Third Grave Dead Ahead

So after 3 books in this series, here's what I've learned.

I adore Charley. Her sarcasm, stubbornness, humor and general bad ass-ness. Oh yeah and her pop culture references.
Cookie (and Amber by extension) is fabulous.
Uncle Bob, while at times irritating, is awesome.
As is Garrett, who more often than not deals with Charley's barrel of crazy with an eye roll or shrug. (his top five list of things not to say to the grim reaper was fantastically awful)
I even like Donovan the guy from the biker gang. (Hello? He was upset about Artemis, the dog. I was required to like him because of that)

The B plot was fun and not a completely by the numbers missing person mystery. It mostly kept me entertained.

My problem? I don't particularly like Reyes. Which is a little bit of a problem considering he's pretty essential to the over-arching plot in this series. I know, I know. I'm probably 1 of like 10 people with this issue. The thing is I can't quite pinpoint what exactly pushes him into the not liked column. Maybe it's the over all vagueness, even when he speaks. Or the sudden about face with regard to proving his innocence (that plot development felt a little too much like Ms. Jones picking up the Deus Ex Machina card). It's not enough to make me stop reading the series, though it does make me sometimes wonder if I'll make it to the end of the series.
