The Quigley sisters are dedicated to running their home-turned-tea house, The Crescent Moon. Here, the trio of witches serve pastries and teas imbued with various enchantments, and apply their expertise in divination by reading tea leaves.

After receiving an unexpected visit from the Council, the girls are faced with completing a daunting task and the possibility of losing their beloved tearoom if they fail. They also discover a curse that threatens to tear them away from one another.

Sisterhood, secrets, divination, desire, and a mysterious curse. This book is absolutely lovely. The atmosphere is so nicely crafted, I could almost taste the peaches and cream tea! The author does a wonderful job of creating lush imagery for each passing season. Anne, Violet, and Beatrix are inextricably bound together, but their individual dreams and desires cannot be ignored. Ultimately, they must find the delicate balance between being there for one another while also nurturing their own passions.

A sisterhood of clairvoyant witches, an anthropomorphic house, a time traveling cat, and a steaming cup of heartwarming coziness truly are the recipe for a witchy good time!

The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacy Sivinski is a cozy and heartwarming novel about three second-sighted sisters who encounter a surprising turn of events that threatens to separate the triplets.

I absolutely loved this story and the time I spent getting to know Anne, Beatrix, and Violet. Sivinski does such a great job making her characters unbelievably lovable and relatable that I immediately felt connected to each of the sisters. The prose throughout the book is so lovely and enchanting that I didn’t want my time in the Crescent Moon to come to an end! I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a cozy fantasy and sweet witchy sisters.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Atria Books for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!

This was a whimsical cozy fantasy about three sisters figuring out who they are. This book had all the things you could want in a good book magic and a mystery with a bit of romance. The characters got a bit frustrating at times with their selfishness which is a part of the growth in the story but got a bit agitating as a reader.

*4.5 Stars*

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a perfect cozy fantasy that had my attention from the first page. I loved the atmosphere of the tea shop and the enchanted house that seemed like another main character throughout the book. This book was like three stories that merged into one as we follow the paths of the Quigley triplets. I loved each of their stories as they found their way towards their own paths in life. The ending had me feeling all sorts of emotions and was beautifully done. Overall, I found The Crescent Moon Tearoom to be the perfect magical read and I will be buying the physical copy when it releases to reread for Fall.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom comes out October 1st.

Cozy, enchanted, and somehow deeply nostalgic. The Crescent Moon Tearoom wraps you in a hug and takes you alongside the Quigley sisters journey as they try to determine their fate.

Anne, Beatrix, and Violet are not your normal triplet bunch. They're witches. The Quigley sisters run The Crescent Moon Tearoom in the floor level of their own home (who is a character in the story itself!). While their magic is not known to all, they use their powers to harness the good and read tea leaves for those who visit. As their shop is climbing in success, the sisters are faced with a surprising visit from The Council. They are given a task they must complete or else they risk losing their shop, and they must also determine their own fate.

Anne, a gifted seer with powers stronger than she'd like to admit, is determined to keep the sisters together by finishing the Council's task and moving forward with life. Beatrix, who is introverted and prefers to live life within books, is pulled towards writing and finds surprising success. Violet, busy body and wrecking ball she may be, is afraid of repeating her mother's decision of choosing love before magic as she finds herself falling for an unexpected traveler. While the sister's complete their Council task, they are perturbed to find that their fate is not as straightforward as it first seemed.

This book was so comforting and cozy. I don't think the smile left my face the entire time I was reading. The writing is so vivid that you can feel your world shifting like the house shifted for the sisters, taste the tea they brewed, and smell the baked goods drifting from Violet's kitchen. It is warm and inviting. I never wanted it to end.

Sivinski is a word weaver herself. For a reason I can't explain, this book was deeply nostalgic. It brought back the sense of magic I remember in childhood, and it resulted in me bonding with the sisters and their story deeply. The Crescent Moon Tearoom is bound to make my top reads of 2024, and I cannot wait to read whatever Sivinski graces us with next.

