Erin Sterling’s two previous witchy love stories are some of the most acclaimed of the current paranormal romance boom. Her highly anticipated third romance, The Wedding Witch, will provide a welcome bit of spooky fun amid the annual blizzard of holiday romances. Taking place during a (literal) Yuletide wedding at an isolated Welsh estate, The Wedding Witch follows Bowen Penhallow and Tamsyn Bligh, two guests who are accidentally transported back to 1958 when a spell goes wrong. That’s right: It’s a witchy, midcentury, Christmas rom-com! Bless you, Erin Sterling.

This is the woman who made a romance between a nanny and her boss into an ode to sex positivity and emotional maturity, the genius who decided to make an omegaverse fake-dating rom-com. Ferguson turning her particular set of skills to what looks for all the world to be a Loch Ness Monster-shifter romance? The exact sort of insane perfection we’ve come to expect.

So even though tiger shifter Keane Malone has announced that he’s going to take on a trafficking ring all by himself, Nelle’s definitely going with him, no matter what he says.
