This book was a fun, quick read! I would definitely read this book again, and have recommended it to my friends and family. It is a cute story and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters.

I very much wanted to like this book, and I think the writing was well done, but it never fully grabbed me. The characters never fully developed for me and I just didn't care for them.

3.5 stars
Thank you to the author and publisher for the copy of this book I received.

A fun witchy read, perfect for the spooky season! Unexpected dramas, hilarity and things going wrong, the tale of three cousins who have been banished from practising magic. A light and easy read and one I didn’t take to heart, I just enjoyed it for the book it is! I liked the cousins and their relationship and all that goes on in Zenobia.

Set in a sleepy college town? Check. Characters who are secretly witches? Double check. A resurgence of magic? TRIPLE CHECK.

As much as I wanted to love this book, it unfortunately wasn't in my realm of interest. It was a decent read, and I thought the characters were enjoyable, however it just did not stay with me. It was a fun easy read with a little romance, a little humor, and a great adventure. I just felt like I was missing something. I have not figured it out just yet.

A fun fast read, that was just a fluffy fantasy read. It was a great break from the heavy fantasy I have been reading of late and looking forward to reading the second one in the series.

Lately, I've been on a magical realism and "fun witch" tangent, and this book does not disappoint! I thought it was hilarious, thanks to some of the funny puns (BrewTube) and the shenanigans in the book. A family of witches who have been banned from practicing magic for ages, suddenly find themselves having to resort to it and the results don't disappoint. Is the book silly? Yes. Are there some plot holes? And even though it's fiction and make-believe, you still have to take certain things with a grain of salt. And really, are you going to expect deep drama from a band of witches who refer to themselves as "The Cupcake Coven"?

I thought it was a very fun book, I liked the eccentric characters and was happy with the ending. I have read a couple other books by this author, and I look forward to reading more. This is a strong 3.5* for me.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the chance to read and review this book. All opinions are mine and freely expressed.

A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass
Publisher: Kensington Books
Genre: Fantasy, Magical realism and a little bit of romcom
Rating: 3 stars

I recommend you read this one if you enjoy light reads, witches and chaos caused by magic.

This is a great witchy read for the month of october. It’s light, humorous and easy to read. Perfect for a day on the couch when you aren’t wanting to have to focus too hard on what you are reading.

The witches are quirky and I enjoyed reading about their magic going awry. The storyline was pretty basic and fairly predictable but I don’t tend to mind that when I am picking up a light read,

I wouldn't really call this one a romcom as it was fairly light on the romance. Also, I wasn’t a fan of the whole cousin romance thing or the cheating. It was a bit ick.

That said, I went and read the second book as I did want to hear more about the three cousins and aunt Esme.

This was cute. A great witchy season read, although nothing new and completely unique about it. Nice fun magical fall vibes.

When I say I wanted to love this book, I mean that with my whole heart. A die-hard lover of spooky season, this sounded right up my alley! And the cover! It looks like the cousin of The Witches and I was here for it! Unfortunately, what I got was a book so hard to understand and get into I wanted to cry. I've never not gotten into a Witchy love story so this one just upset me so much! And cousin love?! What the What? I'm so lost on what the author was trying to accomplish here. Yall. This was so not good. I'm so sorry to say this and feel this way, but goodness. This just wasn't a good fit for me at all. I apologize.

I received an advanced copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you to NetGalley, Elizabeth Bass, and Kensington. 🖤

I found "A Letter to Three Witches" by Elizabeth Bass to be a three-star read. It wasn't as enchanting as I'd hoped, nor as perfect as I had expected. However, it was certainly entertaining, much like a supernatural romantic comedy with witty banter and sitcom-like humor.

The story revolves around Gwen and her two cousins, who are on a quest to uncover a mystery in New York. The twist? Their family has been forbidden from practicing witchcraft, but when a life-changing letter arrives, their supernatural abilities make a sudden appearance. This sets the stage for talking animals, love spells, quirky blunders, and magical mishaps, not to mention a wicked witch.

While the plot might seem a bit cliché, it delivers precisely what it promises: a mix of magic, love, and humor. It's a lighthearted novel with all the elements of a fun potion. If you're into the supernatural and enjoy a bit of romance and laughter, this book might be your cup of tea.

It’s taken me this long to write this review because I wanted to love it. I wanted to enjoy it for spooky season. I wanted to cheer for witches! The cover gives Roald Dahl whimsical fun witchy vibes, but this fell extremely flat for me.

This book was all over the place. As someone who gets confused easily, I didn’t know where in the world we were going with this one. One moment we’re with the cousins, now we’re with a cat? Insert Cardi B, “what was the reason”

Speaking of reason, why in the entire town did we have second cousins messing around? Why can’t we find another neighbor that isn’t remotely related? It gave me ick. Just like the cheating. It’s not fun, it’s not cute, it’s not edgy, it’s wrong.

A huge miss for me, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it.

Thanks for my gifted copy!

I was so excited about this since it had comparisons to Practical Magic, but it didn't quite hit for me. There was too much like, unlikely and too big things going on. It's a nice autumnal read but it didn't quite scratch the Practical Magic itch.

This was a really cute book! After loving The Ex Hex, I was excited to pick up another witchy rom-com, but this one is a little light on the rom to be honest. I still thought it was a fun comedy about a witch family who gets in quite the predicament. It made me smile a lot and is perfect to read for the Halloween season.

3 stars

Pros:
- fun, witchy read is great for Fall
- a nice blend of whimsy and humor
Cons:
- book is marketed as a rom-com, but while there is a romantic subplot, it’s not a romance
- romantic subplot does have elements of cheating

This was a fun, cozy, witchy mystery. I loved the hijinks. Very cute and funny. I look forward to reading more about the Cupcake Coven!

The novel had two-dimensional characters, lots of plot holes and inconsistencies and overall read more juvenile than I had expected.

Enjoyable read. Well written, and fully enjoyable.
The characters are funny and well-portrayed. I have enjoyed reading this book and I would definitely recommend it.

I fun and quirky book about family and magic. The storyline is good and fun and surprising at times. It’s easy to read.
The characters also fun and I especially like Esme. I also like how things turned out for everyone in the end. The ending made me happy

This book is an absolute delight! It's a hilarious and entertaining read that effortlessly pulls you in. While it has plot holes and far-fetched conclusions, the story revolves around three cousins from a banned magical family. Chaos ensues when a divorce turns a husband into a rabbit. Expect derailed situations, comedic moments, and unexpected complications. A solid three-star recommendation for a light, quick, and enjoyable escape!
