My favourite genre is fantasy but I also love comedy, which means I am a big fan of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman and CK McDonnell. Truth is, I'll read anything!

No cover — Darynda Jones: For I Have Sinned (2013, Little, Brown Book Group Limited)

Review of 'For I Have Sinned' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This short story is particularly interesting because you can see Charley from a "sweeter" point a view since it's not narrated by her. You'll still giggle and get brief sexy appearances from Reyes, but I appreciated the difference in the tone of this short-story, just as much as I appreciate Charley's giant attitude. For all the fans, I bet it won't disappoint you. I admit I'm getting slightly obsessed over Charley's Bugs Bunny comforter.
