About this listen
Her dad's job is with the dead...and he's bringing his work home with him.
Once again, 17-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?

One night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever. Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls - a camp for troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear that her fellow campers aren’t just "troubled". Here at Shadow Falls, vampires, werewolves, shapshifters, witches and fairies train side by side - learning to harness their powers, control their magic, and live in the normal world. Kylie’s never felt normal, but surely she doesn’t belong here with a bunch of paranormal freaks either. Or does she?

As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt. When I can't take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don't like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift...a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

Sparrow “Ro” Meadowcroft is about to get the promotion she’s always dreamed of–curator of the museum where she works. She loves old things and the history that surrounds them, so when a patron leaves some items to the museum, Ro is eager to dig in. The sword in the stone that comes with those items is clearly a joke. A well-made but obvious replica meant to be a conversation starter. Why anyone would think that belonged in the museum is beyond her, but she can’t resist taking a crack at it and finding out if she’s the chosen one. And as it turns out...she is.

Pretty good
The story line was pretty good, but I really hated the narrator. She made the main character seem like she was a bitchy punk. It was her tone and inflections.

A YA but Good!
I had been so disgusted because I could not find a good book. Reviewers often like a book, 5 star it, and I’ll get it only to be disappointed. Took a chance on this one and although certainly not an adult book, it was pretty darn good!
The Morticians Daughter is about a teenager who discovers she can see dead people. When she and her father relocate to another town for her fathers new job, she. Gets a visit from a murder victim. Who begs for help in catching her killer. Much more than just that it’s a good story with lots of twists and turns and relationship.
The narrator was very good. I recomend this for YA and adults who want a good lighthearted mystery.

Great story, but the ending…
I really like the characters and the story, but what an abrupt ending. I get that it is a series and you need a cliffhanger, but i felt like it she just stopped writing or that it was going to be one book and she decided to break it into two late in the game.
Still, it was engaging and i will have to keep reading it because i need to know what happens next.

So Good!
This is such a good book and I can't wait to start the next in the series. Riley is a strong young woman who tries so hard to juggle her special abilities, school, and home life. The characters she meets and befriends along the way like Kelsey, Hayden and Jacob will have your heart melting along with hers. This story has a great balance of mystery, drama and romance that kept me hooked from the beginning until the end.
