Publisher's summary

Planning the perfect wedding can be stressful, even for a seasoned witch. But for a newbie like Leigh Epstein and her coven of zany BFFs, it's more like running a 100-yard dash through a minefield as they prepare for the ultimate paranormal wedding.

Leigh takes a break from writing her latest paranormal romance novel, Shifty Blades of Fae, when her friends take her out for a night of shameless depravity filled with witch's brew, shape-shifting strippers, and unfortunately, arrest warrants - aka her bachelorette party. The gang soon finds out they are once again up to their necks in another mystery.

Join these hapless witches as they confront Voodoo practitioners, faeries, selkies, demons, ghosts, dragons, and more. The witches even run into the washed up heavy metal band, Twisted Shifter, as they mount a comeback. It's a journey fraught with hilarious disaster at every turn. In this wedding gone wild, will Leigh finally get to say "I do"?

Hysterical Mysterious Fun!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Between Melanie James writing and Hollie Jackson narrating, this audiobook had me rolling in laughter as the scenes played out. I Love It!!!

The narrator did a phenomenal job of bring the plethora of awesome characters to life. Way to go! To be able to switch back and forth between them without flaw, is remarkable.

This is the first Literal Leigh book I have read or listened to, and it most certainly will not be the last. Well written, easy to follow, chock full of hysterical banter between the characters, mysterious and humerous scenes, and steamy sensuality puts this story in my favorites of all time.

I don't use spoilers in my reviews as it may ruin a book for others. I will just say that if you want to get a real laugh, explore and enjoy this read.

Great Book!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the first book in the Literal Leigh Marriage Diaries by Melanie James and narrated by Hollie Jackson. This book can be listened to in one sitting if you have the time, once I started listening to it I didn’t want to put it down until the end. Leigh Epstein is trying to plan the perfect wedding but it is very stressful even for a witch. Her friends planned a bachelorette party for her and they want it to be memorable. If you are looking for a great book that will keep you laughing then you need to read this book.

The narrator Hollie Jackson did a great job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to in one sitting and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.

If you are looking for a great book with great characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

I love Melanie James!!! Laugh so much my face hurt.

I absolutely love this book and Melanie James. I have never laughed so hard I actually woke my husband up. The characters are awesome...Leigh and Hunter are getting married so the families come to help with the wedding plans. Hollie Jackson narrating makes the story come alive and you can picture it like a movie. This is a must listen or read book, if you are looking for a fun enjoyable book here it is. I can't wait for the next book.

Leigh and crew are hilarious

So funny and loved the narrator! I will definitely read/listen to this author again and again.

Fantastic story!

This story is well written and narrated. I found the story to be extremely entertaining and laugh out loud funny. I have to say I listen to the story while I was shopping. I kept getting funny looks from people as I shop because it had me laughing and making comments.
The narrator does a fantastic job with the characters and voices of characters making it easy to distinguish between the characters. She does fabulous voices.
I definitely recommend this audiobook !!

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Laugh till you CRY!

I received the audio version in exchange for an honest review..
Now that that is all out of the way…. This is a first for me by this author where have I been living!!!
I FREAKING loved this book. Not only is it well written, but the narrator was awesome a joy to listen to. I am not blowing smoke either. You feel a part of all the craziness these guys get in to.
I love how funny and witty the characters are. Without it feeling like they are trying to hard to be funny or witty. Melanie’s book is seamless easy to listen to, has me laughing to the point of crying. I find myself repeating some of the one liners!
This is also a first witch book for me, but not a first paranormal by any means. It will not be the last that is for sure.
Pretty much if something could go wrong it did. Leigh rolls with the flow and takes it like a champ. She doesn’t let it her get her down oh no. She not only goes with it but she does it with humor and grace.
Examples – Cats that carry scrolls, giant Roosters, invisibility cream, witches brew, insta’men. What a hoot.
Hunter holy moly I want to lick the man. The way everyone… I mean everyone talks about him in the book I swear he can be my newest and only book boyfriend… well until I read something new lol.
He is perfect for Leigh; he goes with the flow and is there for her when she needs him. Even if he is not comfortable with a lot of what happens. You know he loves this woman to the end of the earth to put up with some of the things they get in to. But isn’t that what love is all about.
“That’s what he said.” Oh my god I don’t want to give anything away but let’s just say that was so freaking hilarious; you will be in stitches.
The chicken when you come to this part of the story and the 911 call, I seriously had tears rolling down my face I laughed so hard.
All the shenanigans that go on in this book is just that, awesome and totally a book I want to be in and re read again and again.
“Nearly fool proof…. Nearly” Oh lordy be… what a hoot!!
