5 out of 5 stars
Dr. Tori Taylor is cold, abrupt, and has no tolerance for incompetence.
She has little need for anyone but her
patients. But that’s all about to
change. After undergoing a heart
transplant, Tori realizes, with chilling regret, she has no friends among her colleagues. Alone in her recovery, Tori begins to have nightmares
that feel all too real. She also experiences
a change in her emotions. Never the expressive,
touchy-feely type, Tori now finds herself crying all the time, and needing the physical
touch of others. When she realizes the
hospital she works at has put her on administrative leave because of her
intolerant behavior, she has no recourse but to apologize to the nursing staff
and undergo counseling. Those are the
least of her worries. Tori is convinced the
nightmares she’s having are events in the life of her donor. Tragic events. So she begins to investigate. Soon Tori becomes the hunted. With the help of Phin, her counselor, she
begins to unravel the events leading up to her donor’s death.
A HEARTBEAT AWAY was captivating! Though Tori is a complete pain in the butt,
she becomes a character you empathize with and only want the best for her. Her relationship with Phin is unique and
endearing and just what Tori needs. The
storyline is a bit twisted but believable, especially since Harry Kraus is a
doctor. The flow of the book is unique
since Kraus highlight’s several characters that could be Tori’s donor, keeping
the reader guessing until the end. A fascinating
read I would highly recommend.
