This could have been an interesting concept but I didn’t really care about any of the characters. They were pretty insipid and obnoxious. Each one painfully insecure to the point of being over the top. Hard to get invested in someone who barely invests in themselves.

I just finished the book A Letter To Three Witches. It was really good! It’s a very easy read that I was able to finish in one day. But the way it was written is nice. It has three cousins who are witches but their families aren’t allowed to practice. All three of them receive a letter from another cousin that turns their world upside down. The three cousins learn magic and have some crazy antics along the way.

This book was a surprise to me.
I read the beginning of this book and their family drama stressed me out. I really didn’t know how I was going to feel at the end.

However here I am finished and wanting more of this story. Great creation of characters and storyline. I hope we get more from this story.

Their family has been banned from practicing magic for generations, but when a malicious letter threatening their relationships with their romantic partners causes stress in their lives, the magic starts flowing and they have no idea how to control it.

That is what this book promises, that we will have a fun time with three bumbling witches despite the fact that the inciting incident is an incredibly mean spirited letter that is meant to cause pain and doubt, which doesn’t sound so fun to me. Unfortunately this book doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it a rom-com? Is it a mystery? Is it chick-lit? Is it fantasy? I don't really know. It was fun to see the main characters continue to make their problems worse through their poor choices. But the sinister witch watching them and hoping for their pain, and the chapters that were told from the perspective of a cat just ruined the mood. It was too dark to be lighthearted but too silly to take seriously.

I really liked this one!! It was so crazy! I loved the magic and the cupcakes! Books with different POVs will always be my favorite. I can’t wait to pick this one up when it gets published and share with my friends

Thank you to @netgalley and @kensingtonbooks for this ARC! It releases on January 25, 2022!

This book is dubbed as a romantic comedy, and I will say that it’s got a lot of humor in it. Three cousins, Gwen, Trudy, and Milo, are all witches but they’ve been forbidden by the Witching Council to practice witchcraft because one of their ancestors caused the Dust Bowl. The book is from Gwen’s POV, and Gwen is not a particularly developed character (none of them are, really). Gwen’s adopted sister-cousin Tannith is a total nightmare and a huge mean girl, so she sends three letters threatening to run off with one of the cousins significant others but will not specify which one. Gwen’s boyfriend is Daniel, a research scientist who is off in Vermont studying beetles.

Trudy’s is her husband of 20 years, Laird, and Milo’s is the mayoral candidate of Zenobia, Brett. Trudy, Milo and Gwen panic, and unleash untrained magic all over the town by way of cupcakes, toads, and rabbits.

It’s a little bit of a mystery, and it’s fun to figure out how they’re going to fix their own messes, but not a damn thing about this book is romantic. Gwen’s boyfriend Daniel sucks, and she has a secondary love interest in Jeremy, a research assistant at the college who works with/for Laird, who has disappeared right after telling Trudy he wants to separate. Jeremy has no personality - he just instalusts after Gwen.

It was a quick read and I was entertained, but that’s about it. No big lessons, no book boyfriends or girlfriends, but an extra star for the queer couple and for Gwen kicking Daniel Downer to the curb on her own without remorse. 3⭐️.

this was a pretty quick, pretty fun read! i really like the ”witches in a modern society” setting, and i thought the overarching plot was fun and chaotic (in a good way). i was however a bit confused at times, since it felt a little bit like the focus of the plot changed a couple of times throughout the book, and some threads felt a bit unfinished. nevertheless, i enjoyed my time reading it, and would recommend it as a quick little getaway into magic, cupcakes, and rabbits!

A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass
Source: NetGalley and Kensington
Rating: 4½/5 stars

The Bottom Line: This was a very quick read for me as I was able to sink into the plot and the characters from the beginning. With the sending of letter filled with nothing more than the power of suggestion, one family is left scrambling in an effort to understand the forces involved in their likely demise. Thanks to a generations-old mandate, the family isn’t allowed to practice magic yet with arrival the letter, magic seems to be leaking out of everyone. The cupcakes are imbued with magic, the dirty rotten husband is a bunny, and the cranky old aunt is a story unto herself filled with magical revelations . . . . and amphibians. From the blunders and the accidents to the revelations and resolutions, I found this a wonderfully fun read that ticks nearly all the boxes I have for fiction.

