CWs for referenced CSA and domestic abuse.
This. Was. EXCELLENT. Also absolutely the most serious of the books so far. The character developments, the plot twists, the heart-breaking moments. All of it was pitch-perfect.
(Was this my favorite of the Grave Talker books so far because it involved the mother of all breakups with Bishop? Maybe. But when I truly say I never liked him, I mean it. Never vibed with him. He is much better as a villain than a love interest. Deliciously insidious. And also I'm pretty sure Darby might end up with Amon instead? That demon is in LURV with her and it's very good for me.)
Cassandra Parker is perfect, as always. So excited to race into the last two books in this series!

Dead Ahead - the Grave Talker Series Book 5 - Review
Couple: Darby Adler, Bishop LaRoux & Aemon
Author: Annie Anderson
Tropes: thriller, PNR, ghost romance, mystery, lover-enemy, demon romance
Review: Book5…no words are what come to mind. Darby is heartbroken in the aftermath of Bishop’s betrayals in book 4. She has begun to question her relationship and everything she thought they were together. Book 5 shows us Bishop’s true colors as well.
Darby has a lot of setbacks in book 5 and she meets Aemon for the first time truly in this book. After being requested to find him by Deimos, Aemon’s father, she then learns she has many new enemies that come out of hiding.
Darby takes on the role as warden in this book while heartedly and we see many old friends return like Shiloh and Mags. She grows a backbone to face off with Bishop and put him in his place for once and she also discusses it with Jay once the hats come off.
This book does not have heat but it does begin to grow Darby and Aemon’s bond. We see a different type of demon infatuation since all he wants is to make sure Darby takes care of herself. After all the heartache Darby suffers from Bishop and her father, it is nice to see someone take care of her or begin to try to.
Rating: 4.5/5, too many new questions but omg AEMON!

GAH - THAT TWIST WITH BISHOP. There were definitely a few tearjerker moments, and I'm really liking the new hint of a love interest for Darby. I really love all the characters and can't wait for the next release.

Annie has done it again! The newest entry in Darby’s saga is just as good, and honestly better than, the preceding titles. Same snark and humor but with more darkness and grit thrown in. I will say that this one may be triggering for a few people but is definitely worth the pain.
