This book is perfect for this time of year! Witches for spooky season, but it’s set at Yule so there’s just a hint of Christmas vibes (but it’s really not a holiday book). Tamsyn (a human) and Bowen (a witch) are working together to solve a magical mystery, and they accidentally get sent back in time. There was a bit of insta-love that I wish was a little more drawn out, but these two have great banter. It was a quick, fun read and I recommend it if you’re looking for something cozy for the fall!

Thank you to Erin Sterling, HarperCollins/Avon Books, and NetGalley for this e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I squealed when I got the email that I received the newest addition to "The Ex Hex" books! This is such a fun, easy to read series that I look forward to every year. You have handsome and gorgeous witches with centuries old drama, funny side quests, and really sweet, tender relationships. This one was definitely cozy Christmas vibes (the others have been fall vibes) and I loved getting to see more from a human character. I loved this one and it is perfect to read by the fire.

The Wedding Witch
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks so much to @avonbooks for the free eARC!

I read The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse last year and they made for enjoyable fall reads! I was so excited when I saw that the third book was coming out this year, but I was a touch disappointed that it wasn’t a fall book like the other two.
This book is set around Yule, but don’t worry, it’s really not that Christmassy, so reading it now is not a big deal at all.
This was a cute, short read, and a great choice when you need something witchy and quick. It’s under three hundred pages.
This had a fun premise, but everything happened so quickly. I also found it to be a little bit insta-lovey. It was still an enjoyable read though!
I loved the banter between Tamsyn and Bowen! Tamsyn had very quick wit and I always enjoy banter with grumpy + sunshine characters.
These two embark on a time-sensitive mission, and they have to solve a mini mystery together.
Overall, this was a nice change of pace and a good seasonal read.
This book will be available on October 8th, so you still have time to read the first two books before it is released.

I LOVED this series and having The Wedding Witch added was topping on the cake. I have re-read the series because it was so darn vibey and cute. It was so fun to get back to the characters in book one and also the weird time travel situation. It is just so darn cozy, I will definitely read anything Erin Sterling writes!

Such a FUN book! It’s a super quick read, but it was so lovely to revisit the Penhallow boys. The MCs fall in love so easily and so naturally and they brought me so much joy! Thanks to HarperCollins/Avon for the ARC.

This was a very enjoyable book. I could not put it down. I really like the writing style of the author. Great read!

4⭐️s. Definitely a good read. I enjoyed the magic and how the story played out with trying to fix the spell gone wrong. Love a grumpy MMC. Definitely plan to read more from @erinsterlingbooks. Mark your calendars for October 8th when you can get your own copy of The Wedding Witch.

Bowen is a witch who’s very much a loner and enjoys ancient magic as well as finding unique items. Tamsyn is the one you call for said unique items. She is not a witch but has a lot of involvement with them so to her work. When an opportunity comes that could mean her early retirement, she jumps at it. Tamsyn must now go to the Tywyll House for a witchy wedding to find a magical artifact. She doesn’t not expect to fine Bowen there. Neither expected to be transported back in time to 1958 and have to make sure Bowen’s grandparents get married. Their forced proximity brings out a lot of the chemistry they’ve held back. Read to see if they can get back to the present, why this artifact is so important, and if chemistry turns into more.

This is the third book in the Graves Glen series by Erin Sterling, and it was such a great way to start off spooky season!

It is a witchy, fun romp filled with familiar characters, ancient magic, and time-travel twists. It has banter, spice, the Welsh countryside, and all the entertaining tropes.

The story focuses on the third Penhallow brother, Bowen, who is a reclusive mountain-dweller, determined to help his friend that disappeared in a magical mishap. Tamsyn is a human who professionally hunts down magical artifacts and agrees to work for Bowen exclusively. Sparks fly as the unlikely pair work to uncover all of the magical mysteries.

Thank you to the author, HarperCollins and NetGalley for this e-ARC. This book will be available on October 8, 2024.

So excited to be back with the charming Penhallow brothers. The way I squealed when I got this eARC of The Wedding Witch. I couldn’t wait to see what Bowen was up to in his book, but was a little surprised to find Tamsyn (from the Ex Hex) was the FMC. I wasn’t sure I was going to like her, let alone how she would fit into Bowens story but she definitely delivered and I ended up loving her (no one could ever outshine Gwyn from the series though, sorry Tamsyn!). This book takes place during Yule, so def a later christmasy vibe, but still such a fun fall read.

The Wedding Witch is a faced paced witchy read where witch Bowen and human Tamsyn find themselves traveling back in time to Yule 1957 after fate has them working together. I know Bowen is supposed to come across to be grumpy, but I found him to be a cinnamon roll immediately, and the flirting banter between the two, so good! The spicy scenes are definitely spicier than the first two. If you’re a fan of the series you also get to see what the other brothers are up to, and I was delighted to see another Jones woman tied to the story 👀👀. I will say throughout put the series I need to know what Simon Penhallow is up to, I feel like there’s more to that story that I’ve been waiting to hear throughout this entire series.


