The Crescent Moon Tea Room was such a warming and magical story. The bond between the sisters ran deeper than just blood and their story unfolded with such mystery behind it. I loved the concept of these three sisters running a cozy shop together while also paving paths of their own. Even though the story was about witches and magic, their underlining urge to follow their dreams but also remain with family is one that everyone can relate to.

This book also had magic and a family curse that kept me engaged and invested in the story. It was a quick and easy read and I would highly recommend it for those looking for a cozy witchy read. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book has all the cozy mystery charm with the added twist of three witch sisters set in old-time Chicago! While it's a solid 3-star read for me, I bumped it up to 4 stars because fans of the cozy mystery genre will likely really enjoy it. Personally, I was hoping for a bit more intrigue, mystery, and magic. The pacing felt a bit slow, and I found myself skimming sections that didn't seem central to the main plot.

That said, the cozy tea room atmosphere is spot on. I loved the scenes with the local ladies coming in to gossip and have their fortunes read, all while indulging in deliciously described treats—oh, and the tea, of course! The house itself is a standout, and honestly, it became my favorite character.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC! All opinions are my own.

This book is a cozy, charming read with a delightful teashop setting and three lovable clairvoyant sisters. The family dynamic is heartwarming, though the plot feels a bit slow at times. Perfect for light, feel-good reading.

Anne, Beatrix and Violet rely on stories told from the leaves at the bottom of their customer's cups in order to cope with their busy teashop, and their lingering sadness from the death of their parents. When the Council of Witches comes to inform them that the city Diviner has lost her powers, the sisters are torn in different directions. Anne's magic begins to outshine that of her sisters, while Beatrix attracts attention to their stories by a publisher and Violet is drawn to the life of a circus performer, they realize that an old family curse threatening to separate them may be coming true. Afraid of what the curse will bring they decided to change their destiny, but they are so focused on saving their sisterhood that they loose sight of their individuality, causing the reader to ask what is the meaning of family and how do you define yourself?

Sivinski writes a sweet, cozy fantasy novel perfect for this time of year! It is a quick and fun read, perfect for any reader who is close to their family, and loves magical realism. The story is easy to fall into and quickly captivating for the reader.

A must read for any one who is looking for a nice cozy fall read!

Such a cute, cozy, witchy book! Perfect for crisp weather reading or even if you’re simply wishing for cooler weather!

"The Crescent Moon Tearoom" by Stacy Sivinski tells the tale of the Quigley sisters and their quest to stay together in their unique home/tearoom while also uncovering their very specific destinies. The author delivers the story like one of the many cups of tea from the tearoom. There’s magic, love, desire, heartbreak, and drops of comfort. It had me feeling nostalgic as I reached for special scents and memories from my childhood. It’s apparent from the beginning that Anne, Beatrix, and Violet are all gifted at their craft, but something is amiss as a possible curse comes to light. Each sister experiences a different journey while trying to weave her true nature with the bond of sisterhood. If you’re looking for a truly cozy book, this one checks all the boxes.

Thank you, NetGalley, Sarah Sivinski, and Atria books for early access to the book in exchange for an honest review. It was such an enjoyable and relaxing read!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

The premise of this debut novel really drew me in and I was excited about where the story would go.

Triplets, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet, own and operate a much loved teashop, where with some help from their magic, they offer the leaf reading services to their clients. It almost seems as if they could continue in this way happy forever. Until one day, the Council of Witches comes to call. The sisters then set forth attempting to complete the tasks given to them by the Council, while also trying to sort out a family curse that has recently been discovered.

The novel focuses on destiny, family, and whether you have the ability to control either.

This novel is definitely cozy and will be great for lovers of the genre. Overall I enjoyed it, however I do wish there had been a little more pop. I absolutely loved that the house itself was such a character!

I think it was more of a 3.5 for me, but I am rating it a 4 knowing that the cozy genre isn’t something I often read.

“The Crescent Moon Tearoom” by Stacy Sivinski ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Genre: Cozy Magical Fantasy. Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA. Time: Spring to Winter, back when women wore petticoats and bustled satin skirts.

