Brighter Than the Sun

Like Charley Davidson, Cat Crawfield is a snarky, half-supernatural heroine who balances high-stakes action with a passionate, intense romance. Fans will appreciate the witty banter and the 'tough-as-nails' attitude of the protagonist as she navigates a dangerous paranormal world.

This book features a gritty urban setting and a powerful female lead with a sharp tongue and a mysterious past. The slow-burn romantic tension and the intricate magical world-building mirror the depth found in Jones's series.

Alex Craft is a grave witch who can communicate with the dead, drawing a direct parallel to Charley's role as a grim reaper. The blend of police procedural elements with dark paranormal magic creates a familiar and engaging atmosphere.

Mercy Thompson is a resilient, independent protagonist who finds herself at the center of supernatural conflicts. Readers who enjoy the 'found family' aspect and the grounded yet magical tone of Darynda Jones's work will find this highly satisfying.

Featuring a private investigator with unique abilities, this book delivers the same high-octane energy and romantic chemistry as Brighter Than the Sun. The dynamic between the leads is electric, characterized by power struggles and mutual respect.

This series offers a lighter, more humorous take on urban fantasy while maintaining a strong sense of danger and mystery. The protagonist's journey of self-discovery and her integration into a secret society will resonate with Charley Davidson fans.

Set in a small town with a heavy atmosphere, this book mixes mystery and paranormal romance seamlessly. The quirky characters and the 'outsider' perspective of the heroine provide a similar charm to Jones's writing style.

For readers who enjoy the darker, more intense side of Charley’s world, this book offers a high-stakes mystery set in a shadowy version of Dublin. It features an incredibly slow-burn romance and a protagonist who must quickly adapt to survive.

This book features a world where angels and vampires coexist in a complex hierarchy, much like the celestial stakes in Jones's series. The relationship between the hunter and the archangel is both volatile and deeply passionate.

While the protagonist is male, Harry Dresden shares Charley’s snarky narrative voice and penchant for getting into trouble with the supernatural. It’s a perfect match for those who love the 'supernatural detective' trope and fast-paced plotting.
