The next instalment in the story of Lucy and Rafe， great as usual。 The only trouble with reading this as soon as it comes out is the long wait until the next one！

After twelve books of the Vampire Knitting Club Lucy and Rafe may get their happily-ever-after wedding in book thirteen titled Ribbing and Runes by Nancy Warren。 However with this being a cozy mystery not a romance it is not a sure thing。 If you are a long time fan of this series like me you are looking forward to Lucy’s parents from Egypt being at the wedding as well as friends form Boston。 If not the book may read okay as a stand-alone but you owe it to yourself to read the entire series。 Don’ After twelve books of the Vampire Knitting Club Lucy and Rafe may get their happily-ever-after wedding in book thirteen titled Ribbing and Runes by Nancy Warren。 However with this being a cozy mystery not a romance it is not a sure thing。 If you are a long time fan of this series like me you are looking forward to Lucy’s parents from Egypt being at the wedding as well as friends form Boston。 If not the book may read okay as a stand-alone but you owe it to yourself to read the entire series。 Don’t you know it days before the wedding there is a murder involving someone Lucy was using to purchase an item for the bridesmaids。 Her cryptic last words leave Lucy and Rafe a murder to solve。 As if planning a wedding is not enough to keeps her tremendously busy especially with guests arriving days early。 If that is not enough a strange evil wedding gift arrives too。 Is someone determined to stop the wedding？ Kill Lucy？ A wonderful take wedding stress， family dilemmas， and an unusual one on vampires in general。 I wanted an invitation to that wedding too。 Thank goodness Nancy Warren gives us a close up personal view of All the happenings。 The publisher/author gave me a complimentary ARC of the book which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

This is the 13th installment on the Vampire Knitting Club series and Ms。 Warren doesn’t disappoint。 While you can read this as a standalone it’s better to read the series in order to get more of the back story on the characters and why they have the quirks that they do。Lucy and Rafe are in the end stages of wedding planning and everyone and their mother （Lucy’s） wants to get involved。 Early return home from Lucy’s parents puts a cramp in her being able to meet with Gran and sharing the history b This is the 13th installment on the Vampire Knitting Club series and Ms。 Warren doesn’t disappoint。 While you can read this as a standalone it’s better to read the series in order to get more of the back story on the characters and why they have the quirks that they do。Lucy and Rafe are in the end stages of wedding planning and everyone and their mother （Lucy’s） wants to get involved。 Early return home from Lucy’s parents puts a cramp in her being able to meet with Gran and sharing the history behind the wedding gown that the knitting club is making for her。 Everything is running smoothly until a mysterious wedding gift that leads them down， you guessed it， the path of another dead body and a mystery to solve。 Throw in Lucy’s life long bestie from the states and a mid-life crisis if you will， an unwanted hen party （Lucy doesn’t want it。。but mom says otherwise） and throw in Lucy working through being mortal when Rafe is not thoughts 。。is there something else witchy she can do to help change that？ What options is she facing？Take a read and find out。 No spoilers here…you will have to read and enjoy and form your own conclusions to see if you can figure it out before the end of the book。 There's no violence， sex or bad language， just quirky characters， humor—and murder。The books can be read on their own， but it's probably more fun to start at book 1 。。。more

Lucy’s big day is almost here。 William is doing the catering， Olivia， the flowers & all the members of the VKC are involved in making her wedding dress from the finest silk crochet thread with ribbings & antique buttons。 Her best friend from childhood， Jen， is flying in from the U。S。 What can go wrong？ Glad you asked。 Her parents arrive unexpectedly early from their archeological dig。 Hmm， bad news。 However， Meri， the 2000 yr。 old Egyptian witch Lucy rescued from a mirror is with them。 Good news Lucy’s big day is almost here。 William is doing the catering， Olivia， the flowers & all the members of the VKC are involved in making her wedding dress from the finest silk crochet thread with ribbings & antique buttons。 Her best friend from childhood， Jen， is flying in from the U。S。 What can go wrong？ Glad you asked。 Her parents arrive unexpectedly early from their archeological dig。 Hmm， bad news。 However， Meri， the 2000 yr。 old Egyptian witch Lucy rescued from a mirror is with them。 Good news。 Mom & an envious Violet are planning a hen party which Lucy doesn’t want。 Bad news again， right？ While Nan， Sylvia and Lucy are shopping at a market fair in Wallingford， they encounter Karmen， a witch who implies having a recipe for the eternal fountain of youth and sells it in creams， lotions， etc。 Possibly， this is a solution to Lucy’s dilemma about her lifespan being much shorter than Rafe’s。 Sounds like good news， right？ Not when Karmen turns up dead in her house just as Lucy & Rafe go to question her about an anonymous weird & potentially deadly wedding gift Lucy received。 Covered in runes， it rings alarm bells。 Not sure if this distraction from the wedding whirlwind is a blessing or a curse， Lucy is determined to find justice for the witch despite her bad reputation。 Finally， there’s some good news。 But you’ll have to read Ribbing and Runes to find out what that is。 。。。more

This is another great book in this series， as we approach the wedding of Rafe and Lucy， we are treated to some shenanigans regarding the hen party， finding bridesmaids dresses and a pesky murder to solve。 I love all the quirky characters in this series， I would suggest reading this in order for full enjoyment。 I especially like the reference to Poppy and her wedding cakes （another great series）。 I was given an arc。 I would recommend this book。 This is my honest review。
