One Liner: Read book #1 first!

The expansion has done Crescent Moon Tearoom much good. The place is thriving with the three sisters (triplets) moving on with their respective lives. However, Beatrix is worried she has lost her gift of storytelling. Violet is troubled by an incident at the circus. Anne is leading the city’s witches as Chicago’s Diviner and has much to deal with.
Once again, the Quigley triplets have to lean on one another and the Crescent Moon to sort out the issues and become who they are destined to be.
The story comes in the third-person POVs of the sisters and the omnipresent POV of the house.

My Thoughts:
I was delighted to find out that The Crescent Moon Tearoom would have a sequel, and we would get to meet the triplets again. When I got a widget for a book that’s not exactly my genre, I decided to try my luck by asking for this one. My thanks to the person who responded with a widget in just a few hours!
Although the book is being marketed as a standalone, I recommend starting with the first one. We don’t receive much background information, so you need to know what certain terms mean. Also, the character arcs continue from the previous book.
The house is my favorite once again, and this time, there might be more than one such building! Its ideas for expansion are rather cute and funny. Imagine living in a house that decides to add a couple of rooms when you are asleep!
This book is cozier and feels like it has much lower stakes. Yes, there is still a massive threat that needs to be averted. But the narration and pacing take the edge off the urgency. You cannot rush through the book. You have to let it lead it at its own pace. This may make it slower and boring in the middle. I didn’t mind since I knew a similar thing had happened in the previous book.
The initial setup takes quite a while. One of the main characters (a new entry) is not properly introduced until quarter way through. Once we meet the character, things get better. I do wish the arc was a bit more layered.
Scents and teas are once again intrinsic to the narrative. Every chapter starts with a tiny symbol and its interpretation, which aligns with the content. I love these little bits of knowledge, though I don’t know how much I would actually remember!
The book deals with themes like sibling bonds, family and relationships, learning to seek help, relying on loved ones, forgiveness (self and others), and remembering that passion for what we love cannot become a dead weight around the neck. It’s a reminder to accept help, to take a breather, and to accept that mistakes happen.
The ending is beautiful and hopeful. Did I want a bit more development in certain tracks? Yes! However, I still got what I hoped for, so I can’t complain much. A little more depth and structuring would have helped, though.

To summarize, The Witching Moon Manor is a cozy and warm continuation of the story of the Quigley sisters and how they handle the new changes in their lives. It is a slower and gentler novel, so pick it up when you want something soothing and touching.
Thank you, NetGalley, the person from SS Marketing, and Atria Books, for the eARC. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book.

I purposely saved this book for cooler weather and I’m so glad I did! It’s a deligfully cozy read. Being reunited with the Quigley sisters felt like being wrapped up in a warm hug by old friends.

This is the second book in the Spellbound Sisters series and while it could be a standalone, you should absolutely read The Crescent Moon Tea Room first. It'll help you appreciate this story and its characters so much more.

The sisters have this wonderful dynamic where they balance each other while still maintaining their own personalities. Since the last book, they seem to be on equal footing and feel more like a team which truly helps them solve the mystery of how to stop the magical disturbances.

Though Anne, Beatrix and Violet's paths have diverged, they all seem to be struggling with what comes next. But when they’re reunited back at home, they're able to support each other as they embrace who they're meant to be.

There's a little bit more romance in this book and it’s nice to see the sisters find happiness at the end of the story. I desperately hope we get more adventures with these characters!

I was super excited to dive into this sequel after loving the first book, and Stacy Sivinski absolutely delivered! “The Witching Moon Manor” captures all the cozy, magical fall vibes I was hoping for and more.
This witchy adventure with the Quigley sisters is pure magic from start to finish. Sivinski masterfully weaves together enchanting themes of self-doubt, trust, and grief while highlighting the incredible importance of sisterhood and having a strong support system. The character development feels so authentic and heartfelt.
What I loved most was how this book embraces all the best fall vibes - you can practically smell the autumn leaves and feel the crisp air while reading. The magical elements are perfectly balanced with real emotional depth, making this the ideal cozy read for anyone who loves witchy stories.
I honestly didn’t want to leave this enticing and enchanting world. When I reached the final page, I was genuinely sad the book had ended - which is always the mark of an exceptional story. Sivinski has created something truly special with these characters and their magical world.
Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, witchy vibes, and stories about the unbreakable bonds between sisters. Highly recommend!

I was delighted to return to the world of the Quigley triplets, witches who own the Crescent Moon Tearoom. This cozy tearoom is a place where ladies can learn about their futures while partaking in tea and pastries near a crackling fire.

Anne has been embracing her new role as the city’s Diviner, Beatrix has been on tour promoting her books and Violet has been flying high on a trapeze with the circus. Both Beatrix and Violet are drawn home to help Anne solve a mystery that they hope will end the strange incidents that have started happening in the city.

I fell in love with the sisters as well as their lovely sentient home during the first book and it was a comforting place to return. I was delighted that we are introduced to an enchanted bookshop as well as an intriguing manor home.

