Sterling and the Penhallows never miss! Bowen and Tamsyn have a wonderful story and I loved learning more about the penhallow family!

I received an advance reader copy from NetGalley.

Sooooo excited for book three, brother 3 of the Ex Hex fam. Rough and gruff Bowen Penhallow has taken hermit to the extreme. He's happiest in his far-flung cottage where he can go days without seeing another soul. Until he begins working with Tamsyn Bligh. Tamsyn works to acquire magical objects (and we have seen her before). Bowen has been working with Tamsyn on a project close to his heart, helping his friend Declan who is a ghost. They come together at a country house over Yule with Tamsyn retrieving a magical object and Bowen attending a wedding. But a spell gone awry has both stuck in 1957 trying to set something right. Will they make it home for their own happily ever after?

A fast-paced book that has our MCs falling equally hard but trying to respect boundaries. One or two hot scenes when they finally give up the ghost (pun -- sorry) of their reservations. Low stakes with swoony hearts.

Erin Sterling’s The Wedding Witch is a delightful journey through magic, romance, and mystery, set against the misty allure of the Welsh countryside. The story follows the reclusive Bowen Penhallow and the resourceful Tamsyn Bligh as they navigate a Yuletide wedding and an unexpected time-travel twist that plunges them into the 1950s. Their chemistry is palpable, and Sterling’s intricate plotting and vivid world-building make this book a captivating read. I thoroughly enjoyed The Wedding Witch for its engaging blend of enchantment and romance, and it proved to be an excellent and satisfying read.

I adore the Penhallow brothers, but surly bearded Bowen is my favorite of the trio. This magical rom-com series is the perfect start to magical witchy reads this fall!! And while you’ll get added context and fun cameos from the couples in Books 1 and 2, you do not have to read them in order. I loved that this book takes place at a Welsh estate over the Yule holiday for a wedding, blending magic and the holiday season! Bowen and Tasmyn have been working together for over a year when a search for a powerful artifact has then accidentally slipping back in time. They must solve the mystery while posing as a married couple in order to return to 2024.

4.5 ⭐️

This was such a wholesome fast christmas read I loved it. Erin never disappoints and this book is once again a proof of that. Smut is not too much but still present, witchy vibes are unmatched, banter is so funny and sexy and the plot just works so well. I was really into it, loved the whole time travelling bit and the 50s vibes. Definitely definitely recommend it!!

Just in time for Halloween, Erin Sterling hits with another in the Ex Hex series, Witch Wedding. Bowen Penhallow, the third brother, needs help finding a cure for a spell gone wrong. One that left his best friend Declan stuck in a region between life and death. In order to find the cure, Bowen hires Tamsyn Bligh to acquire magical items.

I really enjoyed the first two books of this series and this one was good too but it lost some of the magical whimsical feels for me. The love story fell flat in places and I just didn’t connect to their relationship. That being said, I did enjoy the book and gave it 3 stars.

Thank you Netgalley for sharing with me an advanced copy for my honest review.

This book is really cute!! I felt like it had a little bit of a slower beginning with those first few chapters, but once the main plot took hold, I was all in. I did enjoy the prologue though, even though it was on the longer side.

The main couple is spunky and fighting their attraction for each other. It's a great working partnership to lovers kind of romance. There is *gasp* one bed, and the witchy winter rom com vibes are perfection.

There are ghosts and intrigue and time traveling and so much sweet feet kicking and giggling like a school girl scenes. This book was just fun.

Content: strong language, explicit s*x

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of this book. This review is voluntarily written and the thoughts and opinions contained in this review are my own.

This story was so cozy and sweet, filled with everything I love in Halloween. Ghosts, creepy old houses and now- time travel. I loved reading both Bowen's and Tamsyn's point of view and how they quickly fell for each other while trying to figure out how to best Parent Trap their situation. The story had fantastical elements and everything I love in a fall read. Super sweet!

The Wedding Witch is a wonderful fall season read perfect for spooky season and readers that enjoy witches, spells, poison, family drama and SPICY romance! Erin Sterling wins Halloween again. I saved this book for after Labor Day and it did not disappoint. I immediately dove into this holiday feel good story which follows the Pennhallow and Meredith witch families and has a sprinkle of real humans in there too.

I found myself smiling throughout this entire novel, I just loved the theme, the characters and the ending. My only critique would be about the character development. I loved. each character so much, I just wanted more. More background, more stories and more pages. Hopefully the author will write more of these because I will for sure be lining up to read another holiday hit.

3.5 stars | This was an enjoyable, quick, holiday read. While the first two books in the series were fall/Halloween vibes this one is winter/Christmas and felt cozy.
That being said, this one fell flat to me compared to the others. It’s essentially Back to the Future but magic based time travel and a romcom. I developed no connection to the characters and the love story felt “insta-love” as we don’t see a majority of their relationship despite them knowing each other for a year. This book also felt significantly spicier than the previous two.
Overall it was still an enjoyable read if you liked the rest of the series.

THE BEST YET TBH!!!! first of all i love the ex hex series, routinely i love any paranormal romcom but these are special in my heart. erin sterling outdid herself e this one though. bringing back tamsyn was a stroke of genius, and her chemistry with bowen was unreal. all the twists and turns were perfect bc they raised the stakes but never made me frustrated enough that i wanted to put the book down. i am so so so glad i got to read this early, and highly recommend it for everyone else!!

SPOILERY STUFF AHEAD:
i am so glad that we didn’t try to explain all the time travel stuff bc having incoherent time travel rules is a pet peeve of mine, i’d so much rather have an “i guess it all worked out, who cares how” moment. also elspeth and harri and emerald were SUCH amazing characters, im so glad i was able to get to know them in this book.

