Perfect for fall! A super cozy sweet and fun read for spooky season! I loved all three sisters- how different they were in their magic and personality. I thought that the story line and what they were challenged with was engaging and fun.

Loved this story! Three "witches" who find the true value of friendship and sisterhood through this enchanting story.

I thought this book was very cute and was an interesting/light read. I liked that it had magic in it without being overtly fantasy. I liked that you were able to get the full story from 3 different perspectives, though sometimes the switch between POV was not as seamless and the transition of time was choppy sometimes as well.

To be honest, I read this book back and August and honestly thought I had already written/published the review for it but it somehow slipped between the cracks and I don't remember enough to add a thorough/in-depth review.

Thank you to Stacy Savinski & Atria books for allowing me the opportunity to read the book early. Apologies on the delayed review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

The Crescent Tea Room is a quick cozy fantasy set in 1800s Chicago. I loved the setting and could easily picture where everything was in the city. I liked the premise of the story but it almost felt too low stakes when the central point of the story was potentially losing their magic. I also felt like the the three main characters, Violet, Anne, and Beatrix were interchangeable, they didn’t feel distinct enough for me to clearly see why they felt the way they did and why they were motivated to make the choices they did.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel. All opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I did enjoy this story of sisters and family. However, I felt at times as soon as the story picked up, something pulled me out of it. I connected with each sister, but wished that I knew more of their stories. I wanted more about Violet and Emil specifically.

A cozy fantasy that grabs you in on the first page! Witches, tea and sisterhood - all of my favorite things. I would definitely recommend this book if you're looking for a low-stakes, fantasy on a cold October evening!

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a wonderful read! According to the author, she is not a word weaver, but her own book contradicts her: Stacy Sivinski is a witch and her specialty is creating captivating stories!
I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.
I thank the author and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I received this book for free from netgalley for an honest review. Thank you for the opportunity.
A perfect magical read with a wonderful cast and unforgettable characters.

I picked this book of in the hopes of finding something cozy for fall but it was a bad fit for me. It’s a story about a family of witches that own a tea shop and predict people’s futures. It’s a slow burn whimsical story that is heavy on witch lore and magical creatures. The book is overly descriptive and talks a lot about how the house feels. There is also a time traveling cat. This book will appeal to a lot of people but it just wasn’t a good fit for me.

Thank you to netgalley for a copy of this book.

Lighthearted and sweet story of sisters finding their own ways in the world and following their hearts. I liked the magical ideas but was a bit disappointed in the overly simplistic story telling. Good for a light, cozy read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy. These opinions are my own.

*The Crescent Moon Tearoom* is a cozy, heartfelt story about family, secrets, and self-discovery. Set in a magical tea shop, the novel follows three sisters as they each embark on personal journeys that eventually bring them closer together. The tearoom’s charming ambiance, complete with tea readings and a touch of magic, adds an enchanting layer to the story, making it a delight to read. While Violet’s romance felt a bit rushed and Beatrix’s path sometimes stretched believability, the deep character development and intriguing plot kept me thoroughly engaged. Overall, it’s a sweet, uplifting read that blends warmth, mystery, and family bonds beautifully.

This was most certainly a cozy magical mystery. Three witch sisters own a tearoom and women from all over the city flock there to have their tea leaves read. The tearoom is adorable. There are biscuits, scones, cookies and other baked goods all made from scratch in the kitchen. The house is magical and has quite the personality of its own. The Witch Council of the city, give the sisters an ultimatum ~ discover the tasks of three witches about to be in the in-between or lose their precious tearoom. We begin to the women fighting against their own dreams and each other. We join them on their journey as they attempt to figure out the three task and discover who they each are, independent of the others. To be completely honest, it was really slow. The coziness couldn't rescue it for me. There wasn't enough umph to keep and hold my interest. I was a little bored. But it was cute. If you're in the mood for cozy, this could be the one for you.

🌎Setting: Chicago, IL 1870s

Genre: Historical Fantasy, Adult Fic, Magical Realism, Mystery, Paranormal

Tropes: witches, sisterhood, quest/self-discovery, magic, hidden secrets, sentient/haunted house

☝🏾POV: 3rd person, single -Anne

⚠️TW: death of parents, grief, betrayal

💭Summary: The Quigley sisters Anne, Beatrix, and Violet are clairvoyant triplets who run a teashop. They are fortune tellers for high society women who come to them for tea and treats. When the Witch Council comes to them with a seemingly impossible task-to help three elderly witches find their "Tasks" or true callings. If they fail to complete this favor, the witches will die and linger as spirits for eternity, and they will be forced to close the teashop.

🚺 Heroine: Anne-the oldest, more powerful than her sisters as a seer. A mother figure to other sisters.
🚺 Heroine: Beatrix- a shy, writer/reader-submits a story to publishing house. Plans to write a book by the end of Sept.
🚺 Heroine: Violet- has purple eyes and has her head in the clouds

🎭Side cast:

• Katherine McCulloch-their mother's close friend, cast curses/hexes/blessings. Tells Anne they are cursed to separate from each other.

• The Witch Council-their job is to maintain order and keep magic a secret. Hester, Isaac, Nathanial, Celeste-no longer a member, MIA

• Capricious Crowley-an old witch with death magic needing to find his Task. Dislikes tea and can't eat treats. I loved his side story.

