Wedding Plans

I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the previous ones in this series. It was a bit slow to get going, then about midway through it ramped up into the book I was expecting. I don’t mind when a book in a series has a different pace to the others because it is part of an overall arc, not just within a single book. However, I think the problem I had was that Inez seems to place so little value on her own happiness. I’m pretty sure, knowing this author, that will change in future books, but it made it much less enjoyable to me whilst reading *this* book.

This book revolves around throwing an epic wedding party for Inez and Kristoff and Cerdic. The central part of the coven castle is built and the tree needs feeding, so they decided that they would do that when the wedding vows were said. Then more experienced vampires suggested that a party to celebrate the vows was the thing to do and it just gets massively out of hand.

So we get a lot about catering, dresses and flowers etc. There is also the bachelor and bachelorette parties and of course the uninvited guests.

There are multiple POV in the book and not always from the main characters which actually made it much more interesting to me. It shows some of the action, but from the outside. There are also flashbacks that reveal information that isn’t evident on the first pass through, which is appreciated so it doesn’t look like Inez is magically all knowing.

I really want to know that happens next because Inez has a lot of balls up in the air by the end of this book, and I want to see if she manages to catch them all.
