About this ebook

'Dounaeva packs a punch in this small package. Well done.'

'Isabel is great at making the most of a bad situation.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Bridezilla came to mind a time or two. But that ending was so intriguing.'


It should be the happiest day of our lives.

The soft tulle of my wedding dress dances against my legs, matching the rhythmic movement of my horse as I ride towards the quaint old church. Its stone walls are adorned with delicate vines, and vibrant stained glass windows cast a rainbow of colours on the ground below. I smile, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin, anticipation building in my chest as I prepare to say "I do."

My heart is overflowing with certainty that Deacon is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. But amidst the joy, I can't ignore the clouds looming on the horizon. Will we have the wedding we've always dreamed of, or is someone plotting against us to deny us the celebration we truly deserve?

"The Wedding" is not just a short story; it's our story, part of the intense and gripping McBride Vendetta Psychological Thriller Series.

oh abs wonderful novella. my favourite genre and now I have to read the debut by the author. it's so sneaky and the way you get to know everything without learning anything is a masterpiece technique only few can do. definitely going to read all in the series.

It was easy to get interested in this story, but the way it ended abruptly without revealing anything more was awful it made me think of a tired parent who hurries through a story because she is tired and wants to get it over.

The Wedding is the fourth book in The McBride Vendetta Psychological Thrillers series. I loved this short story about Isabel and Deacon's wedding day. It was well written, with humour, love, and the knowledge that what you wear to your wedding doesn't matter; the vows do. The intrigue at the end is a killer, though! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
