I couldn't get enough of The Crescent Moon Tearoom when it came out last year. I loved the cozy, magical story of the Quigley sisters, and I ended up reading this book several times last fall. I was thrilled to discover that there was a sequel, and this book does not disappoint. The Witching Moon Manor has all of the cozy fantasy that I enjoyed in the first book while continuing the Quigley sister's journey. I loved seeing each of the sisters' stories continue as they worked together to find what was causing magical disturbances throughout the city. There was also a little more romance in this book that I adored. This book left me with happy tears, and I hope this is not the end of the Quigley sister's journey.

The Witching Moon Manor is out October 7th.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the opportunity to review The Witching Moon Manor. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Being back with Violet, Beatrix, and Anne again felt like catching up with an old friend. The Witching Moon Manor by Stacy Sivinski was just as cozy as her first novel. If you're looking for a book to snuggle up with on a rainy day, this book is for you. My favorite part about Stacy's books are her characters. Their personal growth and connections with each other always make my heart swell. If you're looking for a book with a lot of fast action and unpredictability, then this book is not for you. This book starts out slow, reintroducing us to what the sisters have been up to since we've seen them last. The plot really starts to pick up around 45% of the way through. Was this book predictable? 100%. Did I wish more happened and sooner? 100%. However, the feelings of nostalgia, love, and purpose are enough for me to recommend this book to lovers of The Crescent Moon Tearoom.

I loved the first book of this series, and the second did not disappoint. This book is just as cozy and sweet as it’s predecessor, and I adored the romances in this one. The sisters are just lovely, and Beatrix remains my favorite. Stacy Sivinski did a great job having them all remain true to their personalities and the growth they showed from the first book while giving them room to stumble and in the process open up even more. I think this could use a few more rounds of editing, but I have an ARC, so it stands to reason I will like it even more once it’s out.

Thank you to Atria for this ARC!

This book made me want to curl up with a hot cup of tea and get cozy. I really enjoyed The Crescent Moon Tearoom, but somehow I enjoyed this sequel even more. The Witching Moon Manor ties up the three paths chosen by the Quigley sisters and reminds us that even when a book comes to an end, the story never truly ends. In that vein, The Crescent Moon Tearoom's ending felt a bit like a happily ever after ending, while this book reminds us there are still struggles to overcome and that choosing a path is only the beginning. I appreciated all three of the sister's struggles when it came learning to trust themselves and move on from fears and past mistakes. The ending was very comforting and sweet.

Oh, I wanted to love this so much because the Crescent Moon Tearoom was one of my favorites last year. Unfortunately, this fell short for me, It was one of those experiences where i was constantly looking to see how much of the book I had left. The plotting seems extremely slow, even for a cozy fantasy, and I'm not convinced the characters have really moved forward that much. Maybe it was a timing issue and I should have held this to a witchier time of year.

After falling in love with The Crescent Moon Tearoom last year, I was so excited when chosen to receive an advanced copy of The Witching Moon Manor. The same beautiful writing style that flows naturally through the story continues with this second book in the series. I generally don’t read historical pieces, but the world that Stacy has built feels timeless. Descriptions of scents, rooms, and feelings are so easily visualized I will be completely shocked if these stories aren’t adapted into a movie. I find I want to pay attention to every word and not speed read. The story is so warm and inviting I want to sit with it and not hurry to finish it.

I adored the journey through The Witching Moon Manor. The story was unique and enchanting as you’d expect from Stacy, but never predictable. The final chapters in the book have me making wishes for the third story line and what the sisters will be up to next! This was my first time having an advanced copy and I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on the physical when it releases this fall to read it again!

A witching delight full of enchantment and mystery. The Quigley triplet witches are brought together by persona; disturbances in their magic. They unite to solve a Fate problem affecting the whole city. a very, very engaging and captivating story. I hope there will be more Quigley triplets stories to come.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A Spellbinding Return: "The Witching Moon Manor" Charms
Stacy Sivinski's "The Witching Moon Manor" is a delightful, heartfelt return to the magical world of the Quigley sisters. This second installment in "The Spellbound Sisters" series beautifully builds on "The Crescent Moon Tearoom," offering a story rich with warmth, sisterhood, and gentle magic.

Fans will love reuniting with Anne, Beatrix, and Violet as their individual paths – Diviner, author, circus performer – begin to converge back at the comforting Crescent Moon. Sivinski excels at crafting a cozy fantasy where magic seamlessly blends with everyday life, creating an inviting and believable world.

At its core, the novel celebrates family bonds. The Quigley sisters' dynamic is portrayed with honesty and affection, as they navigate new challenges and unexpected setbacks. Sivinski expertly weaves a narrative that is both comforting and compelling, even as new characters, like a charmingly frustrating necromancer, add intrigue and humor.

"The Witching Moon Manor" is more than just a magical tale; it's a testament to the power of love, resilience, and the enduring strength of family. This charming, uplifting, and utterly enchanting read will leave you with a sense of hope and the belief that some destinies are simply meant to be.

Thank you NetGalley for the Arc in exchange for my review.

