Synopsis: Her dad’s job is with the dead . . . and he’s bringing his work home with him.
Once again, seventeen-year-old Riley Smith is the new kid in school and her dad’s career has her back to being dubbed a freak. Truth is, she’s a much bigger freak than her classmates think. The only company she keeps these days is the dead who follow Dad home from work. She can see them. She can speak to them. And Fate seems to think she can help them solve their last problems so that they can move on to the other side. Which is odd, because with the loss of her mother and her father’s alcoholism, she’s got enough problems of her own.
But nothing could prepare her for the next tormented young spirit who darkens Riley’s door. The young woman’s death wasn’t the accident everyone believes. Soon Riley finds herself face-to-face with the killer and her only protection comes in the form of another spirit, Hayden, a boy her age with a heart-melting smile and understanding eyes that make her feel safe. If she can escape becoming the killer’s next victim, Riley knows she’ll have to help Hayden move on too, but what if she can’t let him go?

"Jam-packed with action and romance . . . Hunter's lifelike characters and paranormal creatures populate a plot that will keep you guessing till the very end. A perfect mesh of mystery, thriller, and romance." --Romantic Times on Taken at Dusk
"This series is the perfect blend of eerie paranormal action, drama and plenty of will-they-won't-they scenarios with to-die-for crushes."--RT Book Reviews, 4.5 star review, RT TOP PICK
C.C. Hunter is a master at writing books that will entertain you and "The Mortician's Daughter: One Foot in the Grave" is definitely entertaining.... [It's] a funny, quick read that will appeal to fans of romance and ghost stories who are also looking for a good dose of family drama."--Bickering Books
The rest of the story was spot on and each chapter took us one step closer to Riley figuring out what is going on. I do hope that during this series we find out why she can see the dead since its only been a year since she started seeing them.
I really enjoyed how this one started as well as Riley just being your normal teenager. She has issues with her dad (who I have to say is actually there for the most part), issues with kids at school and then, of course, she can see the dead. But through it all, she is pretty strong. I have to say that she reminds me of Melinda from that old TV show called Ghost Whisper. She deals with the dead on her own terms and speaks with them and helps them.
The romance in this one although there is pretty light compared to other stories. It worked very well and that twist at the end with it felt right as well. At the time that I am writing this, I have already read book two and I will prepare you the ending of that one dealing with this romance is even worse!!
If you are looking for a new paranormal with a little danger and a little romance check this out! But make sure to have book two on hand!
