FOUR AUNTIES AND A WEDDING



SYNOPSIS

It’s supposed to be the perfect day…

After getting away with literal murder, Meddy can’t wait to settle down and marry the love of her life, Nathan. She’s found the dress, got the dream venue at Christ Church College, Oxford, plus having a destination wedding comes with the added bonus of not having to invite her very large extended family.

…But is it even a wedding if nobody gets killed?

Although when her meddling aunties get involved, Meddy knows her wedding is going to be anything but quiet. Even though there’s no dead body hidden in the freezer this time, for better or worse, it’s certainly going to be a day she’s never going to forget…

REVIEW

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

Dial A for aunties was one of my favorite reads last year so when my ARC request of Four aunties and a wedding was approved I jumped with glee (and gave a little squeal!). I could not wait to meet again the Chans in one of their over the top adventures and it did not disappoint.

All the charm and madness that made me fall in love with these characters in the first book is back to the nth. Some will say that some of their antics are a bit ridiculous and exaggerated but that’s exactly what I love about this series. 

Meddy and Nathan’s wedding is coming up and right from the start laughs are guaranteed. From the wedding dress selection (who wouldn’t like a Komodo dragon fascinator?) to the aunties efforts to fit in with Nathan’s family and their use of British slang (seriously, I think I peed on myself a little with this 😂), the wedding had disaster written all over it. Enter the Mafia and the aunties attempts to prevent an assassination and chaos in ensured!

There are lots of humorous moments but also emotional ones. I love the message it conveys of embracing your own family, culture and roots. Sometimes they may not fit in, or embarras you, but at the end of the day family is always gonna be there for you, to pick you up on the bad moments, cheer on the good ones and even to help you dispose of a body (see book 1).

As both books in the series were focused around weddings, some of the situations described felt a bit repetitive, but they were still so much fun to read. 

The ending took a direction I didn’t see coming and the unexpectedness of it made me like it so much more.

At the end there’s a hint of travel plans for the new couple and the aunties, and I’m dying to read how the aunties do on their home turf.

If you loved Dial A for aunties you’re gonna love this one, and if you haven’t read it yet…what are you waiting for?

Thanks to NetGalley and HQ for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

A ROYAL MURDER

One-time adventurer and now amateur sleuth Lady Eleanor Swift is attending the annual royal regatta with her new pal Tipsy Fitzroy. Tipsy has Eleanor trussed up like a debutante in a new dress, determined to turn her into a proper society lady. Even Eleanor’s favourite companion, Gladstone the bulldog, has a new outfit for the occasion. But the sparkling prize-giving ceremony is interrupted when the devilishly handsome host gulps his glass of champagne on stage and collapses to the floor. The victim is none other than the king’s cousin, Lord Xander Taylor-Howard. He was rumoured to be entangled in a rather dubious gambling ring, but did someone kill him instead of collecting his debt?
