Summary

When a vampire marries a human, things are bound to get messy...

Nothing ruins a rehearsal dinner quite like a passive-aggressive toast from the unhappy mother of the groom. Things go from bad to yikes when she's found reduced to a pile of ashes and couture and the bride is pegged as the one wielding the wooden stake.

After years spent working the birthday party and baby shower circuit, Anastasia Winters finally has a corner office and a host of supernatural clients all begging her to plan their special day. But following a brush of bad luck, she finds herself on the brink of losing it all. With an ultimatum from her boss on the table, she knows her next wedding has to be perfect.

When the vampy mother of the groom is found dead, the bride goes on the run, and Anastasia is forced head-first into the murder investigation if she has any chance of getting the wedding back on track and keeping her job.

Unfortunately, this is one wedding crisis that requires more than a strategically placed bobby pin or double-sided sticky tape.

Can there be a fairy tale ending, or will it be Happily Ever Never?

very good listening

I really like this, but the story is a mesh of others except the ending. hopefully it will continue and become more detailed and more stand alone.

Easy short listen

I’ve read this authors books before and enjoyed them. This shorter book was an included title and is a light cosy witch murder story. No surprises but still enjoyable.

Light murder mystery novella

This was a light hearted,murder mystery romance with plenty of magic, paranormal and drama.
Our witch wedding planner finds herself in a pickle when the horrid mother of the groom is found in ashes and her bride is the main suspect. I totally didn't call it right 😩😢 I really thought the murderer was someone else entirely.
Free on KU and plus catalogue audible too.
Good narration.

Weddings can be murder

I don't normally like vampire stories because they just creep me out but I have listened to a number of books by this author and really enjoyed them, so thought I would give this series ago too. So glad I did, as I really enjoyed it, in fact I was on to the next book before writing my review. This author has the magic touch and no matter what series, plot line or characters she writes about I just seem to love it and can't get enough. The characters are so well developed and like able that it is a joy to spend time with. No point in the story did I wish the author would stop developing the characters and just get back to the mystery because it's all blended nicely together to keep it entertaining. The mystery is well thought out and keeps you hooked until the end. A nice series set around a wedding planner, which means plenty of opportunities for a murder to investigate and I can't wait.
Anastasia has the wedding of the century to plan and pull off without a hitch or it will be her job. Unfortunately nobody told a killer this. Keeping a vampire groom and human bride happy was the easy part, dealing with the groom's mother who didn't want the wedding in the first place, is something else. Then during the rehearsal dinner the groom's mother gets stacked after a threatening toast to the bride and groom and the police think the bride did it. Anastasia goes from planning the wedding to finding a killer, all to keep the wedding on track and make sure she still has a job at the end of the mess.
I like the narrator. She uses her own magic to not only make the characters come to life but make it as entertaining as possible.

Sadly predictable


If you think you can tell how it's going to end, you're probably right,

It wasn't AWFUL, but I found it disappointingly predictable.
