This was a a fun light read. It wasn't entirely what I expected, but I still found it to be enjoyable.

I requested and received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Kensington Books and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my OWN

It started with a letter...

The cousins, Gwen, Trudy, and Milo, received a letter from Tannith, the adopted sister of Gwen, and told them she was off to New York City, but the problem arised when she wrote that she bewitched one of their partners. With no spell casting and use of magic allowed in their family, will the three be able to get to know the truth and fight Tannith?

I enjoyed the story; it was fun and super light. Aunt Esme is really something, and Jeremy is a cutie! The ending is nice, but with Griz's POV, maybe a sequel is possible. 😉

Thank you to Kensington Books and Netgalley for the ARC!

A fun romp filled with magical mishaps. Seems ripe for a series, with a band of cousins beginning to discover their powers and a small community full of nosey neighbours, guaranteed to make life difficult (and situations funny) when they get caught out. It was a great concept with the three letters sent out and basically setting off the dominoes of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If you're searching for a quick, fun and enjoyable reading this is the perfect book for you. I was not expecting very much from this book but I appreciated it very much. Maybe I will have appreciated a more clear progression of the story, but for a book this short is quite normal.
So in conclusion I appreciated this book and I rate it 3 stars!

This was a light, cute read. I wish it was more witchy if I’m being honest, but I was still invested due to the quick pacing of the book and the numerous funny moments. You really have to suspend your disbelief in order to enjoy it, which I did feel like I was able to do for most of it. I really wanted more romance though and more character depth, but also understand that this is meant to be a light-hearted rom-com. I still enjoyed it though, and am hoping for a sequel!

This book was a fun paranormal rom com.. I really loved the adventure, the family, the stakes. This book was recommended on a few podcast episodes.

This is such a good, fun and cute enthusiastic rom-com story with a little twist, which I absolutely love. The only problem that I had with this book is that it felt like the characters are so distant, to the point that I got annoyed with them. But overall the premises of this book is highly good!

A quick, fun witchy read.

Gwen, Trudy and Milo are a coven of three cousins who all receive a letter from Tannith (another family member) telling them that she is leaving town and will be stealing one of their partners while she is at it.

We quickly learn that the cousins all have a Witchy background but that due to a spell going awry many years ago, all descedents have been forbidden from practising. witchcraft. Until now, this hasn't been a problem but when Gwen arrives at Trudy's house to discuss the letter, she discovers that Trudy's husband has accidentally been turned into a bunny. All well and good, but since none of them have ever been allowed to practice magic, they haven't ever learned how to undo a spell either.

i really enjoyed this book and found the characters likeable and easy to care for. The three cousins are great together and so are the secondary characters who certainly help to make this book such a fun read.

I can't wait to read more by this author.

I tried desperately on three separate occasions to get interested in this book, but I could never really manage it. The cousins just weren't very likeable in my opinion and I finally gave up and skimmed to the end. Two stars for Griz.

A part of me really loved this and a part of me wanted more. The idea of a group of Witches with powers that have been hidden got me soo excited. And I really loved the trio and the quirky aunt. But I also wanted so much more. I will definitely continue the series and i hope to see some growth!

This was fun! Unfortunately, I was reading it in the midst of a reading slump so my concentration was out the window. Will definitely re-read this one so I can get the full experience.

I so wanted to like that one but unfortunately it just didn’t keep my attention and I ended up having to quit around 50% into it.

I think if you like reading books with family drama you might like this more than I did .

Three cousins receive a letter from a fourth with a cryptic message about one of their partners running off to New York with her. The cousins are all part of a family of witches not allowed to practice magic because of a great-grandfather causing the Dust Bowl. Tannith, the letter writer is a distant cousin who joined Gwen’s family after her parent’s died. Trudy is the older cousin who teaches grade schools and bakes cupcakes. Milo’s boyfriend is running for Mayor of Zenobia, while Milo runs his landscaping company. Gwen has a cleaning and organizing company. I thought I was going to really like this book, but came out of it disappointed. It felt too long, but the ending was rushed. Gwen moved in with Daniel after only months because he didn’t run off with Tannith like all of her other boyfriends. But he might be controlling, which was hard to show when he wasn’t in town for 90% of the book. They can’t do magic, but their aunt makes a good point about suppressing your powers, it could blow up in your face. You’d think a council of witches would know this. It ended up being a disappointing read.

This is the first book I've read from author Elizabeth Bass. It definitely won't be the last.

I love anything to do with witches. I love Hocus Pocus, Practical Magic and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. So naturally when I saw this book pop up I just knew I had to read it.

It was such a fun, hilarious and entertaining read!!!!

A Letter to Three Wtiches was a short and cute book about a family of witches that are banned from using their magic. When their cousin delivers a mysterious letter at each of the 3 witches homes claiming to be stealing their significant others by Friday and moving far away, they believe the only way their cousin could do this is using magic. They scramble to figure out who their cousin is planning on enchanting to run away with and the drama unfolds.

I thought this was a cute book. It felt more like middle school magic with adults but if you are new to fantasy/ magical books I think this would be a good start! I thought the magic that they did use was very cute with the cup cakes and I loved the craziness of the story. It was definitely a feel-good book with lessons on how you should cope with finding the right partner.

I personally loved their “crazy” Aunt who is everything magical even though their family are not supposed to be using magic. I could not help but laugh and all the drama with Trudy and even though she was a “side main character” she was my favorite.

Cute book that was easy to read and really enjoy. It went by fast for me because it was hard to put down. A slow part or two nothing bad.

This story was an interesting spin on the “witchy” family theme, since it featured a family that is not allowed to practice witchcraft. It started a little slow for me, but once I got into it, I found myself enjoying the characters and wanting them to succeed.

I liked the relationship between cousins Gwen, Milo, and Trudy, and the way that they each handled their standing in the witch world and their response to their cousin’s threatening letter differently. I didn’t particularly like Trudy’s character, but I liked how her emotional state caused her magic to affect the cupcakes she made every day.

The ending wrapped up the story, but it left it open enough to kick off a series. I thought the ending was a little rushed, but I will still pick the next book up to find out what happens next.

I enjoyed this story. It was a fun quick read. There were never any slow boring moments, the story had a good flow throughout the whole book. There were even some things that made me laugh. There were some flaws in the book but overall it was really good.

Oh man I wanted to love this one. It was cute. The premise was fun. And I LOVE when there are animal characters in stories. They are always so feisty and fun! But this book, which I had to restart like three times, just did not hold my interest. I love me a good witchy story so I am a bit disappointed. The narration in the audio was great though!

Thank you so much to Netgalley, Dreamscape Media, Kensington Books, and the author for the ARC and ALC in exchange for an honest review.