Lighthearted, quirky, and irreverently funny. The characters were a bit under-developed, but entertaining nonetheless. The storyline was intriguing and fun. All in all, a quick and enjoyable read.

This was a very fun read! I was reminded of the 90s classic Practical Magic and Charmed while reading. It's a contemporary and funny book.

A Letter to Three Witches is about the Engel family, specifically Gwen, Milo, and Trudy, three witches who are forbidden to do magic because of the actions of their great grandfather. The titular letter comes from Gwen's adopted sister Tannith, she tells the group that she has decided to run away and is taking one of their partners with her. This sends the three cousins into a panic and causes their latent magic to come to the surface.
This is a light and easy read that I can only describe as zany and reads like a farce. There are plot holes and sometimes the logic of the characters makes no sense, but it was still enjoyable. The stakes of this book felt like an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and the ending is wrapped up as quickly as a half-hour sitcom.
Overall it was a quick read that I did enjoy.

I received an ARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley.

I had a really fun time reading this book! It was hilarious, entertaining and a quick read! If you are looking for a light read, you should definitely pick up this book!

DNF 40%. The plot of this book felt rather simple, and in many ways, even senseless. I didn't understand anything of the world building or the reason why anything was happening with the sisters. The comedic relief felt toneless at times during serious conversations and in general, it just didn't deliver. It wasn't very memorable. Maybe it's just not the book for me!

Read if you enjoyed: Bewitched (Nicole Kidman's movie).

From the opening chapter of the point of view of Tannith's cat, I adored this book. This is laugh-out-loud funny with likable characters. I loved the family dynamic and relationships between the cousins and the conundrums they faced.

A Letter to Three Witches follows a trio of cousins who make up the Cupcake Coven as they discover that their cousin Tannith has left their sleepy hometown of Zenobia, New York to move to the Big Apple. Tannith reveals that one of their partners will be moving with her because she has cast a love spell on them. The other cousins who comprise the Cupcake Coven – Gwen, Trudy, and Milo – are left reeling as they attempt to discover who of their partners might betray them with Tannith. The Cupcake Coven may be. family of witches, but they're a family of witches who are forbidden from practicing magic, punished for the mistakes of their ancestors.

I highly recommend for fans of witchy books and contemporary romance. This was a fun read. Thank you so much to Kensington Books for providing me with an e-arc of the book.

A quick, fun read! I love a witchy story – folks who enjoyed Charmed will probably also enjoy this – and the book kept me entertained. I sadly had a lot of trouble connecting to the main character – I wasn't really rooting for her, because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be rooting for.

I received this book from NetGalley as an eARC in exchange for a review.

This book was fine. Not good. Not great. Not awful or bad really. Just fine. I can already tell it won’t be memorable and the plot was nothing amazing to me. Characters were fine. It was just ok.

The cover for this book is so cute, the style and design are really fun and made me want to read the book. Although this is not my usual genre I enjoyed the book. The relationship between the cousins and how different they are from one another really made the book interesting. I also enjoyed Aunt Esme’s role in the story was also unexpected, when I first read the book I did not expect it to take that turn.

I was very thrown off by the character of Jeremy. Although Jeremy was supposed to be the protagonist’s love interest he ultimately came off as creepy. I did not feel the romantic connection that the author was going for and felt like there could have been more built up to this park of the book.

But besides that part of the plot the book was a nice read.

Witchy fun for a cousin coven not allowed to practice witchcraft! This was a light and fun story that started from a letter from Tannith to each cousin about stealing their significant others.

I really liked the characters in this book. Truly and her interesting cupcakes, Gwen and her odd job business, Milo and the relationship with a mayor candidate, and Esme your typical cooky auntie. Due to the fear of being watched, learning some magic increases the danger and suspense.

I wished I had read this around Halloween since it is a perfect book for that holiday. A quick fun and quirky read!
