Mourner for Hire

De: Caitlin Moss

Narrado por: Andi Eloise, Zachary Webber

A romantic comedy about death, forgotten pasts, and unfinished business.

Vada Daughtry is a professional mourner. For a fee, she’ll cry at your funeral, whisper invented memories, and spin tales of heartbreak. It’s a job that keeps her moving—and keeps her past buried.

But when a wrong turn leads her to a roadside bar and a mojito-soaked night with bartender Dominic Dunne, something shifts. Then she vanishes, like she always does.

Nearly a year later, Vada shows up at a funeral… and realizes the deceased is Dominic’s mother.

Now he’s grieving, furious, and stunned to learn Vada’s been left a generous piece of his mother’s estate. He knows what she does for a living. He thinks it’s all a con. Vada wants to slip away quietly—again—but the late Annabelle Dunne has other plans: haunting Vada until she completes a list of posthumous demands, starting with renovating her crumbling seaside cottage.

Drawn back to the coastal town of Shellport, Vada and Dominic are forced to confront the truth—about the past, about each other, and about a ghost of a woman who isn’t done pulling strings.

Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers tension, slow burns, and ghost stories with bite.

MUST LISTEN ROLLERCOSTER!!!

This was my first book by Caitlyn Moss and WOW she did not disappoint that's for sure. From the first paragraph you will be hooked. Narration was SO perfect Zachary Webber is a must listen for me with his sultry voice Andi Eloise is becoming a fan fav for me she pours all her feeling and emotion into everything she reads..Great book will listen to this one again for sure. DONT MISS OUT on this listen and grab it.

So, So Good!

I ❤️ this story SO much! I will definitely have this one on repeat.
The story of Vada our FMC and Dominic, our MMC is a sort of enemies to eventual lovers that is filled with so many layers that captivated me from the get-go. It's a little bit mystery and a little bit self discovery. And a tiny bit woo-woo. 😘
And the narration... Let me tell you! It is absolutely Amazing!! Andi Eloise is fairly new to the scene but she is a Pro, yes with capital "P". She is one to watch for sure!
And what can you say about Zachary Webber/Jacob Morgan, I mean... He is The Best there is and this is one of my top 5 of his, for sure! And I will search out books simply because he is the voice actor.
Get this one!! You will not be sorry!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

An emotional rollercoaster

I think I found my new favorite narration pairing. I love them both separately but together and in duet style?! Yes yes yes - Sooo good!! Andi and Zach absolutely killed this (pun intended). Their performances and voices seriously go so well together that it made this story even more fantastic in audio!

This story will have you feeling all the things. I laughed, cried, and laughed so more. Andi and Zach nailed the range of emotions and banter throughout this. They both had me crying more than once with how much anguish you could hear in their voices. The idea of a mourner for hire is so unique that it made this even more fun to read.

If you’re looking for a book that will have you feeling all of the things but also gives you that cozy small time vibe with some good banter and spice mixed in? This is the next listen for you!

Wow!!

Loved the story but the narrators were amazing. Ive never listed to Andi Eloise but she is on my favorite narrators list now! She was great! I’ve listed to so many Zachary Webber/Jacob Morgan books but this is my favorite yet. His passion in the book was off the chart. I’m not one to cry during books but I felt his pain and sadness several times I caught myself crying. This will most definitely be a reread!!

10 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mourner For Hire by Caitlin Moss is one of those rare books that completely takes you apart, wrings your heart dry, makes you laugh and cry — and somehow puts you back together better than before. I can't accurately explain how much I loved this book. It's a true treasure.

Vada Daughtry is a mourner for hire. People pay her to carry out their final wishes at their funerals — some requests are petty, some are poetic justice, and some are just so they won’t be alone. It's a quietly beautiful and profound job when you think about it: helping someone go out the way they want, with the last word, and the comfort of not being forgotten.

One night, stuck in traffic, Vada stops at a bar on her way into the town where she was born to meet a new client. There she meets Dunner, the owner. They talk all night and share a connection — but nothing more. The next morning, she’s on her way to meet a new client. Fast-forward nine months, and when she shows up at the funeral… Dunner is there. Because he’s the son of the deceased.

That’s all I’ll say about the plot — no spoilers — but know this: the story is full of emotional depth, quiet twists, raw discoveries, heartbreak, and real healing. It explores grief, connection, legacy, and what it means to truly be present for someone — even after they're gone.

Caitlin Moss’s writing is beautiful and deeply human. This book took me on an unforgettable journey, and I loved every single minute of it.
