The Wedding Witch
The New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse brightens up the Winter Solstice with another delightfully spooky novel following Bowen Penhallow and the girl he feels strangely drawn to—especially when she becomes his only hope of salvation after a strong spell sends them to a Yuletide celebration... more than 50 years in the past.
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 dirtiest dreams—but she’s been around enough witches to know that, as a human, getting involved with one is not the smartest idea. She’s finagled an invite to the Witchy Wedding of the Century in the hopes of finally making a score big enough to retire. Just one priceless magical artifact from Tywyll House would set her up for life.
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.

Erin Sterling
Erin Sterling is the pen name of Rachel Hawkins, a New York Times bestselling author who has a talent for weaving spells of romance, humor, and magic into stories that feel both enchanting and grounded. Under this name she steps away from the darker gothic thrillers she writes as Hawkins and instead invites readers into the witch-lit charm of small towns where curses, family legacies, and the occasional love potion keep life deliciously unpredictable.
Born in Virginia and raised in Alabama, she grew up surrounded by Southern folklore and a fascination with the uncanny. That mix of ordinary life and something otherworldly never quite left her, and it now shapes the heart of her work. Before publishing full-time she taught high school English, a period that sharpened her ear for dialogue and gave her an appreciation for how humor and vulnerability can live side by side in a single line of conversation.
Graves Glen
The town of Graves Glen looks like any other quiet corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with its cozy shops, college-town energy, and leaf-strewn streets. But beneath the pumpkins and autumn festivals, magic hums through the air, binding families, rivalries, and long-held secrets together.
This is a place where witches live openly alongside mortals, where a poorly aimed spell can ignite a decades-old feud, and where falling in love might be the most dangerous enchantment of all. At the heart of the series are characters who stumble, banter, and bicker their way through curses and family legacies, only to find that the truest kind of magic is often the one they least expect.
Graves Glen consists of three books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
