While not exactly what I expected, this was a fun read, An entertaining, quick read that’s lighthearted and full of wacky characters, There was a lot going on, but I enjoyed the writing style and fast pace. *I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Unfortunately, I did not enjoy reading this book.
I found the concept quite fun, but sadly I was very bored reading it.

Am I supposed to care that this chick ran off with one of their boyfriends? Cause Gwen sure didn’t care. How is that the whole premise and plot.

I couldn’t have been more bored. The plot was all over the place and directionless. Really wasn’t here for the awkward cheating.

I think this was going for whimsical and fun but it was just weird and boring.

This book was a romp. Lots of fun and I loved the twists and turns.
This isn’t my usual style so struggled to get started but once I settled in I loved it.
Thank you netgalley for this
Arc.

This is a lighthearted paranormal romance which I enjoyed for the most part. This book had unique pets and eccentric family component with a good deal of quirkiness. But I felt underwhelmed by this book. I felt like something was missing from the story. The starting was quite slow and it took some time to finally get the plot moving. Overall, a decent book. Would definitely recommend!

Sometimes you just want to read something fun that doesn't make any sense. This book was one of those times. I didn't hate it but also didn't enjoy it because I was so confused. I know some scenarios can just be boiled down to "because romance" but why would Tannith have this plan in the first place, it seemed mean and was never really explained. Also recently there have been a handful of romance books where the male love interest is supposed to be all dreamy and caring but I just find them creepy. Jeremy popping up in the middle of the night is just a giant red flag, not romantic at all.

Magical mishaps abound in this light witchy read. Complete with a family curse, a mean sister, and a talking cat, this wild ride of a book was entertaining although not quite as fulfilling as I had hoped. This one was billed as Bewitched meets Practical Magic, but read much more like the former and not much like the latter.

This was such a little witchy book. Deff practical magic meets bewitched with a little bit of love mixed in. I just wish the relationship between the sisters and cousins were a little better and if they were all adults to lines act like adults. Other than that solid read just could have been better. Thank you netgalley for letting me review this book

This book was the perfect mix of Halloween and romance. A cute rom-com that reminded me of Practical Magic and a quirky side that reminded me of Halloweentown. I loved that this book wasn’t super predictable and will definitely be rereading closer to Halloween for the fall vibes.

This just wasn't for me, I had a hard time really getting invested in the beginning, but I loved the concept and it was a nice change to read paranormal done in a lighter way.

I love how so many things happened in the book. I could not keep myself from the book because it was so good

A Letter to Three Witches is a fun, light-hearted read. This is the perfect book to get you into the spooky season, particularly for those who don't like scary reads. I enjoyed the banter between the characters and the overall plot. Griz, the talking cat, was by far my favorite part of the book! Thank you, NetGalley and Kensington, for the arc.

Admittedly, this was not my favourite witchy romance novel.

I felt like the premise was there, but I didn’t feel overall excited about the direction the plot took.

Was it cute? Sure. Was the romance believable? Yes! For some reason, this just didn’t work for me, and that is naturally going to happen with any kind of media.

I with the author all the success possible.

This book started out a little slow as the storyline was unfolding, but once chaos started to ensue, I was all in for the magical ride. A fun story with well written characters that definitely needs a sequel.

While the premise of this book really intrigued me, thr writing just let me down. The dialogue was very simplistic, and the characters were juvenile. I'd still recommend this book for someone who wants to read some fun cat content, but if you want a romantic witchy read... this just isn't it.

This books is a Paranormal romance on the lighter side. It started off a bit slow (whoch is not necessarily a negative thing) and I quickly foud myself enjoyeding the its lighheartedness and humorous fun but my favorite part was the cat's POV! I find that truly original.

This is the perfect book to pass the time.

This book was very cute and I loved the family aspect. It did go a little slow for me and I wanted a little more magic.

The synopsis didn't match up with what actually took place in the book, imo. It veered wildly into problems that Trudy and there was little to show for Tannith's threat about bewitching someone to run away with her. There was also not a lot of actual tension nor any romance between Gwen and Jeremy. The romance subplot just flatlined for me.

it felt like a rom-com and that's exactly what i was expecting. it reminded me of the kind of sitcom i would watch as a kid, like sabrina or something but with funnier banter

Not gonna lie, it took me almost a year to finish this book. I think I started it last September to get a jump on spooky season, and I finished it yesterday. Maybe I should've just DNF'd it around the 30% or 50% marks since at both points I was beyond bored and had ridden several tidal waves of irritation at most of the characters. I kept going, though, and I do think in the end I'm glad I did.

But man, it was a long road to redemption.

The first half of this book is painfully slow. Just painfully slow. That's not normally an issue for me, but because I was so looking forward to this one, it just made it worse. I spent the first quarter of it not really liking anyone. The characters were at best, boring (looking at you, Gwen) and at worst, insanely irritating in a way I think was meant to be endearing but my god I couldn't stand them (TRUDY). I didn't find any of the characters actually enjoyable until we got to Aunt Esme (who frankly, for a cranky old bat, was easily a top three character for me and is probably who I want to be when I grow up).

Except for Griz, who is getting his own star.

However. I acknowledge that one person's "so annoying I would rather listen to an entire soundtrack that's just nails on a chalkboard overlaid with a toddler having a temper tantrum than ever have to be in a room with this sort of person" is another persons "quirky and zany" in the way that I'm sure the author intended us to take most of her characters.

Now, once I got over the hurdle that was the first 50% and kind of made myself chill out and just read it, it's nice enough. A little romp with a little magic and a perfectly sufficient amount of romance. Jokes aside, I found I liked it more when I focused on the background and minor characters more than the main ones, and even Gwen had grown on me by the end. I don't regret reading it but I think I would have regretted it if I'd stopped when I initially wanted to quit. Which is to say the second half is redeeming enough that I'm still glad I read it.

The plot is still Swiss cheese it's so full of holes, but it's fine I guess. If I don't think about it, it's fine. There wasn't even a reason for it to be this complicated and nonsensical other than I think it was trying really hard for whimsy and just took on too much. My advice? Don't overthink this one. It's light and fun enough, but once you start looking for consistency in the plot, you'll lose the fun.

Thank you muchly to NetGalley and Kensington Books for this copy in exchange for an honest review.
