3.5 ⭐️

This was cute yet quirky and a good addition to the Graves Glen series. Bowen and Tamsyn were cute but I didn't connect with them like I did with the characters from the previous books. Still a quick and fun read!

Thanks Netgalley and Avon and Harper Voyager | Avon for an ARC!

Strong, fun story from the start. Witchy romance with a little mystery. The resolution makes no sense to be though. “Time travel is weird” about sums it up. I loved the banter, but felt overall some things weren’t brought to conclusion.

Definitely not my favorite of the series. I loved the first two witch books from this author and was really looking forward to a Christmas themed third book. It felt very disjointed, rushed, and chaotic.

I have read every book in this series by Erin Sterling, and the most recent doesn't disappoint. The romance is steamy, the magic/time travel is interesting and believable, and the inclusion of a love interest outside the two big magic families helps to keep this series from feeling too formulaic. My only complaint is that the romance between the two MCs felt like it came out of nowhere, with only an initial meeting and a "one year later" page and BOOM they are obsessed with and fantasizing about each other, but the rest of the story was so good that I was able to forgive that. I highly recommend this one, especially if you've already been keeping up with the other books in this series.

Thank you Avon and Harper Voyager and NetGalley for the ARC of The Wedding Witch.

3.5 rounded down to 3.

Bowen Penhollow is the third brother and the center of the 3rd The Ex Hex interconnected series. I love a series that focuses on each important person in a family or friend group. Secondary characters can make a break a book so when we get to look at everyone's story it feels like seeing a best friend again!

The Wedding Witch was a quick, cute winter read that brought Tamsyn into the picture. I have to be honest, I really don't remember her from her first appearance. But even so, her and Bowen were just adorable together. I enjoyed seeing the evolution of their relationship and what a great team they made; solving problems and getting out of sticky situations. Tamsyn's career is in antiques "acquisitions"; a fancy way of saying she finds and steals rare treasures for her clients. While I did enjoy this one, there was something about it that just didn't hit the same as the first two. I can't quite place my finger on it. Even still, it was a very fun read and a great conclusion to the series.

Is this book perfect to read for the upcoming holiday season? Yes, it is. It gives the perfect vibe to read while enjoying the shenanigans between Bowen and Tamsyn.

We finally get Bowen book, which I have been waiting for. I always love to read about a grumpy older brother falling in love because they fall harder than the others. And Bowen definitely lived up to his expectations and more.

There is only one thing that bothers me. I didn’t like the love interest, Tamsyn, as much as I thought I would. There is just something that I don’t like. It was really a struggle to enjoy her chapters or Bowen falling in love with her. She is just something that I don’t enjoy reading. I know it’s a bit harsh to say, but I just don’t like her as a love interest. Sorry.

The Wedding Witch
by Erin Sterling

This book is part of ‘The Ex Hex’ and ‘Kiss Curse’ universe! It was cute and interesting but it fell a bit flat for me compared to the other books in the series!

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper for the digital advanced readers copy!! Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling was a fun romcom with everpresent witchy elements. Loved the characters and plot points.

I haven't read the first two books in this series, and I didn't have any problem following what was going on, although there were a few things alluded to that have me very intrigued to check both those books out.

I really enjoyed Bowen and Tamsyn as our main characters. I loved the way Tamsyn talked to Bowen and was able to bring him out of his grumpy shell. It seems like she alone, besides maybe his brothers is able to bring out that side to him. Tamsyn is really funny and she had me laughing out loud.
I enjoyed the characters and the plot, we did have some slower moments here and there but they didn't last too long. Was it a bit instalovey, sure, but who wouldn't immediately fall in love with Bowen, a super handsome man, and a witch to boot? I mean it seems logical to me. I had a great time reading this from beginning to end.

I enjoyed this one. Although the first two were a little better.
I did like the concept of time travel. But I was just hoping for a little more witchy theme like in The Ex Hex.

Erin Sterling's latest Graves Glen title is sizzling. Bowen Penhallow (witch) has hired Tamsyn Bligh (human) to procure magical items for him exclusively. They meet in person on Christmas Eve and share a perfect kiss under the mistletoe before Tamsyn shakes his hand to make their deal official. No getting romantically involved with co-workers. Their friendship and work develop over the course of the year and they find themselves at the same stunning estate just before Christmas Eve. This is a lighthearted love story, but the back story for both characters is so rich and full of depth. I love Tamsyn and Bowen and hope there will be more Graves Glen titles in our future.

