Second Grave on the Left.... How to explain this from my point of view & be fair to the author.

First: I'm still trying to figure out the big attraction for this series.

Second: I started with book #2 so I would not hold up anyone else on the wish list.I understand the vampire fad some are going thru now... but the son of satan?? (Gosh I even hate writing that word.) This is a little much for me to get excited reading about even in the fun fiction setting the author has created. This book poked a bit to closely of Satan having a son that was born on the line of good & evil. With heavy on the evil side.

Every paragraph is filled with one liners that at first were cute then just got old. I knew when ordering this book what the story was based on but did not know how real this dreadful demon would feel when the cute lines wore off. Reyes was no Puff The Magic Dragon. Had Reyes been left out of the plot totally the story would of been charming with the likeable ghosts. But... I found myself uncomfortable trying to enjoy the whole murder mystery with his unlikeable influence all through out. I am now wondering what possessed me to want to read this, no pun intended.

Maybe the vampire fad isn't so bad after all. I'll be cancelling book #1 from my wish list and letting those who want to partake move up a step. Just not my cup of tea. Maybe I'm just to old. This book left me with an unpleasant feeling. Reyes was portrayed as seductive and attractive & balancing on the ledge of doing evil at all times while our heroine flirted with him. It felt off for me to seek relaxation by continuing with this read. To be fair I read only about 100 pages but for me that was enough.
