“The dead carry their secrets with them…
At least until they end up at Riley Smith’s door. Her latest spectral visitor is a murdered bride with a need for revenge, and not necessarily for the person who killed her. Never mind that killer is about to strike again. Riley’s determined to help, but is missing Hayden, the hot, ghostly boy who’s always had her back.
Living, breathing Hayden is awake, which means his spirit isn’t around to flirt with Riley anymore. Worse yet, the “real” Hayden doesn’t remember her. Their connection had been so strong. Did his feelings for Riley just disappear into the ether?
As Riley gets closer to finding the bride’s killer, other secrets are revealed: secrets that changes everything Riley thought she knew about her parents. But before she can completely unravel the mystery of her past, Riley will need to escape the murderer that threatens her future.”
This is the third and final book in The Mortician’s Daughter series. I enjoyed it and thought it did a good job of tying up the series. This has been an engaging and well done paranormal YA series that I have really enjoyed.
Riley is dealing with a lot right now. Her boyfriend can’t remember who she is, her dad’s drinking is worse than ever, and a ghost in a bloody wedding dress is haunting her for help. There is a ton of personal drama in this book and all of it leads to Riley unraveling some huge secrets about her own past.
This book was very engaging and easy to read. I enjoyed how all the different elements of the story came together in the end.
Overall I enjoyed this whole series. I would recommend to those who enjoy a good YA paranormal read with a lot of ghosts and mystery in it. I plan on checking out more of C.C. Hunter’s books in the future.