Thank you @ NetGalley @Avonbooks @HarperVoyagerUS and @Erinsterling for the ARC of this book 🫶

3.5 Stars

I was very excited to read this last book in this series, and especially for Bowen, the third Penhallow brother, to receive his HEA.

This was takes place near Yule, which is the winter solstice, but since this is a paranormal romance, it definitely fits with the coziness of fall.

I enjoyed the time travel aspect of this book, and really enjoyed the mystery with the side characters. Everything was wrapped up in the story quite well, and the author did a great job of tying up the loose ends!

Thank you Avon, Harper Voyager, and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this advanced copy.



Witches, a grump, a sassy main character, time travel, and ghosts!! This book has got you covered!

I read the first two books in this series last year and loved them both! The Wedding Witch was every bit as good. Where the first two books focus on fall and Halloween, this one brings all the Yuletide cheer. I loved the time travel aspect this book brought to the mix. So cozy and fun. I loved seeing my favorite characters from previous books still live their HEA. 🥹

If you're into witchy romance and lovable characters, you’ll love this addition to the series!

I loved The Ex Hex, and I enjoyed The Kiss Curse, so I was excited for the third Penhallow brother's story. The Wedding Wotch was a quick read - short, and light - with a winter holiday twist. Unfortunately, it just didn't hold up to the first two in the series. The Weddong Wotch was okay, but not one I'd pick up to read again and again.

This was such a cute fall/Halloween weekend read. It was the perfect book to start off the holiday season. I loved the first two books in the ex-hex series and this was just as fun!

I loved Bowen. He was so sweet and smart and the banter between him and Tamsyn was very entertaining. I always love a little time travel action, combined with the one bed trope- perfect light read.

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc! This was a solid four out of five stars. I loved Erin’s first two books and this one did not disappoint. If you are looking for a fun fall magical read this is it! Another Penhallow brother and his story. I look forward to these books each fall ❤️.

I thought this sounded like a quick fun read but it was not at all what I expected. First it was not clear at all on NetGalley that this was a series so I was very confused by the whiplash nature of people and places referred to. It’s definitely a book that expects you to understand its universe and I was very confused about how the magic worked and if it was a world in which magic was known to all. It starts off pretty fun with banter between the two characters by emails and texts which had me interested in where it was going but then it suddenly became all about instant love and orgasms. Definitely weird choices in how that started too. I much prefer romance that has banter and actually word play so this was very much not for me. There were so many places where it could have been funny, after all how can you introduce a talking cat and then never have any fun? But sadly this author managed. There’s an instant fix that wraps everything up way too quickly and is not at all satisfying with a lot left unexplained or acknowledged. I would recommend skipping this unless you enjoyed the earlier books in this series. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Is this my new favorite fall/halloween themed series?! Erin Sterling has done it again! The Wedding Witch is 3rd in the Ex Hex series and it doesn’t disappoint. This one involves time travel and I’m always a sucker for that. 4.5⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

“From the moment you walked into that pub,” he said, “I knew you’d be the making and the ruin of me all at once, woman.”

This was a sweet, steamy, happily-ever-after love story, filled with magic and mistletoe—a perfect holiday read! If you like witchy vibes, haunted castles, magical heists, and seasonal romances, add this one to your Christmas-break reading list.

“Whatever can be undone, undo it.”

I’ll admit that I got tangled up in the time-travel element of the plot. I couldn’t make sense of how/why Tamsyn and Bowen got sent back to the 1950s, or how/why they managed to get home, or how/why things changed in the future (present?) based on what they did or didn’t do in the past. Hardly any of that was explained at all; that part of the story felt like a very flimsy house of cards that existed only as a clever disguise for all of the smut scenes inside. Which let’s be honest is the real reason we’re reading this, so who even cares.

A huge thank you to Erin Sterling, Avon Books, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

3 🌟 this was cute but a little too silly for me! The plot had potential but didn’t really progress or resolve in a way that was satisfying. Also, the romance was very insta-lovey and I don’t think we got to see the connection (outside of the physical one) develop much. I think the cameos of characters from the previous books and seeing where they are now were my favorite parts. I’m hopeful this will be the last book in the series since each installment seems to be getting worse (sorry!!!). Overall, a goofy time but dont expect anything more from this one!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for my advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review 🫶🏼

This was cute but a bit too insta lovey and lusty for my taste.
I liked both mcs and the mission they had to accomplish to save not only themselves but a few side characters was fun. Also if you liked the other books in this series I guess its nice to see those characters pop up in this one.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc!

I love this whole series! It’s such a vibe for the fall season. All of them are cozy and funny. The time travel element of this one was so entertaining. I really enjoyed the banter and chemistry between Bowen and Tamsyn.

Setting: Eerie and Cold Woods, Haunted Gothic Mansion

Tropes: witch/human, time travel, one bed, employee/boss, grumpy/sunshine
