3.5

kind of a bumpy start jumping back into the world of graves glen - i’m not good with names to BEGIN with, and could quite remember which brother was which, and what their discerning features/roles were.

this book moved VERY fast imo, idk if it was just short or what, but i appreciated the speed. the only thing that kind of made me go hmmm was bowen being in love with tamsyn what felt like pretty early, but i guess there was like a year or so time jump. just a thing in some books that sometimes makes me side eye.

i REALLY liked tamsyn as a character, she was quite funny.

I have been waiting for this one and I can truly say it was worth it! It's Bowen Penhallow's turn for a story and I am here for it. Bowen has a secret- back in college his best friend, Declan, disappeared, only to reappear to Bowen as a ghost. Bowen has been trying to figure out a way to bring Declan back, which now involves Tamsyn. Tamsyn has been a procurer or magical artifacts for years, but has worked for Bowen in his quest for the last year. They both end up at the witch wedding of the year in Wales and, after a spell goes terribly wrong, end up back in 1957. This story was so much fun! I love the banter and the time travel and the off the charts chemistry. I can't wait to see what Erin Sterling writes next!

Definitely going to read the first 2 books before rereading this again, but it was witchy worthy! I’ve grown to like a little more cozy witchy and this was a good addition!

Oh how much I love Bowen and Tamsyn! Their story could have been three times longer and I would have read it just as fast. The magic was more than I could have asked for. Almost a 5 star for me but I would have loved more description of the characters and I would have loved just more of the story overall. A definite re-read for me!

This series owns me. I loved the first two books and this one did not disappoint. The slow burn build up was so, so good. Can’t wait to reread near the holidays!!
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this arc ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Another feel-good romance from Erin Sterling with a witchy twist. Always enjoy reading these stories! It is especially interesting to get to learn more about some of the ancillary characters from her previous novels. This can be read as a stand alone, but I'd recommend going back and reading The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse first!

This was a lovely end to this witchy trilogy. We follow Bowen and Tamsyns love story and how they travel back in time to make his grandparents fall back in love in order to sort the future. A quick, sweet read but the ending felt a little too rushed. 3.5 stars

didn't get into this book as much as the first two in the series but I did love the witchy magic and the time traveling

This book was fun. I was wishing and hoping that Tamsyn and Bowen

I love the time traveling idea and the powerful women witches

Thank you NetGalley for the arc

Wanted to love it so much more but came away with mixed feelings!

This was a cute final book with the oldest Penhallow brother (Bowen) and Tasmyn, a finder of magical items, teaming up at a wedding to steal a powerful piece of jewelry. The two make an adorable pairing, and I couldn't help but root for them. In this book, the two have been working together for the past year leading up to the main conflict, and a magical mishap leads to the them ending up in 1958.

While the premise of the book was undoubtedly cute, the entire plot feels rushed and *too* low stakes (even for a cozy read). I think part of this is because a lot of their interaction that their dynamic is based on happens online. On top of that, these low stakes feel even lower because the change in setting in being sent to the past doesn't feel too different from the present.

Overall, a 2.5 but rounding up to a 3

Thank you Netgalley, Avon, and Harper Voyager for the ARC!

This book was very cute. I've loved all of Erin Sterling's books, she is an auto-buy author for me. The cozy aspect of her books is what hooks me every time, the perfect setting for this book would be the day after Halloween, right when you are starting to get into the Christmas spirit, but you're a little bit sad that the spooky season is over. This book follows our main characters Bowen and Tamsyn. Bowen is an anti-social witch who prefers spending his time in his cabin, meanwhile, Tamsyn is a mortal, who spends her time collecting magical items for buyers. We also meet Tamsyn in the last book The Kiss Curse. I thoroughly enjoyed the time traveling aspect to this book, and I loved the banter between our two main characters. The only issue I had is that it felt to insta-love, but it's a quick read so I understand why that was done.

Overall, great read and super quick!! I love Erin Sterling's work; I hope we get more witchy romances from her in the future!

I read this straight through, it is fun and sweet and a real page turner! It’s slightly less drama than the other books in the series, which sounds weird as our main characters are literally trapped in time and could disappear forever, but they are clearly a team from the day they meet so it is very us against the world instead of angst. Which is why I call it sweet, though it does have some heat. It’s like hot honey on your chicken and waffles, a perfect combination.

Honestly, I don't have much to say about this one, other than that I'm happy to be done with it. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't particularly compelling. I wish I had read the synopsis a bit more carefully, because time travel isn't something I tend to enjoy. I got a bit too stuck on the logistics of how their interference with the past was going to affect the future, and that really took me out of the book. I think people will enjoy this, it just wasn't for me.

The beginning had me hooked, with a spooky and festive setting that promised a fun read. About halfway through, I found myself getting fatigued with the characters. There are many things I can appreciate about this book: the love at first sight trope, the magic, and a bit of time travel. But overall, this one fell a bit flat for me. I loved the first two books in this series, so I had high expectations going in and was unfortunately left wanting more! Can't wait to see Erin Stirling does next.