Erin Sterling does it again! I've grown so fond of these witchy romances and this one was just as great as the first two in the series.
Reading about the ever mysterious Bowen Penhallow and the very different type of woman he falls in love with was a great way to change it up from the previous stories. This story was also suspenseful and felt more mysterious than the first two and I truly couldn't put it down.

The Graves Glen series has been such a delight to read during the Fall months and The Wedding Witch was no exception. I loved getting a closer look at Bowen Penhallow and seeing Tamsyn return to the cast of characters. The timeline of their romance made everything so much sweeter and the plot felt fun and unique. This was a quick read and the worldbuilding isn't too deep. Definitely fun as we move into the witchier months!

Another completely captivating book in the graves glen world! I loved loved loved following grumpy Barron & Tamsyn! This one may be my favorite of the 3!

Thanks to netgalley and Avon for the e-arc in exchange for my honest review!

This is my favorite out of the series! Magic, time travel, a haunted house, ghosts, and a few snippets of our beloved talking cat, what more could you ask for? I felt that this was also more plot driven then the other books. Bowen is quirky and very likeable. Tamsyn starts as someone we are annoyed with but quickly redeems herself. This felt magical and cozy the whole time.

Both Tamsyn and Bowen are guests to a wedding that they shouldn't be at for different reasons. Will Tamsyn be able to finish the job she started? Will Bowen be able to help his friend? What disaster will these two get into? With magic and ghosts, the possibilities are endless.

Thank you Netgalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for a chance to Arc read this.

Rating: 4/5
Spice: 1.5/5

Bowen spends his days studying magic in his Welsh countryside home. Searching for a magical artifact to help his best friend (who also happens to be a ghost); he hires Tamysn to begin procuring items for him.

Tamsyn is a spitfire. A woman who aquires and sells magical goods, she agrees to take on Bowen as a client. And ONLY as a client. But, when an invitation to a wedding ends in a rainy run through a maze, a magical brooch and time traveling, Bowen might just become more than a client to her.

The setting in this book had me cozied up on the couch. The ambiance, roaring fires, gin cocktails and spooky settings made this book perfect for fall. And the banter between our two main characters?! Unmatched.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Harper Voyager for the eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

I'm not always a huge fan of time travel in books but I really liked this one! I thought the mystery was interesting and I loved the banter between Bowen and Tamsyn. I loved that we got to see some of their emails and texts to each other.

My biggest complaint about this book is that so much of the relationship development happens (presumably) off page. I think the book would have benefited from either a little more of that background through texts and emails or by being a little longer so we saw their relationship develop over more than just a few days on page.

And though the mystery was interesting, I just...didn't get the ending? Like really didn't understand what was happening and why. I won't get more into it than that for the purposes of this review.

Ultimately a pretty okay/solid witchy read for the season! Even if it is a bit more Yule themed than Fall lol

Thank you to Avon and Netgalley for the eARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The third book in the series, The Wedding Witch focuses on a new couple. A time traveling romance with a bit of spice and insta love, wraps this story into a cute little bundle of coziness. It starts off slow but does pick up.

✨ARC Review✨

Release date: 10/8/24

I’m still swooning over getting approved for this ARC and yes, I have preordered a physical copy to go with the other two. This series is one of my favorite, cozy, romcom reads.

So thankful @netgalley exists and @erinsterlingbooks is such a talented writer. I devoured The Wedding Witch. Definitely my favorite of the series.

This is the third book in the Graves Glen series. All standalone, but all alluded to things that have happened in previous books. You should start with The Ex Hex, then The Kiss Curse, and in October, this one!

The Wedding Witch follows Bowen Penhallow, the third of the brothers, and Tamsyn. Bowen hires Tamsyn to help him find magical artifacts and the attraction they feel is instant. The problem? Tamsyn (a human) has one rule- never fall for her colleagues. When they both end up at a wedding looking for an artifact, they’re unceremoniously both flung back in time to 1957, and the rules may or may not change.

If you missed it up top, I adored this book. I adore this series. I love Erin Sterling and I love her writing as Rachel Hawkins, as well. Perfectly delightful start to the ‘ber months.

This is the third book in the Ex Hex series. I really liked most of it, but wasn't a fan of the ending. The book mostly takes place in Wales at a large, haunted estate in the countryside, in both the present and in the 1950s. Tamsyn and Bowen have great chemistry, but I wish we'd seen more of them falling for each other on page (it's mostly just shown through texts to each other at the beginning of the book). If not for the ending, I would have a more positive review because I enjoyed the story and assumed the questions I had would be resolved by the end. Well, they weren't.

Spoilers/rant ahead: WHY did the broach "fix" everything? What was "undone" by going back in time? How did Declan come back to life or come out of limbo or whatever it was that was wrong (which wasn't explained) after Tamsyn and Bowen went back to the future? Why were Bowen's grandparents at the Welsh mansion? Was his grandma related to them? If so, then Bowen would be related to Carys and THAT could have been his excuse for attending her wedding rather than just "being a Penhallow." Why did Emerald turn into a "ghost" (or whatever she was -- again, it wasn't explained), and why was she NOT a "ghost" after Bowen and Tamsyn got back? What was the point of the protection spells from the village witch? What was the point of the village witch? What was the point of the statue "that hadn't been there before" (not a direct quote, but something that seemed meaningful when the statue was mentioned) that Carys did the spell in front of? What was the spell Carys did and where did she find it and how did she know it would work and why was she getting married to someone else if she only wanted Declan and why did it seem like something sinister was going on with her fiance (not Declan but the other one)? 

After that rant, it probably seems like I hated this book. I didn't. It was cute and cozy and a little spooky. I just wish my questions had been answered. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC.
