The first half of this book was a real slow starter for me. The reader is teasted repeatedly about some big secret Brynn ( the bride-to-be) is hiding from her husband-to-be Nathan. A few strange things began to happen. At about the half-way mark, things really got interesting and the last half of the book is a page turner. None of the characters were particularly likeable.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC of this book.

I was truly drawn into Brynn's character, feeling her presence vividly painted by Liz's eloquent descriptions. The beach house, the dress, everything felt palpable, and Brynn came across as remarkably real and relatable.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the writing and the book overall, I did figure things out quite early on, which lessened the impact of the major plot twists for me. The ending left me somewhat undecided, hinting at a potential sequel but deviating from my initial expectations. Nonetheless, I look forward to what lies ahead in the story.

As a fan of wedding tales and their accompanying drama, this story resonated with me perfectly.

Debbie's character was a standout for me. Her wit, dry humor, and sharp insights truly shone in this book.

Gratitude to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy.

This is a novel set in the US, and it read as a decent psychological thriller, good use of smoke and mirrors, and definitely one in which the reader should expect the unexpected!

The plot centres around the forthcoming wedding of Brynn and Nathan. The story is told from the perspective of Brynn. Brynn is alone in the run up to the wedding, as Nathan, a criminal defence lawyer is in the midst of a high profile murder case. A knock at the door marks the arrival of an uninvited guest - mother in law, Debbie. Brynn seems reluctant to share this information with Nathan, we later learn that Nathan does not get on with his mother and has not invited her to the wedding. Meanwhile, someone seems intent on destroying the wedding, as Brynn finds herself the recipient of a threatening note, followed by various other acts of sabotage.

This novel play out in a very unpredictable way, and it is a unique and gratifyingly twisty plot. Overall an enjoyable novel that fans of US psychological fiction would surely enjoy.

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

I could not put this book down! I was turning pages as fast as I could, completely lost in the story. There was so much going on, and so many relationships to be wary of. I was right on some of my guesses, but so much I never saw coming. The ending was a huge cluster f*ck and I loved every minute of the wild wedding scene. I really liked how we got a proper ending and closing scenes with the characters. I can’t wait to dive right into the next book of the series.

Brynn is getting prepared for her wedding to Nathan, although they are estranged from his mother. So she is shocked when Debbie arrives saying she’s there to help with the wedding. Soon everything starts going wrong. Is someone trying to sabotage the big day and was Brynn wrong about everything all along?

This was a mixed bag for me. It took me quite a while to get into the story, as well as the writing style, but once I did it flowed much better and became more of a steady pace. This was definitely a twisty read! Although I guessed one of the main twists, there was one that definitely didn’t. Towards the end it started becoming a bit implausible, however it was entertaining. This is a quick, easy read and there’s a second book coming out in this series, that I would be interested in reading. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy in return for an honest review.

I have not read many of LG Davis titles. This one was pretty good it was kind of slow to start but picked up steam as it went along. I hope the second one in this series answers my questions.

Review of “The Woman at my Wedding” by L.G. Davis. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for a review. This book comes out on June 13th! 🩷

Ohh, I thought I had this one. Thought I saw right through it. Guess what: I, in fact, did not. Some of it I wasn’t too surprised by (which honestly happens when you suspect everyone in a book), but most of it came as a great little plottwist. I had a great time reading this. I loved My Husband’s Secret by this author as well, so I was excited to dive into new work.

Synopsis:
I’ve dreamed of this day forever. But will it be my last?
My stomach flutters with happiness as I try on my wedding dress. In just a few weeks I’m going to marry Nathan, the love of my life, and everything will be perfect.
We are estranged from Nathan’s mother, so I’m shocked when Debbie arrives, suitcase in hand. She says she’s moving in to help with the wedding preparations. But what is she hiding behind her pleasant smile? Is it possible she knows my darkest secret?
As the wedding draws closer, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m in danger. Beautiful cake toppers are delivered to my doorstep, but the bride’s face is smashed in. My veil goes missing, taken from my bedroom overnight. Has someone been inside my home, watching me while I sleep?
I won’t let anyone ruin my perfect day. And yet as I’m walking down the aisle, I find myself scanning my guests’ faces, searching for a woman with hatred in her gaze.
But when I look up, it’s Nathan’s eyes that are cold and strange. Has the man I love realised he knows nothing about me?
Then the terrible truth hits me. I was wrong about everything.
And I think I’m going to pay with my life…

