I want to start by saying that I am very happy that we are getting more stories in the Charley Davidson series but the novellas are just too short. It ends when it's starting to get good. I love being reunited and seeing what my favorite characters are up to, but I need more! Garrett, Quentin & Amber, and Donovan deserve to be the main characters in their own full-length novel. There is just so much more material and trying to tell a story in 100+ pages just isn't enough.

I liked The Graveside Bar and Grill but didn't love it as much as I did the previous novellas. This book especially felt very rushed and the characters and I just didn't have time to connect and grow. I was absolutely intrigued by Sia, and I would love to learn more about her. Her connection to Donovan felt very sudden. This novella gave me a little taste and left me wanting more. I am really hoping that we'll get full-length novels in the spinoff series. I just can't wait to be fully immersed in the amazing world Darynda has created.
