Thank you for stopping by I'm delighted to be sharing my review for The Haunting of Hattie Hastings - Part Three by Audrey Davis on Publication Day! Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for the invite.
First of all though let's take a look at the description for the book...
Nothing lasts forever
…
Gary’s time on earth seems to be coming to an end. His visits are less
frequent and his visibility is fading fast. But he still has a mission to
accomplish, which involves Hattie and her ability to pass on a heart-rending
message.
Best friend Cat’s ex-husband is determined to prove that he
deserves another chance, but do leopards really change their spots?
Times are tough for Hattie’s mother Rachel, but where
there’s life, there’s hope …
Meanwhile, is there someone already in Hattie’s life who can
help her move on when it’s finally time to say goodbye?
Get your tissues at the ready – both for laughter and tears
– with the final instalment of a trilogy that has been hailed ‘brilliant’, ‘hilarious’,
and ‘a great feel-good read’.

This series has been such a wonderful set of books to read with a wonderful balance of humour and emotional moments throughout. Audrey Davis has a witty writing style that either had me smiling or giggling away which was so perfect to offset any tears and I'll be honest there were tears!
With it being a series I would suggest reading in order as you may not understand everything that has happened especially as they end on cliffhangers. Even though you might think this story would be one that would bring tears to your eyes all the way through there is so much more to this book. I found it to be such a hopeful and uplifting reading experience.
The characters are so likeable and really make this story especially as by part three you feel as if you are catching up with friends. Each part is the perfect length to pass a few hours and I finished this book in no time as I just had to know how it would all end!
A ghost story with a wonderful twist of humour, emotion and warmth!
With thanks to Rachel at Rachel's Random Resources for my copy.

Audrey Davis
survived secondary school on the West coast of Scotland. Rubbish at science but
not too bad at English, she originally wanted to be an actress but was
persuaded that journalism was a safer option. Probably wise. She studied at
Napier College in Edinburgh, the only place in Scotland at that time to offer a
journalism course.
Her first foray into the hard-nosed newspaper world was as a junior reporter in
Dumfriesshire. Duties included interviewing farmers about the prize-winning
heifers to reporting on family tragedies. She persuaded her editor to let her
launch an entertainment column which meant meeting the odd celebrity – or just
the downright odd. From there, she moved to the loftier rank of senior reporter
back in her home patch. Slightly more money, fewer farm animals but a higher
crime rate. As Taggart would say: 'There's been a murrrrder!'
After a stint in London on a video magazine – yes, she is that old – Audrey
moved to Singapore with her fiancé. She tried valiantly to embrace the stinking
heat, humidity and lack of jobs, although she did work briefly on a magazine
which was banned by the government for 'artistic' use of naked men's bottoms.
Next on her adventures was a land Down Under where her main focus was raising
Cost Centre One (aka firstborn) and coming to terms with the imminent arrival
of Number Two. Still, she loved the Aussie way of life – BBQs, beaches and
bring your own booze to restaurants – so it came as a blow when OH announced a
move back to the UK. Not a job between them, the climate a possible deal
breaker and an Exorcist-style vomiting infant on the flight home didn't bode
well …
Always a survivor, Audrey sought out similar-minded friends (i.e. slightly
bonkers), got the children into a good school and thought about taking up
writing again. Sadly, thinking about it was as far as she got, unless you count
shopping lists. Then, hubby drops another bombshell. Switzerland. As in – it's
packing time again. Off to the land of cheese, chocolate, scarily efficient
trains and a couple of teeny, tiny issues. Like driving on the 'wrong' side of
the road and speaking a foreign language (French). The former was conquered
fairly quickly (we'll skip over the wall demolition in week two), the latter
remains an ongoing battle of the hopeful against the hopeless. At least she
provides amusement for the local workforce.
It wasn't until 2016 that Audrey rediscovered her writing mojo with an online
Writing Fiction course. From there, her first novel – A Clean Sweep – was born,
although it took a bit longer than nine months from conception. A short, darker
prequel – A Clean Break – followed, and in November 2017 she published the
first in a novella trilogy, The Haunting of Hattie Hastings Part One. Part Two
is published on 21 March 2018, with the conclusion following in July. After
which she might have a wee lie down …