Triplets Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley were born to witch Clara and her human husband. They have identical red hair, extremely fair skin, sharp features, and live together in Crescent Moon, a magical, sentient house. Anne has light blue eyes and wears a watch; Beatrice has dark brown eyes and wears spectacles; Violet has purple eyes and can’t sit still. They’re clairvoyants. Since their parents died, they read tea leaves for customers in their parlor. The Council of Witches directs them to discover the Life Tasks of 3 elderly witches or lose their tea shop. Meanwhile, they discover they’ve been cursed, and will be separated if they don’t break the curse by their birthday at 1st snowfall. They must travel in different directions to rewrite their future.

Author Sivinski’s debut novel invokes the mythology of the Three Fates (3 seers born at the same time). She writes of the strong bond of sisters woven together with magical omens and coming of age themes. Each sister grows in her own way-but will their growth tear them apart? Sivinski’s descriptions are lush and mouth-watering as she writes of ever-blooming gardens, lemon cakes, time-traveling cats, and word weavers. Sit down with a cup of vanilla tea and a lavender biscuit to enjoy this: It’s sisterhood, it’s self-discovery, it’s magic (what could be better than a house that does the dishes and cleans for you?), and it’s 5 stars from me🌵📚💁🏼‍♀️

Thank you to Atria and Net Galley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I wanted to love this book based on the premise. This is a debut novel and excited to see how the author hones her writing craft. There was just some things that bothered me such as switching POVs in the chapter and sometimes within paragraphs. There's was one time that it was explained about helping three witches then one of FMCs asked how many they had to help. There's a lot of inner dialogue which I don't mind but there wasn't a lot of external dialogue to move the story so it was so slow. I loved the premise of the story and felt like it has so much potential. It was cozy and the family love was cutesy. The house was my favorite character!

this book has its niche somewhere and i know somebody else is going to absolutely adore this book. it’s a calmer, cozier fantasy than i expected and i’m starting to think maybe cozy fantasy just isn’t for me. the codependency between the three sisters is crazy, even though it’s kind of the main point of the book. very cute, very slow, very cozy, perfect for a nice fall read

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a cute, witchy book centering around three sisters who run a fortune-telling tearoom. After a visit from the Council of Witches, the sisters must work together in order to prevent a curse that will close their tearoom and separate them forever.

Overall, I liked the cozy atmosphere of this book, although I did find the pacing to be a little slow. I liked all of the sisters, but felt like it was a little hard to connect with them as we switch so much between them. I think if you are looking for a slower paced cozy mystery, you might like this one.

Thank you so much to the publisher and to NetGalley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley and Atria Books for this Advanced Reader Copy.

The author was going for cozy and she did succeed. The tale of triplets finding their own path in the world should be heartwarming, but unfortunately for me it just felt meh.

The pacing was slow and the characters never really developed which I attribute to having three protagonists. The conflict also did not make much sense. These sisters are extremely close and live in a sentient house, but all of a sudden they are lying to each other and sneaking around.

If you are looking for a quick cozy read then you may like this book.

This was the perfect cozy fall read and was my most anticipated read of the year!
The story of how the 3 sisters began finding their magic in the coziest of settings helped me relax with my own cup of tea!

This book is the most perfect thing to slip off summer’s hold and slip into the warm embrace of fall! It is a story of family, fate, and fantastic magic. I loved it!!

It was so cozy meeting the 3 Quigley sisters and their tearoom at Crescent House. This was the definition of cozy mystery, since it had everything you needed to get the heartwarming feeling inside. The connection between the Quigley sisters and how they owned a tearoom and stayed together, until the Council comes to pay a visit, it was interesting seeing the perspective of each sister, and how they were yearning to be their own person with their passions, but they were running the tearoom.

Sivinski does an amazing jobs at creating characters that will make you feel connected too. The Quigley sisters working together but wanting to take their own path, and coming to realize it, it truly is a pleasure to read Stacy’s work. I look forward to all the cozy neighborhoods she creates, and all the forthcoming work she creates, since Sivinsky is such a delight to read.

The E P I T O M E of a cozy Fall read🍂

The characters were perfection, the story was sooo cozy and I loved the wonderfully crafted familial moments (that felt like a warm hug OR CUP OF TEA 😉☕️🫖)💙✨

ARC REVIEW: The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacey Sivinski ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for the opportunity to read this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. The Crescent Moon Tearoom follows triplet witches - Anne, Beatrix and Violet, who own and operate a fortune-telling tearoom. Each sister finds themselves drawn to explore their own unique passions, as a mysterious force threatens to break the sisters apart forever.

