Publisher's 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?

Fun and Easy Book

Simple but creative storyline. I was looking for a book that I didn't have to give alot of deep thought to. This was a fun and easy book to just sit back and enjoy.

GREAT NEW PARANORMAL COZY SERIES

AS WITH HER OTHER SERIES, DANIELLE GARRETT HAS CREATED A GREAT CAST OF CHARACTERS WITH SOME PROMISING ADVENTURES TO COME. AS FOR THIS FIRST OUTING, IT HAD THE REQUISITE PROMISE OF ROMANCE, MURDER, AND MAYHEM BUT WITH THAT ADDED DOSE OF FUN CHARACTERISTIC OF MS. GARRETT. I RECOMMEND THIS NEW SERIES AND HOPE THE NEXT BOOK IS NOT FAR BEHIND.

ENTERTAINING ACTION WEDDING MYSTERY

ENTERTAINING ACTION WEDDING MYSTERY, add to that vampires, humans, witches, the cops and a few shifters, stir the mix with hostility and hidden agendas and you have great story narrated perfectly to suit everybody. RECOMMENDED

this book made me smile and laugh...

I really enjoy these light hearted mysteries with supernatural characters. I like the story and Amanda Ronconi never disappoints.

ok. Not my favorite but not bad.

Having read over 10 books in the Beechwood series I found this spinoff a bit lacking. I am not a fan of the FMC, Anastasia. I don't like how she treats people and disappointed that a 30something is still throwing teenage-like temper tantrums. I found some parts confusing and had to replay to figure out who the author was taking about. I believe much of this confusion was due to the character naming. The 2 female main characters are Anna and Alice. Why both As? Also sometimes Anna is referred to as Stacy which really messed with my head. Then Anna's sister is named Harmony but so is Alice's. Then out of the blue a Hannah character is referred to in just one of the last scenes. Yikes. The mystery was ok but terribly predictable on the Who Done It. There was also some conflicting info about Vampires between the Beechwood books and this series. That really should have been teased out in edits. However, My favorite part, that salvaged the book for me, was the interaction between Anna,the FMC and Caleb, the MMC. It felt real and bordering on a buddng romance in the works.
Great narration as usual.

Very nice story

Really good story. it flowed very well and the characters were engaging. I've listened to this narrator before and I truly do like the way she handles a story. I make it a habit of looking for other books she's narrated.

Cute, clean magical cozy

Short, light enjoyable book. I like the author's other series. This is in the same world. This is a light cozy mystery set in a paranormal world. The narrator is good. The audio is under 5 hours. The mc is a wedding planner. There is a death at the rehearsal dinner of a high profile wedding. I liked the characters. The story is not as developed as the Holly Boldt series.

Suspenseful

An intensely suspenseful, entertaining and highly enjoyable story. I enjoyed everything about this story.
Amanda Ronconi did a fantastic job brining this story to life.

If that was supposed to be scary it wasn't.

I actually enjoyed it. It was a good story. Something different. And of course the narration was really very well done.
