“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” ~William Shakespeare

Violet Parker knows better than to play with devils. They always cheat, especially when lives are at stake. Deadwood’s charming, troublemaking, and soul-sucking devils are no different, and they’re biting at her heels. But the clock is ticking and Violet has no choice—she must risk her life to save her treasured Aunt Zoe. With any luck, she might be able to trick the devils and beat the old terrors at their own game. If not, Deadwood could end up short one Executioner. “Executioners don't duck, they swing.” ~Violet Parker

Another exciting advernture, but too much bickering

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

When this book gets around to Violet's adventures against the paranormal villains, it's very compelling reading. I was glad to see the conclusion of the story line that has been hanging around for several books now, though it seemed that it was far more possible to vanquish the liderc than we had been led to believe. With that wrapped up, though, several more new story threads emerged, so this series will keep going for a long time to come. We also got some significant character development that was interesting that I will look forward to seeing how it works out in the future, particularly with Cornelius and Prudence.

What bothered me and made me give this a 4 star review was the excessive bickering and sniping going on between Violet and Cooper, Violet and Hawke, Natalie and Hawke, etc. The first third of the book was padded with too much of this inane chatter. I started skipping whole pages because it was just more and more of the same. Is this what is supposed to make this series "humorous"? For me, it just makes it tedious. Ann Charles needs to tighten up the narrative and edit out the excessive and childish blathering. I especially think the way Violet and Cooper continue to trade barbs is too much. I thought they had moved past that.

The other thing I was disappointed in was the way that the relationship between Natalie and Cooper advanced so significantly in a different series! It seems like a blatant and manipulative move to drum up readers for the Jackrabbit Junction series. I read the first three books of that series and really enjoyed the first one, was disappointed with the second, and hated the third so much I decided I was not going to continue with the series. It devolved into just a bunch of women constantly arguing with each other and the men in their lives. The mysteries had become not really mysteries, just tissue thin background noise. So I won't go back to reading these books just to read about Cooper and Natalie hooking up. I will just continue to feel this sense of betrayal.

This book just takes off from page one!

The new year revelry is over and it's time to get back to work in the Black Hills...and time is running out for Violet to take care of one pesky devil in order to keep her beloved Aunt Zoe from the clutches of another. But as the hunt begins a few new twists and turns are thrown at her and her duties as an executioner pile higher.
From page one, this book just takes off and the hits just keep coming. There is enough devilry to keep your heart pumping but handed out with enough humor to tickle your funny bone with some laugh out loud moments, and enough heart to keep those strings strumming. Also, be ready for a few nail-biting and even some "AWW" inspiring moments, and let's not forget the sizzle. This book really does have it all. What a fantastic addition to an already amazing series! And Ann, I sure am glad it's only The End..for now.

Such a good author, she pulls you in!

I just love reading books written by Anne Charles. She reminds me of Janet Evanovich in her style and character descriptions. Anne's book series, Deadwood, makes me laugh out loud and gives me the creeps at the same time. They aren't really horror fiction but more paranormal and just downright fun! #DevilDaysInDeadwood #AnnWCharles

Her main character, Violet, is like many of us. Single mom and working her butt off to take care of her precocious twins. Great, kooky best friend Natalie, and a truly cool and wonderful aunt. I hope my nieces think of me that way! A few hotties are thrown in to make you swoon and of course, the nemeses are always there to get you riled up. Oh, and Violet's cranky, shotgun-toting sidekick is a hoot!.

Her newest book, #11 Devil Days in Deadwood, has just been released. You can find it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple books, and more.

She also has a couple of other series that tie into this series:
Jackrabbit Junction, where you get to meet Natalie's looney cousins;
Dig Site, Violet's brother is an archeologist who seems to find the best, and sometimes the strangest, artifacts on his digs;
Deadwood Undertaker, this is a prequel of sorts to the Deadwood series.

She has another series I haven't read yet, but I'm sure her style will come through and I will love it just the same.