I loved this book! It’s such a cozy fall story with such a witchy vibe. The different scents of teas and baked goods, sitting by the crackling fire at night - everything felt like fall! The 3 sisters live upstairs from their business and the house is truly the 4th character in the story. The house is very much alive, it reacts to the different conflicts the sisters face, and helps them keep the house in clean, working order. I adored the bond between the sisters and definitely related to their struggles with wanting life to remain stable and comfortable, while also wanting to pursue new passions and forge a unique path.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom will be published October 1st 2024! 🌙🫖

And if you see me trying to learn how to read tea leaves… mind your own business ✨

The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacy Sivinski is the perfect fall read, filled with warmth, magic, and a touch of mystery. At its heart, this story explores themes of sisterhood, love, and the journey to discovering one’s destiny.

The book follows triplet sisters Anne, Violet, and Beatrix, who run a tearoom in late 19th century Chicago. As witches, they soon discover they’re cursed, and their beloved tearoom, as well as their bond, is in jeopardy. Together, they must find a way to break the curse before their lives are torn apart.

The author has masterfully crafted a charming world of witches, one that invites you to wrap yourself in a blanket with a warm cup of apple cider. While the story may seem light on the surface, the sisters’ struggles to preserve their bond and their livelihood carry deep emotional weight. The narrative is not only cozy but also meaningful, making an impact beyond its initial whimsy.

I was fully immersed in this world, and I connected with all three sisters in different ways, but Beatrix stood out as my favorite. Overall, this book was a delightful, enchanting read, perfect for autumn, with its themes of togetherness and love of family.

Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for providing me with this charming and cozy read!

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book. It was a great cozy read to wind down with at the end of the day. That being said, I had to suspend my disbelief a lot during the novel as I couldn’t quite accept that the stakes in this book were high. The main theme of this book revolved around accepting fate or choosing your own destiny. I did not feel that the characters alternative choices that were presented were dire enough to warrant the turmoil that they Would experience. I appreciated the story and what it was saying, but I wanted there to be more to hook me into the book. I almost DNFed it because of this fact, but in the end it was a pleasant book.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom was the perfect cozy witchy book for the start of fall. The book follows 3 witch sisters Violet, Anne, and Beatrix as they navigate ownership of their fortune telling tea shop after the death of their parents. The triplets have never been apart but when a curse threatens to seperate them, they must do everything in their power to stop it and keep the shop open.

This book felt like a warm hug and a cozy cup of tea. I can not recommend it enough!

Series Info/Source: This is a stand alone book. I got an eGalley of this to review from NetGalley.

Thoughts: I struggled with this one. It is cute and cozy with some fun magic. However, it is just incredibly slow, and, by the end of it all, not much happens. The sisters felt two-dimensional to me and maybe that is because we switch between them so much we never really get to engage with any of them.

Since the death of their parents, three sisters (Anne, Beatrix, and Violet) have owned a teashop where they use their witchy powers to read customers' tea leaves. Unexpectidly the sisters are assigned a task by the Council of Witches that they must complete or else they will loose their tea shop. Amid all this stress, the three sisters are finding themselves pulled in very different directions. Anne wants to explore her growing seer powers, Beatrix has a story accepted by a publishing house and wants to pursue a career as a writer, and Violet develops a fondness for the circus as a budding trapeze artist.

I kept getting the feeling that the author was trying too hard to be cozy, the descriptions were over the top and the pace was just sooo slow. I like my coziness with a bit more story and the occasional urgent feeling.

All of the characters in here felt a bit bland and underdeveloped to me. They had one or two aspects of their character that were emphasized over and over. I also felt like the story took too long to get moving and was repetitive. We spend a ton of time with the sisters sneaking around each other and feeling guilty; rinse and repeat this over and over.

This was okay. The writing is easy to read and the story tied up decently. I just wish the characterization, story, and world-building had been...well...more.

My Summary (3/5): Overall this was a mediocre cozy fantasy that tries really hard to be cozy but forgets that readers need an engaging story and characters to go along with that. The characters were very two-dimensional, the story was repetitive and slow, and the end I was mostly bored by this. The writing did flow fine and was easy to read, and I did end up finishing this because it didn't take me a super long time to read. However, my predominent feeling by the end was "Well, happy to be done with that, it was so boring!" So, I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a book, if you want a deliberately paced cozy fantasy with some magic this might be the read for you...it wasn't for me though.
