Each book in this series gets better and better. I found this one extra fun, with its Christmassy vibes, time travel element, fun cast of characters, mild mystery aspects, and atmospheric, magical setting. I thought the climax was a little less intense than book two had, but still enjoyable, and overall really entertaining. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for magical, witchy, Christmas themed spicy romance. Thank you to Netgalley and HarperCollins for the ARC.
