I was interested to read this as compared to a modern Four Weddings and a Funeral - I thought that was not that long ago until I realised the film was release 31 years ago!!

So thank you to NetGalley for letting me review this fun story.

This story focuses on 6 friends university friends, and where the story begins then moving on some 20 years to the present day. Each of the 6 friends has a story to tell  and some had stayed in touch more than others. Then they reunite to celebrate an engagement for one of the friends.

This is a light hearted book with real characters we can all relate to.

Recommended summer read due for publication Jun 12 2025.  

 

I loved the Romanian folklore and  the historical setting of the small rural village. 

There are gothic and scary threads throughout this story as a young woman is intent on bringing her the soul of her sister from the underworld and a vampire to guide her.

This was a interesting slant on vampires and gothic themes and interesting that there was no chapters but five sections again different.

Scary and quite a sad story so get the tissues out. 

Recommended read due for publication May 8th 2025. 

 

I was excited to read this from NetGalley. I have not read any of this series but have watched the tv adaptations with Lesley Manville. 

This was a great addition to the book series. The author has created great characters  with murder, mystery and good twists thrown into the mix