This is the second book in the Spellbound Sisters series. And just as magical as the first book! I really enjoyed reading each of the Quigley sisters storylines, you get to know their personalities better and how they each grow and come together with the main storyline. Despite their time apart, their love and bond stays strong. I love how the enchanted house plays such a wonderful and fun role in the story as well! And then an enchanted book shop! I adored all the little life messages throughout the book with the tea readings, memories and dreams. This truly is a magnificent and magical read. Well done Stacy Sivinski!

📖 Bookish Thoughts
It was so nice being with the Quigley sisters! The Crescent Moon is so comforting and cozy! And this followup had that same warm and magical energy. Honestly the whole series has a whimsical feel to it!
I love that we get to see the journeys of each sister. I can't wait to continue the series!

Once again we step into the enchanting world of the Crescent Moon in The Witching Moon Manor by Stacy Sivinski. The Quigley sisters Anne, Violet and Beatrix have been off on their own paths learning and growing as individuals. The sisters once again come together in this second novel about magic, family and the power of trusting in one’s self.

The cozy, magical tearoom of the Crescent Moon is the type of setting that readers wish they could travel back and make a reservation for. The charming characters and their self discovery are endearing and well developed. I loved seeing how each sister became more confident and fulfilled.

Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for the advance copy of The Witching Moon Manor, all opinions are my own.

Like its predecessor, The Witching Moon Manor leans heavily into cozy fantasy—and while the coziness factor is very high (maybe even higher than Book 1), the pacing once again made it hard for me to stay engaged. It's slow-moving, and for much of the book, I found myself thinking, “nothing is happening.” I'm starting to realize that cozy fantasy may just not be my genre.

The plot had potential, but it ultimately felt frustrating and a bit contrived. A formerly beloved character is hinted at as a possible villain, but then he is…not. Without a clear antagonist or meaningful stakes, the story sort of fizzles out. While I appreciated the quiet charm and the beauty in the details—especially the sensory writing and the way everyone is described with distinct scents—I was left wanting more in terms of narrative momentum.

That said, the house is one of my favorite elements. I love stories where the setting becomes a character itself, and Sivinski gives the Quigley house a literal personality that adds a lot of magic to the atmosphere.

In terms of romance, I was especially hoping for development between Bea and Jennings. We get Violet’s romantic arc in Book 1 and Anne’s in this installment, so it felt natural for Bea’s to come next. But instead, she and Jennings are just suddenly together at the end without any build-up. It was disappointing and felt unearned. Vincent, a new addition to the cast, was the most compelling character to me. When he appeared, the book finally picked up pace—but even he didn’t get the depth or development I hoped for.

Though this is marketed as a standalone, I’d recommend reading the first book before this one to fully appreciate the ensemble cast and their relationships. If you’re looking for an ultra-cozy setting with low stakes and detailed world-building, this might be for you.

Thank you to NetGalley, Atria Books, and Stacy Sivinski for this free, advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to the publisher for the earc of this book!

Stacy Sivinski has yet again created a wonderfully cozy world to slip into. Just like the first book in the series, I love how this sequel explores themes of sisterhood, friendship, and what we owe to each other. I especially enjoyed the authors use of scent to draw out a unique kind of magic in this book.

The only critique I have is that, while this is marketed as a stand alone novel, I believe the first book needs to be read before this one in order to fully appreciate this new cast of characters.

This will be a perfect fall read when it comes out in October. Very exciting!!

4 ⭐️- The Quigley Sisters are back again in this sequel to the Crescent Moon Tearoom and this was a cute and cozy fantasy read! The sisters are back to help save the fate of their city and it is captivating. I enjoyed watching each sister embark on each of their own personal journeys, but also learn from their mistakes and lean on one another when it became difficult. I loved that all three characters developed in the time between the first and second book. Also, I enjoyed the romantic plots, each character perfectly made for the other. Every chapter made me fall more in love with the Crescent Moon and wished it was real…swoon for an enchanted home, am I right?! And the ending! It gave all the warm vibes I was hoping for.

** Thank you @netgalley and @atriabooks for the Advanced Copy in exchange for my honest review **

Absolutely atmospheric! Beautifully written and so enchanting! I adore books about witches and this one also had magical house and books and stories plus a mystery! Loved it and am thankful I was able to get lost in this arc I was given from NetGalley!

Being a fan of anything witches, and also loving my share of cozy fantasies, this series has yet to disappoint. It left me feeling nostalgic and made me call my sister right away. I will definitely be recommending this one!

This was a great follow up to the The Crescent Moon Tearoom! I especially loved the enchanted book store story, and the budding romances. I'm looking forward to more of the sisters and their magic.

Heartfelt, magical, and full of sisterly charm, this return to The Crescent Moon Tearoom is like a warm cup of tea on a stormy day. As the Quigley sisters face new doubts and old wounds, their bond—and a little help from fate—just might be the magic they need. It’s a cozy, enchanting tale of finding your way home when the future feels uncertain.

ARC Copy...If one is expecting cozy read that's like warm magic in a cup of tea and/or expecting something like the previous volume, readers won't be disappointed with this sequel. It was interesting to see the sisters in focus again.

I’d say it’s more on the slow side but if you enjoy cozy fantasies then this is up your alley!
Felt a little to low stakes for me which sort of took away from it and a little too slow at times but if you’ve got patience and love a good ending then this is for you!