The pacing, plot as it develops, and the magical threads are beautifully written and blossom with each page. Seeing the individual and combined journeys along with the magic, mystery, and obstacles found in this realm and in the next make for a great experience.

A classic, cute, cozy fantasy. It was short and sweet, and it's certain to pull on the heartstrings of anyone who grew up close to their sisters. (And sometimes misses their relationship in childhood as an adult.)

Love the cover as well - thanks to Netgalley, Stacy Sivinski, and Atria Books for this eARC!

The Crescent Moon Tearoom was a fun read about three sister witches who are being forced on different paths. As someone who isn’t keen on miscommunication tropes, I found myself wanting to shake each of the sisters to just talk with one another! But there were a couple of twists I wasn’t quite expecting and I thought the story was well written. I really loved the use of magic throughout the story and the concept of the tasks. I found myself emotional at the end and rooting for these sisters to find a way to follow their paths while fixing their relationship.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a cozy historical fantasy set in Chicago, about the Quigley triplets, sisters who have inherited a magical house and witchy powers from their mother’s side of the family. Anne, Violet, and Beatrix operate a tearoom near the shopping district that caters in sweets and fortunes for their customers. Their specialties are reading tea leaves to tell the future and magical pastries that lead their patrons to keep returning for more. The Crescent Moon is a successful business, but fate has something else in store for the sisters and it looks like they will have to pull out all the stops to hold on to the shop and each other.

This was an easy and light read, best served with Earl Grey and raspberry scones. Each sister has her own distinct talent and personality, and I couldn’t possibly pick my favorite. Out of all the characters, though, the best is actually the sentient house! I want to pack my bags and move right in! My only real concern is that it seemed like each of the obstacles were too easily solved, with very little complexity. This is perfect for the overall cozy mood, but leaves the plotting a little flat, with very little detail to the twists. Still, I very much enjoyed the story and would recommend it for fans of the feel good fantasies such as A Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches or Legends and Lattes. If that’s your vibe, this book is for you!

Thank you to Netgalley and Atria Books for the ARC copy of this debut novel by Stacy Sivinski. The Crescent Moon Tearoom publishes on October 1, 2024.

This was a wonderfully done debut novel from Stacy Sivinski, it had everything that I was looking for from the description and from this genre. The characters were everything that I wanted and thought the overall feel of the fantasy element. It worked with the use of clairvoyant elements and enjoyed the sisters bond. I look forward to read more from Stacy Sivinski.

I really liked the book. The characters and world building was done really well. It was a pretty cozy read.

First off, the cover is absolutely delightful. This book was so sweet and cozy and fun and charming and I loved every minute of it. I was laughing and crying and rooting for these 3 sisters and their shop the whole book. I loved everything about this book and can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy as it will be a new comfort read for me that I turn to time and time again.

A sweet, cozy fantasy perfect to curl up with on a rainy weekend! I loved the family dynamics and the love from the house most of all- it might have been my favorite character. I think this would be a great read to ease into Halloween since it's more sweet than spooky, but brings you into that change-of-season, Practical Magic vibe. I found the prose a bit trite at times, but I think that's a hallmark of the genre. The pacing also suffered in the middle as the sisters each dealt with their secrets- it felt a bit repetitive switching between each of their perspectives because the plot wasn't really moving forward as time passed. I cringed a little bit at the Earhart reference but it was so brief that it was mostly on me for focusing on it. I think the amount of tea references was perfect- I feel like any book set in/around food can too easily fall into including it on every page, and was well-balanced here. Overall, it left me daydreaming about a slightly magical Chicago that I'd love to visit!

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for gifting me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Witchy vibes are super hit or miss for me. Sometimes they feel campy, and sometimes they're just too boring with not enough lift. The Crescent Moon Tearoom was such a pleasant and cozy little read that I find myself hopeful to pick up another witchy book sooner rather than later! These three sisters running their quaint tea shop (and maybe reading some tea leaves) are living a quiet life until one small hiccup changes everything, throwing their magic out of whack and unfurling a family curse that could break them all apart.

