Review: Three Heartbeats Away - C.C Hunter

Review: Three Heartbeats Away - Book #3 The Mortician's Daughter - C.C Hunter - June 2019

At the end of Book #2, Two Feet Under we read as Hayden/Carter to his friends had just woken up from his coma.  In the room are Brandy, Jacob, and Riley. The thing is though as he wakes up - he kisses Brandy as we learn that they had been going out for about two months before the accident and he has no recollection of who Riley is. She is heartbroken and heads home and cries with her ice-cream punnets. During this first instance, she is visited by a murdered ghost - a woman in a wedding dress with a knife sticking out of her stomach. The bride tells Riley that her mother is responsible for her murder, how can that be though as her mother supposedly died when Riley was four and this bride's ghost is fresh. Three Heartbeats Away focuses on a few different storylines including Riley discovering the truth about her mother and the fact that her father lied to her all her life, we then have Kelsey's issue when her mother ends up in hospital after her new boyfriend Carl bet her up and this leads into a potential tragedy when Carl faces Kelsey, Riley, and Dex with a loaded gun, we then have Riley and Hayden trying to figure things out as Hayden is having memories of Riley but how can that be especially since he has been in a coma. The last storyline is the Bride as Riley pairs up with Hayden like old times to try and discover who killed Shane and stop from someone else being killed.  I have enjoyed this series and if you are a fan of shows like The Ghost Whisperer starring Jennifer Love Hewitt you will love CC Hunter's series "The Mortician's Daughter".