Another page turner!!! I love this series. It is ramping up the pace now and some questions are being addressed. Every time I get a book in this series I’m sad to see it end as I impatiently wait for the next installment. The characters are so fun and likable. Violet has her work cut out for her and roadblocks just keep popping up in her life. ❤️

A Reading the Paranormal Review

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

I honestly have no idea how I keep managing to read this series out of order when I'm actively working on trying to read it IN order, but here we are. Reading this book out of order. (For anybody wondering, this year has been a weird year and I kept figuring I had just forgotten some of the things that were being referenced until I finally went and checked - at about the halfway point of the book - and realized that, yep, I had missed 2 previous books. At that point, I felt pretty committed so I kept on. And then I flipped to those two missed books once I finished this one. Because 2020.)

Anyway. Violet's being her usual offbeat (in a good way), chaotic (also in a good way) self and I still like her even if I'm too addlebrained to read this series in order. She and Doc are pretty tight. Nat and Coop are steaming things up (which is one of the things I missed when I skipped those two books? I guess? I'll know soon enough!). Harvey is...well, Harvey is Harvey and he's a hoot no matter what.

Demons are on the loose (among other things, some of which miiiiight be Violet's fault) and Vi and her crew are on the case. It's never a dull moment with these guys, is it?

Now I'm going to go catch up on this series once and for all and NOT READ THEM OUT OF ORDER ANYMORE. (At this point, I just might have to commit to a full series, in-order read in the near future. Because some things just need to be done.)

Funny, scary, romantic and the right mix of all the genres.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2020

This book came out at midnight. I downloaded and thought "I'll read it tomorrow". I'd finished by 7am this morning.
What I particularly liked with this eleventh book in the Deadwood series was the development of some of the secondary characters, such as Cornelius and Prudence. They became much more three dimensional in this novel, fleshed out and made real in my head. It was wonderful to see how relationships have developed and solidified over time, with friends becoming family.

Particularly good to see the humour, respect and friendship between Violet and Cooper in the moments when they're together. A good continuation of the flirtation between Nat and Cooper too (you need to read book 5 of the Jackrabbit Junction series to find out what happened in Arizona). Cooper may have bitten off more than such a straight laced law dog can chew with Nat.

The resolution to the Hungarian Devil situation was both entertaining and tense; I feel like the author got the balance exactly right in the way things went. Violet's final conclusion was exactly what that storyline needed for everything to feel right.

I love Ann Charles style of writing. She writes with a wonderful mix of humour and paranormal thrills, with the added element of romance. Her characters have become people whose lives I can't wait to catch up on and see what they're up to. I genuinely couldn't put the book down, I kept thinking "one more chapter". For me, that's a sign of a good book.

If you have been with us since the beginning you will know that Violet Parker, newly hired real estate agent, single mum of twins and all around bad ass has moved to Deadwood to start over. Living with her beloved Aunt Zoe, who helps her look after the twins Addy and Layne. Deadwood is a strange place there is a lot of mysterious activity in the area, all of it supernatural and Violet finds herself mixed up to her neck in the troubles. Turns out she’s something called an “Executioner” it’s an hereditary position which means it’s her job to hunt down and kill dangerous supernatural entities. Violet wants no part of this but it turns out she doesn’t have a choice, along for the ride are her good friend Harvey, her lover Doc, friend Natalie, ghost Prudence —— an old Executioner—-and frenemy Detective Cooper. Violet struggles from book to book facing off with whatever monster she inadvertently stumbles across ——— turns out there’s a lot of haunted houses in the Deadwood area ———- Violet is ass deep in alligators and sinking fast, all the while trying to keep her job and family life normal without letting on the crazy situation she’s in. The book is rich in humour some of Violets one liners are hilarious as are the situations she gets into. The characterisations are very well done, the storyline engaging. You are always left wanting more.

The next chapter in Violet's saga. As always I loved the interaction between the characters the action and the storyline were good. The only drawback is that I didn't want it to end. Hurry up and write the next one Ann.