Thank you Netgalley, Avon, and Harper Voyager for the ARC!

I feel like I've been waiting forever for this book. This was a very quick read--fun and mildly enchanting. There wasn't enough character development and the romance, though plenty spicy, felt rushed. I loved the antics of Bowen's grandparents and Emerald. Big thank you to NetGalley for an ARC

Who doesn't love a fast paced, witchy romance???

This was the perfect witchy romance to add to the The Hex series. I can't wait to re-read this in October.

The Wedding Witch has all the right ingredients for a cozy paranormal romance page turner! Rugged Welshman, Bowen Penhallow is remorsefully searching for a way to undo a spell gone wrong that left his best friend, Declan stuck in the realm between life and death. Constantly seeking out the odd shopping list of magical items and ingredients, hoping that each one might be the magical key allowing Declan to finally rest in peace.

Tamsyn Bligh is an American who has built her business as an Acquirer; one who seeks out and sells these magical items. When sought out by Bowen, she gladly agrees to become his exclusive procurer. All is well until a lonely evening scrolling the internet and another job listing catches her eye. This one with the promise of a million-dollar finder’s fee, IF she can deliver by December 24. The Y Seren, a brooch listed in the possession of one Carys Meredith of Tywyll House. Her mysterious internet employer has even provided her an invitation to Tywyll House for Carys’ upcoming yule wedding. It’s a simple enough job, right? Arrive as a wedding guest, locate the brooch and claim her million-dollar payoff. But Tamsyn arrives to find her hunky full-time boss is also a guest of Tywyll House.

With a backdrop of a wedding week in ancestral home that’s notoriously haunted, all decorated with mistletoe and dim lighting for the holiday season, it is no wonder that this moody setting will create the perfect ambiance for a bit of romance. Add in a wedding mishap mixed with a dash of powerful magic that catapults these two back in time to the yule season of 1958 and you have an intriguing storyline that you’ll want to devour in a single sitting!

This story falls through time to solve the mysterious origins the haunting of Tywyll House. Filled with ghosts, festive holiday traditions, humor and just the right amount of romance scenes with mild/medium spiciness (less excessive anatomy descriptions but more situationally/emotionally descriptive).

While this is part three of The Ex-Hex series, I was able to enjoy reading it as a stand along novel. I do think those who have previously read this series will delight in the tie-ins and mentions of past events. Yet, Ms. Sterling did a fantastic job of welcoming new readers to her series.
*I received an advance reader copy of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

ARC Review-

I loved this book! This will be the perfect winter-y read when it releases in October. It was a magical, heartwarming, spicy, festive read and I am delighted to have been selected as an early reader for this book.

This book immediately hooked me in with the mystery of Declan predicament, the meet-cute leading to a growing relationship between Bowen and Tamsyn, and then the mystery of Y Seren. I was enthralled from the first page until the last.

When our MCs find themselves displaced in time, their connection only grows stronger and their banter only gets wittier, which had me giggling with anticipation for their romance. Their quite literal race against time was entertaining enough, but their added emotional connection and romantic journey was the perfect accompaniment to the story. The spice level was perfect for the story, and in my opinion, added a necessary layer to their bond. I carried a deep love for all of the side characters as well. The antics of young Madoc and the charisma of Annie were absolutely charming.

Time travel is a hard topic for one to get right, but I think author Erin Sterling knocked this one out of the park. This was an enchanting novel that left me feeling happy and mesmerized. Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Harper Voyager for granting me this Advanced Readers Copy in exchange for my honest review of the work, it was my pleasure to read and review!

This was such a cute and cozy read. A bit of magic, adventure, spice and set around the holidays. Not to mention time traveling and a friend who just so happens to be a ghost.

Being the third of a series, this could have been read as a stand alone however, the first two were just as good so highly recommend reading those as well.

Would be perfect to read after Halloween and before Christmas since you get both vibes in this read.

Thank you to netgalley and publishers for allowing me to advance read! 🖤

Bowen is happy being a loner and studying dark and ancient magic in the mountaintops but agrees to go to a wedding to accompany his friend Colin who just happens to be a ghost. Tamsyn makes her living off of witches by selling magical items and just so happens to score an invite to the wedding of the century where she is hoping to score a magical item from the household which would set her up for life. Due to a strong spell and a wedding mishap Bowen and Tamsyn end up transported to the past and must work together to get back to the future while also fighting off the suspicions of fellow witches.

I was so excited when I saw that there was going to be a third book in this series. The Ex Hex was the book that first got me interested in reading about witchy rom coms. Let me say this book did not disappoint, it gives cozy mystery in the best way and mixes together the best of all my favorite genres. The characters are easy to like and the mystery keeps you intrigued throughout the book. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend.

This book was quite an adventure! Magic, time travel, hilarious banter and ghosts all wrapped in one whimsical book! Bowen and Tamsyn have such a fun relationship and their journey together is quite the ride indeed. My issues with the book are that it seemed to drag a bit while they were time traveling but overall was a perfect witchy holiday book!
