This story had me all over the place! I can’t even put into words how I sat there with my mouth open at the end. Just read it 😅
October 2, 2024
Ma'am, I sat down to start this read, and did not move until I finished. It pulled me in quick, and I couldn't stop. Mind blown!! 🤯 I knew we were in for a treat in the first chapter, after learning of Troy and Katrina's connection. But nothing could have prepared me for the exhilarating journey you took me on! 😤
When Kaycee doesn't show up to her wedding, and the search for her begins, it seemed everyone was a suspect. 👀 The twists and turns in this thang were wild, and every time I believed there was a lead the plot thickened, and I was filled with more questions. The way I spoke to my kindle like I was a crazy person makes me laugh now. But while I was reading, I was like yeah you guilty, why would you do that? Then she would put a doubt in my mind and lead me to someone else, to start the process all over again. I could not believe the evil, manipulative, and calculated things that were happening in the dark, and all the people who were involved! Whew...🤯
Now Miss Maria has an ace in the hole, and she is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Josslyne done f'd around and found out, that she ain't the only woman with a plan. 😂 The conclusion to this is going to be epic, and I can't wait. Great job Tanisha!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Wow! The author did an amazing job with writing this story. The suspense and twists in this book were incredible. Just when you think you have things figured out, you are blown away by another incident. You connect well with the characters. This is a real page-turner that you will not want to put down. I look forward to reading more by this author.

The Bridesmaid
At this point I am convinced if at some point the line "Just know that I will call, and when I do,
you'd better answer." with the transfer of a Burner Phone the series will continue. With as
many books I've read I have yet to catch a repeater. I have yet just to lose interest. What has
happened is that I'm sitting down giving all my attention to the "movie" that is going through
my head as I'm reading the book. No, seriously if you can't see the visual why even read the book.
That Chester oh yeah he thought he was slick with his ole manipulative self.
Troy I wish he would grow a pair.
Katrina I truly felt sorry for her.
Josslyne with friends like that I don't need enemies.
Maria oh she slick and in charge shocked the heck outta me.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was horrible! I couldn’t really get into the story because of the narration and the sound was off at times. I had to adjust the volume to even hear some of the chapters. Not sure if I will finish the series.

Girl!!!!
Listen … never would have guessed it. The twists and turns in this book. Wild! But it’s the ending for me because I know there’s more craziness coming.

3.5 rounded up!
I ate this book right on up. I think I’m starting to like multi POV more and more cause it adds so much to the story. I felt like I knew who the killer was and I was dead ass wrong! Guessing plots is the only time I enjoy being wrong in life lol. There were so many twists in this and I think it flowed very well. I felt like it was a little rushed at certain parts but overall a nice and quick, thrilling read! I had a great time with it :)

Ooooh, chile!!
This book!! Just get comfy, because once you pick it up, you're going to be in it until it's done. So just cancel your day. Tanisha just drops twists like the rain drops from the sky. She don't care about any of her readers' psychological well-being 😂 by the end of the first chapter my mouth was hanging open like, "She's... wait, WHAT!?" It's messy. It's fast-paced. It's twisty. And you're gonna like it.

In her words: a messy messy tale! And I enjoyed every word of it!
Ms. Stewart, I forgive you for making me wait!
It was worth it!
You had me on edge trying to figure out whodunnit.
Girl, I had no clue. Then the twist, the second twist, and then another twist… I don’t drink but I feel like I need to start.
As always, loved it!

Suspense and plot twists
I’ve enjoyed this series, but this one here is my favorite. The drama began early on, causing me to point fingers at whom I assumed was the culprit. This is a memorable page turner with well written characters and unpredictable situations.

The plot twist in this one I never saw coming. The whole time I’m reading I’m like, who killed Kaycee? Kaycee was living a double life. Just wow…..

forget the wedding bells; this story is all about the alarm bells! the messiest characters of 2026 are waiting for you in The Bridesmaid.
stop what you’re doing and add The Bridesmaid to your TBR immediately. if you need a book that is 100% messy, high-stakes drama, and popcorn-worthy chaos, this is it. Tanisha Stewart has crafted a tangled web of deceit, bad decisions, and secrets that will keep you absolutely glued to the page.
𝘮𝘺 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
𝘮𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸: this book lives up to the hype. it follows kaycee, her sister and her fiancè along with a few other characters, they’re preparing for a wedding..but let me tell you, every single character is walking a tightrope. this story is a masterclass in how one bad choice can spiral into absolute disaster, leaving a wreckage of lives in its wake. yes, you will be frustrated. yes, you will want to shake sense into every person in this book, but that’s what makes it so addicting! the sister dynamic between kaycee and katrina is complex, navigating that thin line between loyalty and ultimate betrayal. you see how deep-rooted family ties can be both a blessing and a curse when secrets start coming to light.
i thought i had the twist figured out. i really did, and while i was close to the mark, the final reveal blindsided me completely. the plotting is so expertly done that even when you think you know what’s happening, you’re still wrong. prepare to gasp out loud. a massive shout-out to the audiobook narration—it elevates the tension and makes that “on-edge” feeling even more intense! if you love a good cliffhanger that leaves you screaming for more, prepare yourself. i finished the last page (or listened to the last word) and instantly needed book two. in MY opinion, her friend needs to be in jail as well! i was so mad at her, no money in the world will have me do no crazy stuff like that.
if you’re looking for a psychological thriller/drama that delivers maximum frustration and entertainment, grab this one!

