Riley has accepted that her special gift is to help dead people with their unfinished business. But she never thought she’d be tasked with helping the spirit of a convicted criminal who died in prison. He may lead her on the scariest mission yet, but helping him could mean saving the life of a child. The convict’s daughter needs a liver transplant and the one person who could still be a match is his brother…who also happens to be a gang leader.
Hayden’s not happy that Riley’s discovered who he is and is seeing him sick and unconscious in his hospital bed. This feels like as good a time as ever to cross over and put all of them out of their misery….but Riley is in danger. She’s visiting some of the most dangerous spots and confronting some of the creepiest low-lifes in town. For her, he’ll need to regain his strength and fight to keep her safe.
But dealing with other people’s problems still can’t keep Riley from her own. Her dad’s drinking has gotten worse. And she’ll soon learn it’s because he’s been keeping a huge, horrible secret that will change everything she believes about her family and her mother’s death.
My Review: Well....Well....Well.... I'm not sure if I'm more upset about the HUGE Cliffhanger or that I don't have the next book in my hands already...
Anyway...
Riley is still hoping Hayden will come back. She needs him to come back. In the meantime, the prison ghost guy is still around and needs her help. She's a little hesitant right now, given the fact that the last ghost lead her to a dangerous man. But this ghost needs Riley to help him and Fast.
Riley now knowing who Hayden is, she finds him and goes to visit him daily at the hospital. Hoping he will wake up. Hoping he will do what she says and fights to live. He eventually shows up and isn't too thrilled with Riley right now. He doesn't want her to see him that way. But they car for each other too much and staying away isn't the answer. So Hayden stays, he joins her on these dangerous tasks for the other ghost and fights to wake up.
Now prison ghost guy is giving her information in hopes to find his brother. His brother is all the hope he has left. His brother needs to save his little girl before it's too late. Go through their past to find his brother is dangerous, mostly because they learn he is the leader of a horrible gang. But true to her word, Riley tries her best to get in contact with him. Dealing with a few creeps in between, she finally gets a meeting. It takes more than one chat to convince him that he is the only one who can save his niece from dying. This is the favor he owes to his brother.
On top of ghosts, boy drama, school, drug planting in her locker, Riley still has other big things on her plate. Her best friend Kelsey wants to know what shes hiding. Her dad won't stop drinking. She wants to know more about her mom. Safe to say that Riley's plate is full. And just as everything wraps up in the end, a new ghosts appears. She can tell Riley about her mom...and then BAM! ALL DONE. Yes, that kind of cliffhanger....I so cannot wait to get my hands on the next book!!!!! C.C. Hunter has never ever failed to amaze me with her books.
