This book would be considered “cozy fantasy” because there aren’t any high stakes involved and there’s no violence.

This was just a very simple story about three sister witches who run a tearoom together reading tea leaves for humans and other witches. One day, the witches council assigns them a very difficult series of tasks and threatens to take their tearoom away from them if they don’t succeed. They also discover a curse that threatens to separate the sisters, and they must find a way to prevent it from coming true.

The way the plot comes together wasn’t my favorite. One sister wants to be a novelist, one is weirdly obsessed with a Circus, and the other is like trying to hold them hostage to prevent the curse from happening.

There is minimal romance and a fun twist or two, but overall,

Thank you to Atria for my ARC!

3.75⭐️ A comfy, cozy read! This was a great book about the balance of life. You meet triplet sisters who are running their family tearoom after the tragic death of their mother. A close friend informs them that they have a curse placed on them and if they expect to break the curse, they must stay together. The book follows the sister's journey to try and break the curse. Problem is, can they stay together while still being their own person or will staying together jeopardize who they are as individuals? It was very heartwarming to see the sisters figure out what it takes to have it all. Feel good with some witchy vibes! Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC copy. This is my honest review.

Crescent Moon Tearoom is a cozy fantasy about witches who are identical triplets. They own the tearoom together in Chicago and read their customers' tea leaves. The house/tearoom is sentient and will change aspects of the house based on the sisters' feelings and activities.

The council of witches tells the sisters they must help three other witches discover their tasks in life. If they don't complete the job, they lose the tearoom. While they are on this assignment, the sisters start to have different interests and grow apart. They keep their interests from each other which creates a divide among them.

Overall, this book was easy to read but did not keep my attention very well. I feel like there was not much happening with the sisters and I got bored.

Thank you to Atria Books for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

If you like enchanted houses, magical sisters (bonus, they’re triplets!), and cozy mysteries, this may be the perfect fall read for you.

I love that this book feels like the stories of each sister are seamlessly interwoven with the bonus of the enchanted house being sentient and feeling like another character.

Sisters Violet, Anne, and Beatrix are tasked with helping three witches from their coven discover their lives’ most important tasks while being manipulated by a council of three powerful witches set on seeing them fail. Each of the sisters are being pulled in different directions, keeping secrets from one another other.

Their stories are intricately woven throughout the book, resulting in a wonderfully cozy tale perfect for a fall read.

I read an advance copy of this book and am sharing a review voluntarily

This book had a lot going on. I do wish that it was structured differently, because I felt that the story ended rather abruptly. I think that the cozy, fantasy vibes were present, I just wanted more to the build up of the twist and the resolution.

Thank you to Netgalley and Atria Books for the opportunity to read and review The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacy Sivinski. All opinions are my own.

In the Crescent Moon Tearoom we have three very close sisters that run an actual tearoom. Patrons from all over the city fight for reservations to this tearoom not only for the atmosphere and tea, but to have their futures read. These sisters come from a long line of witches. Life is going well until the council of witches arrive to ask the sisters to do a task for them. This task is only the beginning with the sisters being drawn down different paths. Will the sisters be pulled apart? Will the tearoom continue on? You'll need to read to find out.

This book is the ultimate cozy fantasy. The atmosphere and vibes are worth the read alone. The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a heartwarming tale with delightful characters. If you like easy going plots with lots of sisterly love, this one is for you. The Crescent Moon Tearoom is now available at all major book retailers. Happy Reading!!

such a cute cozy fantasy to add to your fall TBR

written with a nice even pace that kept me engaged and enchanted. really enjoyed the atmosphere and characters. I wish we got more mystery and magic but I really I really enjoyed this read

I am new to the cozy fantasy genre but it’s quickly become one of my favorites. This was a perfect cozy fantasy for spooky seasons. Having two sisters myself, I loved that aspect of the book. I loved how similar the sisters were but were also their own person. Definitely will be recommending this one to others!

Anne, Violet, and Beatrix are sisters and witches that own the Crescent Moon Tearoom. They spend their days reading tea leaves and using their magic to read their customers’ future. In true literary juxtaposition, the Quigley sisters are about to find that the future they thought was written- is in fact not. Add in a magical house, a Witches’ Council with an agenda, and a curse, and you have a perfectly seasonal story that, at its heart, is about how to let go and still hold on.

Despite the little bow wrapped around this sister story, I’m really hoping it’s not the last adventure for these three. I’m so invested in their story and I want more House! @stacy_sivinski I’d love to read what happens next. Big fan.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a sweet, magical, witchy story about sister's and fate. While the story was enjoyable, I had trouble truly becoming engrossed and engaged. Certainly had some interesting characters, just not my cup of tea perhaps (😉).

This was the coziest of cozy fantasy books. This isn't my typical genre; however, I thoroughly enjoyed this story about triplet witches who find out what's important to each of them as they're faced with curses and other challenges at their tea room.

It was also great to hear the author speak locally about her debut novel when it launched last week!

This was a cozy and atmospheric fantasy book, however, I had some issues with the actual plot. This story is about three sisters who are witches that find out that there may be a curse that will separate them. They are so incredibly close and run a tearoom together where they live peacefully, but there’s this looming threat that starts making them paranoid. Further, there is a witch counsel that is asking them to complete tasks that are impossible for most witches, and if they don’t succeed they’ll shut down their tearoom.

This plot had quite a few moving parts but my biggest issue is that it didn’t make a ton of sense. At times, this felt like a hostage situation because the eldest sister seemingly didn’t approve of the other two sisters having their own lives separate from each other. I found this uncomfortable to read and concerning. This truthfully eliminated some of the “coziness” I was initially feeling.

