No Charm Done by Emily Grimoire
Tracy’s Rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Series: Oak Haven Witches, #3
Release Date: August 13, 2026
Luna Melrose is a strong witch who feels stuck helping run her family’s magical inn, so she jumps at the chance to free magician Elias Shaw from the “Void”, despite the ongoing feud between witches and magicians, as repayment of saving her mother and other witches from the magical town of Oak Haven. But things don’t go as planned and Luna and Elias are thrown back in time to NYC during the blackout of 1977.
Elias Shaw is a magician from 1926, who was sent to the Void as punishment of his crimes, but now that he is free, he has to figure out how to deal with the modern world and come to terms with the loss of his past. And things quickly get messy because of time travel, weakened magic, tension between witches and magicians, and the risk of humans finding out too much about magic. Luna and Elias travel through different places and times as they try to fix the problems around them and protect Oak Haven and the magical world.
Overall, I thought this was a fun, cozy, and easy book to read. I enjoyed the mix of magic, time travel, humor, small-town witchy vibes, found family and romance between Luna and Elias. Some parts, like the romance and the ending, felt a little rushed, but the story was still really entertaining and had enough charm, chaos, and heart to keep me interested. This is the third book in the series, and I did not read the first two books, but the author gave more than enough backstory to make this a story that can be read as a standalone title.