If you love cozy mysteries featuring witches, I heartily recommend this beautifully written book as a perfect winter read. It would be a bonus to read with a steaming pot of tea and something sweet to nibble on.

This book was kindly provided to me through the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this book. I loved the first book and this one did not disappoint!

Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest review. This book is such a lovely read to dive into right now—September is here, the fall vibes are rolling in, and this story fits the season perfectly. It’s cozy, witchy, and a great choice if you’re looking for something different from the light, breezy summer reads. While it’s the second in a series, it works well as a standalone. It’s a fun, quick read that I think many will truly enjoy!

A Comforting Escape Full of Magic and Heart 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This cozy fantasy was like a warm hug in book form. From the very first chapter, I was drawn into a gentle, enchanting world filled with charm, quiet magic, and characters that felt like dear friends. It’s the kind of story that doesn’t rely on epic battles or high-stakes drama, but instead finds its strength in kindness, growth, and small everyday wonders.

Thank you to Atria and NetGalley for the ARC!

Plot: The Quigley sisters have gone their separate ways pursuing their passions. But when they all come together at the Tea Room again, they discover that they have a task to complete to keep fate from unraveling.

Review: I really liked this! I think I liked the first half of the book better than the second, as the storyline became a little hard to follow. But as with the first, the setting was cozy, the sisters were distinct and lovable, and the adventure was hard to put down!

The Witching Moon Manor by Stacy Sivinski

Rating: 3.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Thank you to Atria Books, Netgalley, and the author for access to this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

The Witching Moon Manor is part of The Spellbound Sisters series and is the second book in the series. The story features magic, emotional depth, and a crisis that the sisters had to overcome. The story does a fantastic job at mixing mystery with the sisters’ personal journeys, making the plot feel authentic and cozy.

The Crescent Moon was recently expanded and is thriving. Anne leads the witches in the city, Beatrix is on a book tour, and Violet is a part of the circus. Despite their different paths, the Quigley sisters go back home to spend some time in each other’s company. Anne, Beatrix, and Violet are all struggling on their new paths and the future feels uncertain for them. Then, things begin to unravel and they must team up with a magician to save the city. As they embark on a journey of bargaining with fate again, they discover that they need to have the courage to embrace the future.

Overall, this is definitely an enjoyable book! It was great to see how the sisters were open and honest with each other as they navigated both their own struggles and their journey of saving the city. The story was a bit slow at times and at times it can be difficult to connect with the characters, but the cozy fantasy vibes were impeccable!

4.25/5 🌟

When a witch’s task is left unfinished when they pass it causes a disturbance. The more powerful the witch, the larger the disturbance. When a powerful witch passes away with their task unfinished, the Quigley sisters must help determine how to set things right before the strings of fate become too tangled.

I definitely enjoyed this book more than the first book! I liked that the sisters were more open with each other this time. This story focused more on battling their inner conflicts and opening up to people who can become important parts of their lives. I loved the chapters where Anne was trying to work out how to complete the witch’s task because there was something so breathtaking about the way they were described!

Very curious to see if there will be more books with the Quigley sisters!

If you enjoy cozy fantasy about sister’s struggling to find their own paths I’d recommend going back and reading book 1 of the series, The Crescent Moon Tea Room!

A cozy, witchy, mystical read with a touch of romantic tension! 3.5 stars!

This story follows three sisters- Anne, Violet and Beatrix.
The sisters are witches and have recently found themselves with a new challenge at hand. They must complete the life task of another witch who has passed away, in order to stop his magic from causing strange happenings around the city and exposing the magic world.
They do this while each grappling with their own unique life problems.

This book is part of a series, and is second to the title “The Crescent Moon Tearoom”. While I have yet to read book one, it did not really impact my ability to understand this one. Though, I do think it would be good to read the first one to get a bit more background information on the characters and to build more of a connection to them!

I thought that this story was okay!
It was cute, and I really liked the mystical feeling. It has very similar vibes to the 90’s television show “Charmed”.
If you like cozy, magical fantasy this one might be for you! This would probably be a good winter read.
I also really liked the romantic tensions we encountered with a few of the sisters! I would be quite interested to see how things play out for them, and if they're all able to get their happy endings.

With this being said, I did not personally connect with any of the characters that much, which sort of effected my ability to enjoy to the story. None of the three sisters really stuck out to be as having really unique personalities.
I also thought the the story was also a bit too slow.
I think what would have made this a lot more enjoyable for me- would be the addition of more ghostly happenings/communications. (I think I just tend to lead more toward stories with a heavier paranormal theme.)

I do however see the potential in it, and I would give it a try if you really love cozy magic.

