Best Beast

An Enchanted Occasions Story

By: E.J. Russell

Narrated by: Kirt Graves

Being invisible makes it really hard to get laid.

When half-human Kai Schiffer steps into the Interstices—the post-creation gaps between realms—his supernatural half kicks in, and he literally disappears unless…well, don’t ask.

But in a stroke (heh) of good fortune, Kai finally has a chance to show his face (and other parts, stars willing) to his long-time crush Jovan Kos—Interstitial Law Enforcement agent, wolf warrior, occasional berserker, and best man at their mutual best friends’ Imbolc wedding.

Jovan, who’s half in love with Kai already, is grateful his best man duties are light enough that he can focus all his attention on Kai. After all, with Enchanted Occasions Event Planning handling the Olesson-Pakulski wedding, what could possibly go wrong?

Fun, sweet story

I really enjoyed this trip back to the Enchanted Occasions universe, although I don't think this one would work well as your first foray into the world, as there is minimal history or background for the organization or many of the side and background characters. However, the MCs were well described and they were both so sweet (yes, even the berserker). The wedding scene is a hoot, but I definitely sympathized with poor Chef. I enjoyed the story and look forward to hearing more stories about Andy and the Enchanted Occasions team.

The narration by Kirt Graves was enjoyable, and I didn't have any trouble distinguishing the various characters' voices.

I received a free review copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Was good but just not enough.

I think the story was fine and the characters were good. My biggest stripe is the fact that because it is a novella it is inherently short. They’re just wasn’t enough. I suppose that’s not really a negative. It was just that I was left wanting more and there is no more in the series that followed these two particular characters. I thought the world building was fine and the character development was good and both of the two main characters stuck to their personalities really really well.

Love the Beast

This was such a fun book the listen to. The different species that are in this were hilarious. Kai and Jovan were so sweet. Listen to them bumble their way to confessing their feelings was great. Hearing them try to make their friends dream wedding come true showed how much they cared for them.

Great in everyway

Well paced and narrated and a great story with good pacing as well. Easy to follow with detailed and interesting characters and events.

Fun and funny whirlwind

Fast-paced, witty and full of humour this is a great quick read. Great, dynamic and colourful characters and a fun twist on a few wedding disasters. The narration is fantastic and elevates the story!!