Every Wedding Has It's Drama!
Everybody is suspect! This is my introduction to Tanisha Stewart's work, and what a great first impression! This murder/mystery who-done-it is full of twists and shocking revelations. I was engrossed from the first page to the last. None of the characters in this story are to be trusted. There is no spice or erotica but I didn't miss it because of the messy drama that unfolded on each page and I was too busy trying the figure out WTF was going on and who the h*ll did it. I look forward to reading more books from her catalog. 10/10, highly recommend!

Wow
This book was good and crazy because the sister was all over the place. Homegirl was living her life behind the life. Troy was slow as hell and he was so obsessed with being a Katrina, but he didn't even see what was going on right in front of his face. Katrina wanted to hate her sister so bad instead of realizing and paying attention to her sister need help. Kaycee really was hiding everything she was going through. She really didn't have nobody in her corner. She really was going through all that by herself her so-called friend wasn't really her friend. Chester really was a crazy man and I was happy he got exactly what he deserves.

This book had me from the first chapter, sleeping with your sister's fiancée the night before her wedding!! Once Kaycee went missing, everyone was a suspect.... including her fiancée Troy. I didn't know who kidnaped and killed her, but I definitely didn't think it was the person who did it. This book had plenty of twists and turns, and once I found out who the real killer was, I was sooooo shocked. This book was amazing. I can't wait to read the other ones

This book had me not wanting to put it down. We got action from page one. I mean, chapter 1 had my jaw on the ground. Every time I thought I knew who the unaliver was, I was proven wrong. When all the secrets were revealed, I was yelling at Kaycee because she really did the most. This was an amazing read that had me on edge. When everything was finally revealed on all sides, I was pleasantly surprised. The epilogue left me with so many questions. I hope the follow-up is coming soon. Read this story, and I promise you will not be disappointed.

The Bridemaid is a Pure Mess!
Oh, my goodness I thought I had it all figured out! Boy, was I wrong! I can't give the end away but let me just say, you have to read this book for yourself! Ms. Stewart is a great storyteller and her imagination is out of this world! Read for yourself, you will not be disappointed!!!

I finished this book on a 2 hour flight after saying I was going to take a nap! Had me sitting straight up in my seat, on alert. It had so many twists and turns, just when I knew one thing was going to happen- something else happened instead. I would recommend to those who love a good mystery and those who enjoy a good game of “who-dun-it”.

Whoa!!! This book had me accusing everybody and thier momma! I am EXHUASTED but it's all good. Tanisha you are amazing author and your brain was operating in overtime in this book. I wanted to blame Kaccey for her behavior, but you don't judge a person for the way they move because you don't know their story. The book started off on 100 and did not disappoint. all lies will be exposed.

Chile!!!!!! The shenanigans that went on between Katrina and Troy had me on the FLOOR. The shade of it all! I must say that I didn’t feel bad for anyone in this story 🤣. They all got with they deserved, especially Charles.
I found myself yelling at these characters a lot. 🤷🏾♀️
I enjoyed this read.

So many twists and turns!
This book was so good that I could barely do anything other than read it! There were so many twists and turns! As much as I tried to guess what was coming, I never saw the events that unfolded coming. This is a must read! I can't wait for the rest of The Red Series to drop. Although these are stand alone books, they are still all amazing!

This book right had me on the edge of my seat. It was crazy good. Tanisha can write. I was hooked from beginning to the end. It keeps you guessing trying to figure things out before you get to the end.
One of my favorite authors now. Looking forward to reading more from her catalog.
Bravo!!!

2.5 ⭐️ rounded up
I liked the storytelling and the messiness of it was entertaining lol but the audiobook narration quality and voice acting made it a lower rating for me.
Although it was easy to get through, definitely a lot of drama and outlandish plot, dysfunctional family dynamics which always makes for a fun time reading and getting in to. The main character is trifling for sure.
