Format: ebookPublished: August 26th, 2025Age: Young AdultGenre: Contemporary Romance Rating: 1/5 Stars I really struggled with this one, and if it wasn’t so close to the end of the year, it would have been a DNF.

Book Review: The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling
Format: PaperbackPublished: October 15th, 2024Age: AdultGenre: Paranormal Romance Rating: 4/5 Stars I enjoyed this, though not quite as much as the previous two books in the Graves Glen series.
