Review - Edging Closer by L.M. Somerton
My rating: 
The countdown is on to Joe and Olly's big day. After years together, they're going to get married. There's lots to do. Outfits to plan. Cupcakes to order. What could go wrong? Plenty, it seems. The pair may have thought the past could be put behind them, but a new threat emerges to endanger their happily ever after. This ninth installment concludes the Tales from The Edge series more or less where it began, with Joe and Olly.