Definitely recommend to anyone who’s in need of a quick thriller with enough twists to keep you on the edge of your seat ✨💛

I loved this book I always enjoy this author’s book but this was my favourite so far. It had me gripped throughout with many twists and turns which I did not see coming the story was definitely a rollercoaster of a read. It was full of lies, secrets and deceit I could not figure who was trying to ruin Brynn’s wedding and life and when I did find out wow what a jaw dropping moment that was. This had what I love about thrillers suspense throughout with many twists and turns. I will definitely be recommending this to everyone. Fantastic thriller thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy of this gripping book.

Oh I just loved this book, it was really addictive and a great holiday read. I just kept reading as I really wanted to find out what happened. Then to make it even better there is another book in the series - that is this weekend's read.

Yes the plot means that you have to suspend belief but that is the great thing about escaping into a book. The tension of the wedding background worked really well.

Thoroughly enjoyed it as I didn't know what was happening. The title makes perfect sense

⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Woman at My Wedding by L.G. Davis in nicely built psychological thriller with some good twists and sharp-turn at the end. And before the sharp-turn I literally thought that I would love to have a next book to enjoy the other side of Brynn. So acknowledgement that there is next book made me really happy!

I really liked the story and story line. Some parts clicked with me some not but in general I absolutely enjoyed this book!

In 30 day time Brynn and Nathan are getting married! It will be their dream wedding! Everything is perfect until is not. Peace by peace things falls apart, but they managing to find solutions. Everyone has hidden agenda and secrets they don't want to share - just yet. But what will happen when truth comes out?

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for this copy! Cant wait to dive in to the next book!

"The Woman at My Wedding" by L.G. Davis is a gripping and suspenseful psychological thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. The story follows the protagonist as she prepares for her upcoming wedding to Nathan, the love of her life, only to find herself caught in a web of secrets, lies, and betrayal.

Davis's writing is fast-paced and immersive, drawing readers into the protagonist's world of mounting paranoia and fear. The tension builds steadily as mysterious events begin to unfold, leaving the protagonist questioning her own sanity and the motives of those around her. The twists and turns of the plot keep readers guessing until the final shocking reveal.

One of the novel's strengths lies in its well-drawn characters, particularly the protagonist, whose vulnerability and determination to uncover the truth make her a compelling and relatable heroine. The supporting cast, including Nathan and his mother Debbie, are equally complex and intriguing, adding layers of depth to the story.

"The Woman at My Wedding" is a pulse-pounding thriller that will appeal to fans of the genre. With its gripping storyline, spine-chilling twists, and unforgettable characters, L.G. Davis has crafted a suspenseful tale that will leave readers breathless until the very last page.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for an advanced copy to review for my honest opinion.

Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for an early copy of The Woman at My Wedding. I Loved the Nanny series and I was so looking forward to this series but it was a disappointment!!!! I kept with it hoping it would get better but it didn't, and now I am going to read the sequel to see if that will make up for this one. The conversations were childish and not believable and one of the biggest questions I had was Why did Brynn NOT tell Nathan about his mom???? Of course it all comes together at the end but I would consider this a young adult read.

This book had so many possible suspects and I loved the way it kept me guessing the whole time! The ending took a crazy twist I did not see coming; however it was a little chaotic and far fetched. But it definitely kept me entertained, and left me wanting to continue on to the next book!

Thank you #netgalley and #bookouture for allowing me to read this ARC!

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC!

I thought I knew who the stalker was and that she was attempting to ruin Brynn's well-organized wedding. I was so, so wrong! The plot took several unexpected turns, and it appeared that each participant had a backstory and a motivation to prevent the wedding from taking place. I adored how the writer connected all of the characters and tied the plot together with a ton of amazing twists and turns! I read this book in a single day and really loved it!