I loved the hi-jinks feel of this book, while still remaining cute and cozy. It felt very Gilmore Girls to me with a magical element, which I think will be right up the alley of those fans. It did feel a little campy at times, but I didn't mind that element! It was fun, a touch zany, and still relatable for anyone who's ever had a quarrel with a sibling. No spoilers, but this would be a cute book club read come fall.

4.5. This gripped me from the start. This is full of delightfully whimsical anecdotes like a time traveling cat and a sentient house that play tricks on one another, triplets who don’t know the exact date of their birth but celebrate on the first snowfall, etc. The narration style was so interesting to me as well. I did find in the beginning that I was having trouble keeping track of whose pov I was in, but I quickly adjusted and loved it! It was such a cozy read that would be perfect by a fire with a warm drink and a sweet treat. Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for this eARC in exchange for an honest review

I received this book for honest feedback.

I absolutely fell head over heels for this novel. Witches, tea, turn of the century. What more could I ask for?!

Anne, Beatrix, and Violet are triplets and witches. They own a tearoom in Chicago at the turn of the century, and read the future for their clients. The council that is over their coven has given them a tough job. They must help three witches find their tasks before they pass on.

During this tale, we watch all three sisters live out their own stories, and become more than just the Quigley sisters. They learn to do the things that make them happy as individuals, while keeping their sisterly bond in tact. This is definitely a must read!

I found out that the author is a professor at a college local to me! That was such a cool tidbit knowing I was reading something from someone I could pass on the street.

Love me some magical realism and this hit the spot. Also this cover is stunning!
Read if you love Ashley Poston books!
It's such a heartwarming cozy fantasy book that includes time traveling cats! Plus the power of sisterhood and figuring out what you want out of life.

A cozy delight of a book!
witchy sisters? ✔️
Time traveling cat? ✔️
Magical house? ✔️
Character growth? ✔️
All the feels? ✔️

I think there are folks that will be big fans of this but ultimately the writing wasn’t engaging enough for me to be drawn in. By the end of this i was simply skimming to the end out of sheer determination to finish it, but i didn’t feel particularly enamored of the writing or any of the characters. It is however, absolutely itching to be a movie and i could see it excelling in an adaptation for the screen.

If you liked reading Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries, The Night Circus, or the Caraval series, you're sure to love this enchanting and whimsical tale of three sister witches, Violet, Anne, and Beatrix, as they run the Crescent Moon Tearoom in Chicago. Serving up magical blends of teas to give you comfort and sweets to entice, the sisters use divination to read the futures of those that visit their tearoom. A few years after the death of their mother, Clara, who could have been the high Diviner of their coven, the sisters are visited by the Council to assist three witches in completing their magical tasks. If not completed, the Crescent Moon Tearoom is threatened to be closed. In the midst this challenge the sisters face adversity themselves as each sister develops a sense of their own life's purpose and wishes. Will they be able maintain their strong sister bonds or will following their own dreams signal an end to the dream of running the Crescent Moon Tearoom together?

I loved this book so much as it's equal parts cozy, delightfully poignant, and the imagery so vivid. Although the sisters are triplets, they are each so different from each other and I adored their relationship with each other, and the tension described between them. I am also such a fan as of an enchanted house that has its own unique personality as it interacts with those that dwell there. Asides from the house, we also have a delightful cat, Tabitha, who is able to travel through time. This is another bonus for me as I am a fan of magical creatures with substance. This is an easy entry point read for a first foray into fantasy reading. This is also low on spice content which may appeal to certain readers. This is perfect reading with a cup of tea, a treat, and snuggling into your favourite blanket. It's pure magic!

I will definitely be recommending this read to all of my reader friends!
