I love Darynda Jones’s writing style and her ways with words. She is truly a gifted writer that not only allows the readers to escape into the world she has created but she has you falling for all the characters! I also love that Lorelei King is the narrator for this series. She brings an additional dimension to each of the character and breathes life into them.With all that said, it’s extremely important for the readers of BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN to know that this is an extremely dark novella. In fact, upon receiving the book to review, I also received the warning that it was much darker than any of the previous books in the series. Also, there seems to be a misconception that it’s ‘dark’ because he’s the ‘son of Satan’ but that’s not the case. For those that have read the series, remember that his lineage is one thing, but he makes a conscientious decision to love and protect Charley and he creates the plan where he can be with Charley. Sadly, things don’t work out the way he planned. Unfortunately, we (readers of the series) already know some of the monstrosities that Reyes endured as a child. This is in Reyes’s POV and it’s his story.I’ve always wanted to know more about how Reyes and his past and now we get to learn this and much more. We meet him as a child and get his perspective of events that occurred to him as a child, teenager, and then adult. We learn how he first meets Charley and his thoughts on things. We also get to see Reyes fall in love with Charley. We see Charley through his eyes! We also learn some of the tragedies and heartaches she’s been through. Readers get to see and know the reason he is the way he is. It was heartbreaking to listen/read Reyes go through things no child/person should ever have to go through. Darynda glosses over things but does a phenomenal job of making an emotional impact on the reader without the details.When I first learned that the novella was going to be in audio book format I was extremely happy and on pins and needles waiting to see if the publisher would select a new narrator, a male, since this is from Reyes’s POV or if they would keep Lorelei. Personally, I wanted them to keep Lorelei! I believe she is a great narrator and does a beautiful job with the series and each of the characters. I couldn’t image anyone else as Reyes. With such a sensitive topic as Reyes’s past, I also didn’t want someone new to the ‘family’ if you can understand that. Lorelei does an amazing job with BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN!The readers will love this addition to the series and it was great to see Reyes’s love for Charley and get to see a different side of Reyes we haven’t seen until now. We saw how much of an awesome friend he is and a loving brother as well. And how much of a survivor he is as well. Again, readers will need to be prepared for this isn’t like the other books, it’s much darker and you may even need tissues.

We've seen little glimpses here and there over the course of the past eight books. But there is knowing, and there is knowing. This novella doesn't wallow in his misery, but any story about Reyes and his life is going to be tough. And believe me, it is.Basically, the story begins with Reyes as a child, as he remembers the first time he laid eyes on Charley. It follows him as he grows, juxtaposing the horrors of his real life, with the escape she brings him. It's heartbreaking to see her as a fantasy in his eyes. A small slice of beauty that is so foreign to his existence that he is convinced he made her up.We go through all the major benchmarks we know through the other books, but peppered in are these casual reminders of rapes and torture Reyes had to endure for more than a decade. While I appreciate that Darynda Jones never details these events, it's so bleak how Reyes must accept such atrocities as a fact of his life. Drugged violations, beatings, broken bones... they simply are. And then, for him to trade his ability to fight to protect his sister, it's just so dark.There is none of the Charley Davidson snark. No laughs. Just Reyes' stark reality. Except for his moments with Dutch. It gives an even deeper layer to the love he has shown for her. And it explains so much of his reservations. It makes me yearn harder than ever for their happily ever after, and dread the misery he is sure to be feeling at the beginning of the next book.This story takes us up through the timeline of Reyes and Charley meeting in the flesh. I wouldn't recommend this to a reader unfamiliar with the series. This is no place to start, as it is full of spoilers and displays a tone that is a polar opposite from the rest of the books. But for fans, as dark as it is, I can't imagine you would want to miss this peek behind the curtain for this enigmatic character. It's not easy reading, but it's worth it.Rating: B+

Raffel My head and my heart are reeling right now from this excruciatingly powerful addition to the Charley Davidson series. Darynda Jones often has us laughing, angsting and even crying over the antics of the lovable and zany heroine Charley Davidson. The handsome, powerful and mysterious son of Satan Reyes Alexander Farrow has his day in this book told from his POV. The emotional impact of this book cannot be stressed enough. At times almost painful to read, anyone who has come to love these characters will find their heart broken again and again as the truth behind the life of Reyes is revealed. I am going to go out on a limb and say that this is Ms. Jones's greatest work thus far. If you're afraid of an ugly cry then this may not work for you.You do not have to have read up through Eighth Grave to read this. It would be appropriate to read this any time after First Grave, though I would personally recommend reading several of the Graves before reading this only because you'd have a greater appreciation for the character of Reyes before sailing on this dark and revealing voyage.
