is getting old hella fast。3， Does this mean that in the future， we can look forward to Beep having her own series？4， I don't get the Charley+Reyes hiding from Beep shtick。 If 3。75 Stars。There's a reason why this book has been waiting in my to be read shelf for a long time。1， This is not a story of Garret+Marika。 It is a story of Beep adjacent to Garret+Marika sorting out their issues。2， I get it， Beep （can't keep typing out Elwyn） had to grow up， but the inter-dimension growth spurt plot device is getting old hella fast。3， Does this mean that in the future， we can look forward to Beep having her own series？4， I don't get the Charley+Reyes hiding from Beep shtick。 If anything， like I'd said before， Beep felt like a natural progression of C+R， but since D。J。 didn't want to give them a child character， one who'd basically 'slow down' the plot， she is basically casting them in background roles。5， At least Amber+Quentin are getting a book this year。6， Beep's mannerisms being exactly the same as Charley's， only in a tween body， but with the same coffee drinking， mental headspace mentality feel like copy+paste。It was an okay read。 It sets up more plot holes left unfilled than it answers questions。 It wasn't the greatest read but I'll definitely read more from this series， if and when more books are published。 。。。more

I'm glad Darynda Jones is still writing works set in the Charley Davidson world。 It was good to see Garrett star in his own story。 I still hope we get stories about Beep as she grows up。 I'm glad Darynda Jones is still writing works set in the Charley Davidson world。 It was good to see Garrett star in his own story。 I still hope we get stories about Beep as she grows up。 。。。more

NiceThis is a short story about Beep and her protectors。 It’s explains Garrett and Maria’s story。 You get a glimpse of what it’s like for Beep growing up， you find out what happened to Osh， and some answers about what actually happened to Charley & Reyes！

I don’t always read the short stories after a series ends， but if you loved the Charley Davidson series。。。 this is one of those short stories you NEED TO READ！ It’s a Garrett Swoopes short story， but it actually contributes to the finale！ You get Beep’s growing up， you find out what happened to Osh， and some answers about what actually happened to Charley & Reyes！

Are we sure this was writter by Darynda Jones？ Because it's bad， like really really bad。 Like "I don't want this series to be ruined so I won't read any other book nor novellas written about them from now on" kind of bad。 It's ruined the series a bit for me already。 Wow， really bad。 Are we sure this was writter by Darynda Jones？ Because it's bad， like really really bad。 Like "I don't want this series to be ruined so I won't read any other book nor novellas written about them from now on" kind of bad。 It's ruined the series a bit for me already。 Wow， really bad。 。。。more
