This book would be great for someone who wants to experience a bit of magic in their life but doesn't want to go down the supernatural route.

This book was a good read but wasn't the most mind blowing.
I wanted more from the characters as at times found them confusing and a tad disjointed and ai just found I was left wanting more in general from this book

Good story. Some parts drug on though. The characters were well developed and you slowly became invested in the story. If you read this give it a couple chapters before you feel invested.

The perfect fall season read with magic, romance, and familial elements, I adored A Letter to Three Witches and highly recommend.

It was an ok book. I didn't feel much of anything towards it in either direction. The many characters were confusing sometimes.

I love all things witchy and this book did not disappoint on giving me that! Although this read wasn't the most amazing thing I've ever read, it also wasn't the worse. I think I fall in the middle with this one, though that's not to discredit the author or this book. It was a solid 3 star read for me.

Very difficult book to first get into, but once your in YOUR sucked in to a witchy magical romance. Can’t wait for the sequel

A light-hearted read full of quirky characters and kooky goings on. Very traditionally witchy with lots of great comp titles (Bewitched, Practical Magic) that feel true to the story, my favourite being the talking cat familiar that brings to mind Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Perfect if you’re looking for a quick and comedic romance to pass the time, but maybe not the book for you if you’re looking for something more substantial to sink your teeth into.

Cute premise, but fell flat. Lots of whining and obsession over problems rather than story development. Would have loved it had plot been a focus! Thanks for the opportunity though!

What an interesting take on the witch romance phenomenon, that is currently a foot in the book industry. I was intrigued by the premise of the story, and the characters were all very interesting. All in all, it’s a book that I would re-read, and therefore recommend.

Although this is marketed as a romance, think I would consider it more of a mystery/puzzle book, and honestly didn't even pick up on the romantic aspects until the very end.

I really enjoyed the quick pace of this book, and following the three main characters as they sorted out what was going on.

I'll probably pick up the second, which has an expected pub date this coming summer, hopefully there is another crazy adventure the three leads go on.

A Letter to Three Witches is a charming read that will leave you feeling happy and hopeful. The story follows three witches, Gwen, Trudy, and Milo, who are trying to navigate the world of magic and romance. When their powers start to go haywire, they must find a way to get them under control before it's too late.
Elizabeth Bass does a great job of creating a world that is both magical and relatable. The characters are well-developed and the dialogue is witty and funny. The plot is fast-paced and engaging, and the ending is sweet and satisfying.
If you're looking for a light-hearted read, A Letter to Three Witches is definitely worth checking out. It's a perfect book for a lazy summer day or a rainy afternoon.

Sadly wasn't the book for me. The magical hijinks didn't really come together, one character was abusive to her familiar cat and during his point-of-view he is sympathetic to her and it was very weird. Overall, I think this is a light, quick read that casual readers ay enjoy when they want to escape for a few hours, but not me.

A fun and rather silly witchy romp! I wasn't familiar with the film this is inspired by, but it reads well even if you don't know the original plot - it's a speedy and light-hearted book that would make fantastic Halloween reading.

I've said it so many times--I love books about witches! They are all so different, but still have some similarities, and for some reason they just appeal to me! A Letter to Three Witches was a cute and funny story that also had so much underneath in the way of emotional aspects and dealing with life when you're "different." When her adopted sister, Tannith, send a letter to Gwen and her cousins, Trudy and Milo, claiming that she has bewitched one of their significant others, it throws the three witches into a panic. But, considering they have never been allowed to use their witch powers, they don't know what to do. Until Trudy turns her husband into a rabbit by accident. Then they need to get magical help from their Aunt Esme, who is cynical and rude--but for a reason. I loved this book and though that the dynamic between the cousins was hilarious, but also their love for each other and desire to help each other really came through. Watching Esme come out of her cranky shell was wonderful, too, and then seeing her reunite with her lost love--adorable! I cannot wait for the sequel to this!

I have given A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass three out of five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I found the majority of this book to be quite flat in all honesty. I had high hopes for the story as it sounded like a fun time and although there were parts in this story which were interesting, I wasn’t a big fan overall. There wasn’t much of a connection between myself and the characters, especially the romance that took place. It didn’t feel solidified in the slightest, almost out of the blue really.

There was potential for this story but unfortunately it wasn’t executed with said potential.

A LETTER TO THREE WITCHES turned out to be a quick and funny read, with varied characters that were brilliantly put together.

Cousins Gwen, Milo, and Trudy received a letter from Tannith, informing them that she is moving to New York and has apparently hexed one of their partners to move with her. Cousin Tannith's moving out news is intriguing enough, but hexing one's partner in the process is enough to spin anyone around, given their family background. Gwen and her whole clan was forbidden to practice magic after a catastrophic event a century ago. And although Gwen is not too keen on magic herself, recent magical accidents and anomalies pushed her to reconsider.

I enjoyed the cast's chemistry. And I don't mean just in front of the cauldron. I can easily imagine them. and how each scene is playing out. The story is straightforward, but there's never a boring page. I also like the idea of a café with charmed cupcakes that can transform people's mood, or usher them into a better day. No wonder why this book was Goodreads Hottest Romance of January 2022. And I am already eager for Book #2.

I recommend this if you're looking for a magically entertaining read and some romance.

This one was just okay for me. It was a light and easy read, but there were a lot of plots holes and boring stretches.

Though, it was pretty funny and the characters were unique and somewhat entertaining!

Elizabeth Bass has written a fun novel about modern day witches, with a twist. In this present day novel, a family of witches has their powers revoked for more than 100 years, as a result of a spell gone dangerously wrong, by an ancestor. To ensure that family members don’t practice any witchcraft, there are Watchers observing. Watchers are like secret shoppers, so the family is constantly on alert.

In the book, three adult cousins face a dilemma when a fourth sets actions into motion, causing much mayhem and even a little madness! The plot gets silly at times, but there were also a few twists along the way, which kept the story moving and interesting.

Lighter than most witchy stories, I think anyone with even a small interest in this genre will enjoy A Letter to Three Witches.

I was provided with a copy of this book by Net Galley and have written an objective review.