• Emil-the trapeze artist at Lakeshore circus who attracts Violet.

• James Stuart-Executive Editor @ Donohoe & Company who wants to publish Beatrix's story at Donohoe & Company

• Clara Quigley-their mother who was a Diviner but fell in love with a human and forfeited her position with the Witch Council. She doesn't tell the sisters their actual birth date but it's the only day they can see their own futures. She left the girls her diary.

• John Jennings-the editor's assistant, crush on Beatrix?

• Fiona Pickwix-a garden witch who breeds flowers that give good fortune when they bloom.

• Joseph Gunderson-a winter witch who saves pine trees set for logging in Wisconsin

• Tabitha-their time travelling cat that has been passed down through generations

🤔My Thoughts: I identified with Beatrix the most as a nearsighted, bespectacled, shy, reader. I hesitate all the time, and never believe my ideas are good enough to share-except here, I guess. Anne was the leader as the oldest took care of everyone else, so I forgave her for wanting to be selfish. She held herself back magically to keep her sisters together when fate had other plans. Violet was distracted, hated being stuck in one place, and saw the circus as an opportunity for adventure. Emil saw a kindred spirit in her and welcomed her into his world with open arms. This was light, cozy, witchy tale of sisters who learn not to fear following their dreams.

Range of emotions: 😬🤔🙄

❤️: Couple 3/5 Violet and Emil-I wanted to know more about Emil
⭐: Rating 4/5

Cute, cozy, and sweet are the words that come to mind when I think about the “The Crescent Moon Tearoom” by Stacy Sivinski. The story revolves around three sisters, triplets, who given a series of task to complete in order to keep their business while fighting a curse and trying to pursue their own dreams and passions.

The story is slow paced and not the most exciting or action filled but it’s a great book for a lazy fall day that is in need a comforting wholesome read.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacy Savinski is an enchanting tale of the Quigley triplets. Anne, Beatrix and Violet are seers who open a tearoom where they read the futures of their patrons. All seems to be going well and according to plan when the Council of Witches ask them to accomplish what seems an impossible task. On top of running the tearoom and helping the Council, the sisters begin to feel magically pulled away from each other and their duties towards other interests. Losing sight of themselves while trying to remain together the sisters experience lots of guilt and tension. The story wraps up nicely, with the sisters solving what is really going on behind the scenes.

I really enjoyed this book, but will say it is slow to start and there are a lot of unnecessary cliffhangers in the beginning because they’re usually explained in the next chapter. The writing was enjoyable and magical in itself.

I look forward to more of Stacy Savinski’s books!

The Crescent Moon Tearoom has all the ingredients for a cozy autumn read, with its charming tearoom setting and seasonal vibes. It’s easy to picture yourself nestled up with a cup of tea while reading. However, the writing style didn’t quite grab me, making it a bit harder to connect with the story and characters. Despite that, it’s still a great pick for readers looking for a gentle, fall-themed escape.

Thank you to Stacy Sivinski, Atria Books, and NetGalley for sending me the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Who to recommend this to: readers looking for cozy fantasy books, readers that liked Encanto and Howl's moving castle and hallmark movies.
I liked the writing style and I look forward to future books by this author; it wouldn't surprise me if future books are in the same "world" as this one.

4/5 stars

A wholesome read that had a strong theme around family and the secrets you may feel you need to keep from them.

In this book we follow 3 sisters who need to work together for the greater good but find themselves each on their own path of self discovery.

What I really enjoyed about this book:
- Following the 3 sisters POV. I really enjoyed that we got to explore each sisters plot line in depth. It let the importance of the themes meld together in the end because I was thoroughly invested in each character individually.
- The setting being in a tea shop was absolutely magical and done perfectly. I found myself really enjoying the time we spent inside the shop and all of the workings around tea readings and magic.
- The plot kept me engaged and made the reading experience seamless. I think the plot had an integral part of this cozy story and I think it had enough mystery to keep readers interested.

Things that did not quite work for me:
- The way the sisters "paths" came to flourish. (more so Violet and Beatrix) I felt that the love interest with Violet felt too insta lovey, rushed and maybe even a bit creepy. Where as I found Beatrix's story line a little bit unrealistic (yet I really enjoyed how her story line came together at the end)

Overall this book tugged at my heartstrings and had me smiling. The setting of the tea shop made for a very cozy read and while there was a lot of sweet moments it still had a good plot line that kept me interested.

Thank you to NetGalley, Stacy Sivinski, and Atria Books for this e-book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a must read for your fall TBR if you like witches, practical magic, Hocus Pocus, and all things magical.

With the power of 3 these sisters (Violet, Anne, and Beatrix) are running a Tearoom. But as they are finding out their own magical talents are surfacing and threatening to tear them apart. As 3 single females in Chicago they are already looked at funny for running a business and not settling down, but these sisters do not care and are doing whatever it takes to stay together even when it's tearing them further apart.

I enjoyed the feminine presence and voice, the self-discovery, sisterhood, and magic. This story does run from spring to fall so you will get the autumnal feels and a lot of practical magic vibes. It's an easy read told in multiple POV.

This is not my typical read but what a nice book to read in between heavy books. I would definitely recommend something like this to get you out of a reading slump.
It requires a cup of tea, and a cozy blanket before you dig in. If you want something light and a little magical with strong cottage core vibes I’d add this to your list. A very light hearted read.
