I was so pleasantly surprised by this book, especially after finding the second book in the series a little flat. I really enjoyed where this story took us and it felt so different from the other two books in this series. The time travel element of this book really kept me on my toes and was exciting to go through. I really enjoyed the romance in this book as well. Since so little of the book took place in Graves Glen, with characters that we didn't know as well from the other books, it felt a little like a stand alone book with Easter eggs. The side characters really stood out for me in this book, and it was exciting to see so many of them in both timelines.
3,5 ★
This one was enjoyable, even though it wasn’t my favorite out of the series and therefore it’s the least rated one, not because of the overall story, which received most of my points, but because of how rushed things are and how some of the plot conviniently easily fell on the main couple’s hands.
This one is more of a end of the year festive vibes - so for me that was a bit sad as the fall vibes were one of the reasons I loved the first two books in the series.
The Main Couple fell quite quick in love, but I see this as a “normal” writing style for Sterling, so that didn’t bothered me as I saw some bothered on the internet. I quite liked their vibe, although they’re not my favorite couple book out of the three, they were the ones that the sex scenes were better written and developed (possibly cause the author is more experienced now?).
By the end of the book, the other two couples from the family didn’t seem as conected as Bowen and Tamsyn, not sure if the author didn’t want to bring those vibes (as she did in the beginning of this book) so we could focus more on this one’s couple or if they’re so recently in love that they felt more bright than the other two?
I caught myself multiple times giggling and smiling at this one tho, there’s some really beautiful ‘in love’ lines in this one.
The overall story was cool, I enjoyed it - even though it seemed quite rushed from “I need to steal this jewel”, to “omg really hot guy that is my boss is in here and I can’t stop thinking about our mistletoe moment a few months ago”, to “holy shit we’re in the past” time travel craziness, then first time reading the one bed trope (but this felt more adulty as I thought those tropes would be - less cheasy teenager bs), to lots of really good sex scenes, to “omg we need to make this couple get back” to “omg this couple went back out of nowhere”, to booom present and happily ever after haha Some things felt so convinient to the plot (like granparents after hating each other finally with a blink of an eye are back together and happy; or out of nowhere Decan is alive!) those actually turned me off during the read, but I guess the main reason we’re here is for the main couple and their discovery of feelings and all… right?
The only biggest complaint I have with Erin Sterling is the end of every single one of those feels rushed, incomplete and makes me want to live a little bit more in the universe and with those characters… and unfortunately she doesn’t do that very well - even if we do have an epilogue of Halloween night in this one, but still, doesn’t give us the extra vibes we want, just tries to wrap the rushiness of the last 20-30% of plot story.
Overall, I really enjoyed this series and each couple!

Once again very disappointed by the resolution. What even happened? There is literally no explanation. A cool lady does some magic she won’t explain and then *poof* everything is right as rain? I admit I always feel a bit stupid reading time travel plots but this time I am certain it is not my fault lol. However, I did enjoy the chemistry of these two characters and loved the audiobook narrator