All in all, I think this was mostly a pleasant read and felt serene. I liked some of the twists and the ending was lovely. I just wish the plot was a little more thoughtful in how it was executed.

Thank you NetGalley and Atria for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I found this book to be whimsical and fun. The writing style drew me in from the very beginning, and the cozy witchy vibes were exactly my cup of tea (pun intended).

Thank you Atria Books for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved this book! It's the perfect read for the beginning of fall. The title and cover of The Crescent Moon Tearoom instantly drew me in. The story follows the three Quigley sisters, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet, as they embark on a journey of self-discovery and learn that change, although uncomfortable, is necessary. I adored the portrayal of the sisters' relationship and the idea that allowing each individual to grow and flourish is essential for true love and connection.

The author's vivid descriptions made me feel like I could taste and smell the teas, biscuits, and treats mentioned in the book. I found myself torn between finishing the book and heading to the kitchen to bake my own treats and brew some tea! The inclusion of tasseography at the beginning of each chapter piqued my interest and inspired me to do some research outside of the book. Even the house itself was a loveable character!

Although the book has a cozy and fantastical feel, it also touches on realistic aspects of self-discovery and sisterhood. Reading it felt like a journey of growing up, where we cherish our childhood memories with nostalgia, often unaware that new memories and experiences will soon become new sources of nostalgia. Overall, it was the epitome of coziness, I wanted to be a part of their world, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

🌙 The Crescent Moon Tearoom - Stacy Sivinski

4.25 ⭐️ - This book was so magical and easy to fall in love with. Sister-ship, magic, and mysterious tasks fill the pages with excitement. I so needed this book right now and i’m SO happy I picked it up to start October.

This book was magical (obviously), cozy, and whimsical. I loved the storyline with all of the sisters but I enjoyed that each sister had their own story and path too. I loved learned about how their magic helps and hurts them in their life and seeing how eventually each sister grew into her own being. AND don’t even get me started on the house being its own character. This was a quick read for me. It was easy to keep the sisters straight and their stories kept me engaged. I honestly wanted more. I definitely recommend this one if you’re looking for a cozy fall, witchy vibes, feel good read!

No book says "Jackie" like a book about tea and witches. A family curse is trying to separate Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley, witch triplets run the Crescent Moon Tearoom. When the witch counsel comes for a visit, the sisters are given an ultimatum. They must help three witches find their life's purpose before it's too late and only then can they stay together and keep their beloved tearoom.

The sisters each have ideas on how to help the other witches but they also feel themselves being pulled apart. Is the pull away from each other a curse or their destiny?


This magical book gave me the same feeling as The Night Circus. Sivinski's writing is so descriptive, that I felt the words coming off the page. The house is one of my favorite characters with a personality that made me laugh and despite the fact that the sisters were triplets, their personalities were completely distinct.

The Crescent Moon Tea Room is a delightfully cozy and charmingly heartwarming read centered on a trio of witchy sisters who are all at turning points in their lives. Given a serious task by the power witch council of Chicago, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley must work together to complete their mission while resisting the various temptations that threaten their sisterly bonds.

I enjoyed every second of this story; it’s the perfect curl up with a cup of tea and snuggle under a cozy blanket fall read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

3.75 stars.

A fun, warm-hearted story about witches, sisters/sisterhood, and magic. The sisters were very likeable, the magic interesting, and the setting was well-described; the house itself was a character and I could see it and the tearoom in my mind.

An easy to read, likeable story about family that makes a perfect, cozy, witchy read for fall.

Thanks to the publisher for this complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

After losing their parents, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley run a magical teashop, where every cup of tea reveals a story. But everything shifts when the Council of Witches arrives with unsettling news—the city Diviner has lost her powers.

As Anne’s magic grows stronger, Beatrix’s writing gets noticed by a big publisher, and Violet is drawn to the circus and a charming trapeze artist. Their once close-knit paths begin to diverge, and a family curse seems to be driving them apart.

If you’re looking for a witchy, autumn read that’s not centered on romance, this is the perfect pick. The Quigley sisters’ teashop is a cozy little haven, but when the Council of Witches steps in, their lives take unexpected turns. This heartfelt story of sisterhood beautifully explores how personal dreams can change family bonds. It’s sweet, sad, heartwarming, and nostalgic, leaving me full of hope.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC! 📚☕️🍁🧙‍♀️

if you’re looking for the coziest book to go with your warm cup of tea, this is it!

📖 stacy sivinski’s debut novel is about three clairvoyant sisters who find out they are cursed to be pulled apart. as their lives slowly begin untangling from each other, fate starts to threaten their tea reading business and their sisterhood

this was such a charming tale right off the bat. at its heart this has such an endearing message that serves as a reminder that your path is always changing 🤎 i just found myself wanting a little bit more the whole time!

i think the book’s biggest downfall was its lack of focus. there are three main characters, two major conflicts that are seemingly unrelated, and not a ton of development in the magic system. the plot had potential in the beginning but anytime a something big was revealed toward the end, it was followed up by an explanation because there were so many loose threads in the storytelling

sivinski immediately captures the sisters’ relationships — quips, nagging and all — so well! i wish i had more time with them all together, i didn’t feel any of the rising tension that was mentioned because they hardly worked together. i know they were on finding themselves as individuals, but it ended up feeling like three separate stories that got patched together in the third act

even though it was slow at times and could’ve used more development, i think this is begging to be adapted into a movie. the prose is honestly so enchanting, and there’s something so nostalgic about the writing style that it feels like you’re reading a classic fairytale ✨ i could see it coming to life so easily on the big screen!