Many thanks to Avon and Harper Voyager and NetGalley for the advanced reader's copy in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a fun follow up book to her pervious ones. They are always lighthearted and fun with a bit of witch business. Definitely had fun!

This one felt quite a-bit different from the rest of the books in the series—the macro plot felt a bit darker and the focus on Yule just made this a different read. I felt like this one was the most overly sexual too, and some of the spicy scenes unfortunately took me a little bit out of the story because they felt abrupt. I still enjoyed myself reading this but it wasn’t as strong for me as the first two books. Thank you for an advanced reader copy & a chance to review the book.

Book three of the Graves Glen series mixed it up a bit, because it was a Christmas book instead of a Fall book! Don't worry - it still has all the witches and witchy vibes. And even a human and a witch!!

In this book we dive into the story of the third Penhallow brother, Bowen. He makes a living by buying and selling witchy artifacts that he used his employee, Tasmyn Bligh, to find for him.


Under their contract, she is only to work for him exclusively. So imagine his surprise when he shows up to his dead best friends, ex-fiances wedding (I know... That's a lot) and finds Tasmyn there, going by a different name, looking for another artifact. Not just any artifact, but one worth 1 millions dollars.

But when they find themselves back in 1958 because of their shenanigans, they must work together to get back to the present.

This was a fun read and a perfect way for witch lovers to keep their Christmas season with a little bit of spooky! I would say this is my least favorite of the series. Definitely still read it, and let me know your thoughts !

This was a very cute Christmas-themed romance with some magical realism thrown in. You don't need to read the first two books to follow this one, it's fine as a stand-alone.

4.5 stars. I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Very different than the previous books, but my new favorite!

Bowen & Tamsyn were such a fun pair! Their banter via text & email set the tone for their relationship very well. Their chemistry and spice was *chefs kiss*.

Then adding in time travel?! And snowy Christmas time (Yule)?! So so good!

I mixed reading with my ears and eyes. Great narration - highly recommend the audiobook.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for the chance to review an advance copy.

book three in the the ex hex series was actually a christmas themed one! this is kind of fun because it encompasses my love for witches and my desire for all things cozy right now, wrapped into one plot! 🤘🏻

our final penhallow brother finally meets the woman of his dreams and we get to see everybody happy & thriving. i enjoy how thoughtful and focused bowan is and how perfect tamsyn compliments him. she is the traveling sunshine to his grumpy live as a hermit in the woods ☺️💕

i would say you could read this as a stand-alone, but i think it would be better still if you read them in order so you better understand the other brothers & their partners. out of the series i would still say book two is my favorite!

I wish publishers wouldn't wait so long to publish books in a series-I had forgotten the characters a bit and it took away from my enjoyment of who was who-this didn't feel quite like a standalone. I enjoyed the banter and the details of living in a different time but I felt like it needed more details to flush out the plot.

Loved this third book in the series! It's been a while since I read the first two so it took some time to remember what happened before with the other characters and who these characters were LOL. It was a fun time and quick read with some spice. I've been interested in more time travel stuff so that aspect was fun as well and thought overall it was a cute story with a lot of quick twist reveals near the end!

Bowen Penhallow has always been a loner, studying dark and ancient magic on a mountaintop in Wales. He prefers it that way. But when his friend Colin—who happens to be a ghost—asks him to attend a Yuletide wedding at a grand estate deep in the Welsh countryside, Bowen reluctantly agrees.

Tamsyn Bligh is not a witch, but she makes her living off of them. As a procurer and seller of magical items, Tamsyn’s business is not always above board, but she’s been trying to fix that (mostly.) Bowen is an occasional customer—as well as the star of several of Tamsyn’s dreams and she also has gotten herself an invite to the Witchy Wedding of the Century in the hopes of finally making a score big enough to retire.

But Tamsyn isn’t the only one sneaking about in Tywyll House, and the mix of a very strong spell combined with a wedding mishap transports Bowen and Tamsyn into Tywyll House’s past, to the Yuletide Celebration of 1958. As Bowen and Tamsyn work together to get back to the present, they must also face off with the origins of Tywyll House’s haunting, the suspicions of their fellow witches…oh, and the fact that somewhere between the mistletoe and the bonfire, they might be falling in love.

This was a fun third installment to the series and I loved the time travel aspect. My only complaint compared to the other 2 books is there wasn’t really any Halloween and just a little Christmas. It works for the story but not as much if you’re expecting a Halloween story like the other 2 books. Thank you NetGalley and Avon publishing for an arc copy. 3.5 ⭐️
