About this listen

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?

E.J. Russell takes you on a wild ride into her fascinating “Enchanted Occasions” world, a world filled with imaginative and equally fascinating paranormal beings. This novella sized book packs a punch and a whole lot of story. I adored the two lead characters, Kai Schiffer and Jovan Kos, Kai is half human but his other half takes over when in the supernatural world, making him invisible to others, with only one exception, he becomes visible for a doomsday situation. Jovan is an Interstitial Law Enforcement agent and a wolf warrior/berserker but currently he is the best man for his friend Ole, who is marrying Radka. Enchanted Occasions event planning is handling the affair so you can expect some bizarre situations and SNAFU, but beyond that there are more than usual mishaps. I loved the chemistry between Jovan and Kai, so happy they got spend time together and Jovan got to actually see Kai. This is a fast paced and cleverly plotted story, there is plenty of drama, humor and witty dialogue, twists and turns, heartfelt emotions and some steamy romance. E.J Russell, thank you for another entertaining story.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, E.J. Russell cast the perfect narrator to bring her story and characters to life. Kirt Graves is a talented narrator and a versatile voice artist. He is awesome at covering the roles of all the different characters, giving each their own distinct voice, making it easy to follow along and tell who is who. His portrayal of the characters is spot on and he is believable in every role he plays. He sets the perfect tone for the story, handles to witty dialogue with ease and handles the humor effortlessly. He also captures all the character’s emotions and projects them into his performance and has you feeling every single one. Kirt Graves is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another amazing listen.

I loved this book.

It had a little bit of everything. There was action, comedy, some spice, a mystery & buddy cop syory all in one.

I loved that they worked together to sort out all the messes. It's not insta-love, because they've been circling each other for years. They're both friends & looking out for their besties best interests.

Only downside was the villain's resolution. It's implied that they kinda got off scot free & they deserved insta-karma.

but I still loved the story & the pairing was Chef's kiss 💋

This was my first story in the "Enchanted Occasons" world by E.J. Russell and the novella worked well as a standalone.
The author created many fantastical paranormal creatures. I liked Kai and Jovan well, with Kai having the distinction of not always being visible. The two are invited to their best friend's wedding and it was really funny at times what sudden unexpected problems arose there. I really liked the two main characters, the chemistry between them was definitely right.
I liked the story, it was alternating, sometimes funny, sometimes with some drama and sometimes a steamy romance. Unexpected twists and turns make the book entertaining. A sweet story for in between.

Kirt Graves has a big part in this, who is a master at portraying the emotions of the protagonists super well, so that as a listener you find yourself in the middle of the story. It is always a pleasure to listen to Kirt Graves.

I requested a free copy of the audiobook and this is my honest opinion that I am volunteering

Cute story

Best Beast is part of the Enchanted Occasions series, but can easily be read as a standalone. Kai and Jovan are interesting and likable characters who have to use all their wits to keep their best friends’ wedding from becoming a disaster. In the process, they also find love with each other. There is so much humor and sass throughout the book and the interactions with all the characters is really enjoyable. E.J. Russell is one of my favorite authors - the amount of intricate and fascinating details she weaves into her stories is phenomenal. I just adore her world building.

The audiobook was narrated by Kirt Graves who does a fantastic job. The audio was well produced and that, along with a smooth and dynamic performance, made this audiobook fantastic.
