I will read anything Erin writes.

I loved how this book follows the last penhallow brother. It was a fun and cozy book just the other two books.

This installment was okay—not my favorite in the series, but still an enjoyable read. It keeps the same light, romantic fantasy tone, but didn’t quite have the same spark as the earlier books.

I was captivated by another wonderful romance from Erin Sterling. The cozy holiday vibes of this series are perfect.

4 stars.

The Wedding Witch is a good conclusion (at least I think this is the conclusion?) to the Graves Glen series. While I still enjoyed this installment, it was my least favorite of the three. The plot didn't seem as well-thought-out, and the romance felt the most insta-lovey. I really liked Bowen and Tamsyn together, but I was missing the magical small-town setting of Graves Glen. This does have great Christmas vibes, though! Altogether, I love this series as a whole, and I can see myself re-reading these books around Halloween and Christmas.

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

“Once a girl hit thirty, any idea of I can fix him had to go out the window.”

The Wedding Witch is the third book in the Graves Glen series. Just like the previous two books, I absolutely devoured this in one sitting. In this, you will meet Bowen and Tamsyn. They meet each other at a wedding and end up teaming together to find a magical artifact. Then the unexpected happens; they are transported to 1957, and a new adventure begins.

I honestly really liked these two throughout the entire book. Sure, you can't always mix business with pleasure, but for these two? Absolutely. It was obvious that they had great chemistry, and I just needed one, or both, to cave.

As for the magic of Christmas? I mean, come on. I loved it all! Witches, holidays, and time travel. I really hope we get more books in this series because they have been quite enjoyable.

I liked continuing this series and learning about a new set of characters. I was surprised by the time travel angle. I recommend this as a magical, romantic, Christmas read with a a twist. If you love holidays then you’ll love the mix of Halloween sorcery in a Christmas setting.

I loved going back to Graves Glen and seeing Tamsyn make a come back from book 1. These can definietly be read as standalones, but most enjoyable if read in order. I did end up switching to audio because there were no headings to identify a POV change within the chapter, and it’s written in third person so it took longer for me to figure out who the speaker was, whereas on audio there was a voice change. I did think we were mostly told that they fell in love rather than shown, but the storyline overall was fun (though not super rememberable). I liked the first 2 books more.

I tried to read this but I had to dnf almost half way into it. I enjoyed the previous books in this series but this one didn't do it for me.

The story line had a lot of potential . It just fell short for me.

I liked Bowen and Tamsyn together.

I wanted more from this book. The premise seemed like something I would love and I loved The Ex Hex, but The Wedding Witch was just okay for me.

It was still an enjoyable read just not something I would read again.

I think this was actually my favorite in the series! Somehow these got better as they went along. It was really cute and fun. It did not have big Christmasy vibes so you could really read it anytime. I do recommend this one and the series overall.

I loved this one. I loved the spark of chemistry and banter between Bowen & Tamsyn. Plus the plot was interesting. This was a pretty quick read too.

Cosy, funny, magical romance. I highly recommend who loves wirtchy time travel and family secrets. It is a quick read with short chapters.

I love her thrillers so I was hoping to love this also. Unfortunately it fell flat for me. I can’t put my finger on why, however I simply did not feel any connections with any of the characters.

We finally get the last of the Penhallow brothers!!! And as much as I adore Graves Glen, having this set in a different town is a fresh take. But don't worry, the other couples were still there ofcourse. We get Bowen and Tamsyn in this book. I almost forgot who Tamsyn was. But she was in the original Ex Hex. We get to focus on what she does best here - "acquiring" artifacts. Bowen has been looking for a particular one so he hired Tamsyn's services exclusively. But this takes on an interesting twist when Tamsyn secretly takes on another job behind his back. And all heck breaks loose... sorta! We get a whirlwind of tension, romance, mystery and time travel.

And y'all who are one room, one bed trope lovers! Yes you! This one was a pretty good one! Now, we have obvious attraction from the get go. But it just happened. There really was no build up. We all know they want each other so bad from the beginning. But here's the hook line and sinker- they resist each other so hard that the tension freaking skyrocketed.

Overall, it's a good book! I enjoyed book 1 and 2 better (maybe because I just really adored the characters), but this plot had pretty darn high stakes- maybe higher than the rest of the series. But I thought there were a couple of implausible things that happened and the "big issue" just suddenly resolved at the end. I felt like it was a little sped up. But it was enjoyable and a pretty good ending to the Penhallow series.


Thank you Netgalley and Avon Harper Voyager for a gifted e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a fun read. It was a cute little cozy read that is perfect for the spooky season. I have read a few books by this author and I have enjoyed them all. It is definitely worth the read.

Thank you so much to Avon and Netgalley for providing an advanced copy of this! All thoughts and opinions are still my own.

This appears to be an unpopular opinion, but I think this was my favorite of the series.

I definitely thought this was going to be way more holiday-esque than it was. But the only real "holiday" aspect is the fact that it takes place leading up to Yule. So don't be afraid to read this one any time of the year!

I just really loved the dynamic between these characters as well as the slight mystery/time travel plot. These 2 were clearly gone for each other from the get-go and I loved watching them finally realize the other was equally as lost. They had great chemistry, fun banter, and the perfect amount of push and pull. And the little mystery/time travel plot was so fun.

I read this mid maternity leave and it was the exact type of light-hearted, fun romance that I needed. I have no idea what this author's next plans are but I really hope she keeps writing adult romance!

This whole series was very cute but I love a witchy Christmas premise! Loved to revisit this world and its cozy romantic vibes

I enjoyed the other two books in this series and this one is no different. I do wish we got a bit more of them in the year that she worked for him but it's fine. They are really cute together and it was a fun story.

It was alright. Nothing crazy special but I did enjoy it. Overall there was something missing. The whole book could be cleaned up a bit. It was frustrating to the reader going through this and continuously asking, "OK, why is this important?". The ending was drawn out a lot. The love story aspect and the ending were very cute and well done.