4.5/5 ⋆｡°✩

I. LOVED. THIS. Stacy Sivinski has created such a magical world that I hope continues! I really enjoyed reading the first book, The Crescent Moon Tearoom, earlier this year, so getting the chance to read the sequel early was such a delight! The cozy atmosphere and lovable characters kept me coming back at any chance I could get to finish this story.
The Witching Moon Manor follows the Quigley Sisters on their continued journey to finding themselves as they each take their own path while saving their community from a magical disruption (they unintentionally played a part in starting). The continuity between book 1 and book 2 was soooo seamless that it made it easy to fall back into this world without wondering what had happened in between the two stories.
We really get to explore the magic system further and see the extent of each sister's powers on top of the struggles they're facing as they navigate a new chapter as individuals. Anne is a major focus (again), but I absolutely LOVED Beatrix's POV. Each character has such a distinct voice that it's easy to tell who we're following within a sentence or two. Every time I got back to Bea's POV, I was so excited to see where she would go next and how her story would progress. Watching not only Bea but each sister learn to trust themselves and their abilities was heartwarming and kept me sucked into the story. I do wish we had seen more of Violet and Bea's relationships develop further in this story, but I can appreciate the focus being on their individual development and learning more about their powers.

I will definitely be picking up more from Sivinski in the future! If you enjoy a cozy fantasy with an interesting magic system and lovely characters, I highly recommend this duology (series maybe?? hopefully!)!

Thank you Netgalley, Stacy Sivinksi, and Atria books for an E-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Sivinski masterfully weaves a spellbinding story about the Quigley sisters, their struggles to find their place, and the powerful bond of sisterhood that draws them back to the warm comfort of The Crescent Moon.

Just like with her first novel, I was completely enchanted from the first page. This book is rich with magic, emotion, and a high-stakes challenge that had me on the edge of my seat. I’m a huge fan of this author!!!

The way the sisters must confront their pasts while forging new paths, all while teaming up with a certain infuriatingly charming necromancer, makes for a truly unforgettable read. This is a five-star tale of destiny and self-discovery that I highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for a temporary e-ARC!

A cute read that felt like perfect timing with the changing of the seasons. 3 sister witches on a mission to put things right. Each character was dynamic with their own personality, and the sisters came together well as a supportive and loving trio!

Thank you Atria and NetGalley for the ARC!

The Witching Moon Manor is a cozy follow-up to the first Spellbound Sisters book. I received this book in exchange for a review, and I really enjoyed returning to the world of the Quigley sisters. The story mixes magical mysteries with the sisters’ personal challenges, making their relationships feel real and warm. The pacing is a little slow at times, but the lovable characters and comforting atmosphere make up for it.

The Witching Moon Manor by Stacy Sivinski is the second book in The Spellbound Sisters series which brings the Quigley sisters back together at The Crescent Moon. They continuing their magical journey with all the cozy fantasy charm of book one. Each sister has come into her own, and I loved watching their stories intertwine as they worked to uncover the source of magical disturbances in the city. The added romance was sweet and gave the story a comforting warmth. This is a great book for a fall read that blends charm, mystery, and sisterhood.The world expands beautifully with vivid descriptions, and the characters remain as lovable and engaging as ever the story is magical and whimsical in all the best ways.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced reader copy. This is my honest review.

This is such a gentle, cozy follow-up to The Crescent Moon Tearoom. The Quigley sisters are back and must work together to complete a mystical Task left behind by a friend. One that, if left unfinished, threatens to unravel reality itself. Along the way, each sister must confront her own personal fears and inner obstacles. The story is not just a magical adventure, but a heartfelt journey of growth and connection.

Sivinski’s prose is filled with warmth and softness, weaving descriptions that make the tearoom, the manor, and even the Chicago winter feel like a comforting escape. I especially love how she weaves in the scents, giving the whole atmosphere dimension. The enchanted bookshop is especially adorable and I found myself wishing more of the story had unfolded there.

While the pacing occasionally feels uneven and there is some repetition, the emotional depth, endearing characters, and cozy charm more than make up for it. This is a great read for those who enjoy character-driven magical stories with some introspection and a lot of heart. Its perfect for curling up on the couch with a mug of tea and a cozy blanket!

I was so happy to receive an ARC of Stacy Sivinski's latest novel! Fans of the Quigley sisters will be happy to return to the cozy warmth of the Crescent Moon Tearoom and its inhabitants.
I loved that the sisters - Anne, Beatrix and Violet - were consistent in their personalities from the first book, but also still flawed within this new story. Each sister is forced to battle unseen enemies like guilt and fear of the future. They were all so human that the story was a pleasure to read.
The writing itself is also fantastic. While the plot did drag from time to time, the prose perfectly emulates the coziness of a teahouse like Crescent Moon. The story was nicely brought to a close as well, and my fingers are crossed for another novel! Thank you so much to NetGalley and Atria Books for the eARC!

I loved being back with the Quigley sisters!

The tearoom has been expanded, which means Anne is busier than ever. Especially when you add being the city's Diviner into the mix.

Beatrix is writing a new novel.

And, Violet is reeling from an accident that she can't shake.

They are all dealing with their own stuff, but now something is off with the magic. Anne has enlisted the help of her sisters to figure out what's going on.

I love these books! They are so cozy! One of my favorite characters is actually the house. This definitely got me in the mood for fall.

I want to thank NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for sending me an advanced copy of The Witching Moon Manor in exchange for my honest review. I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel. I actually think I liked it more than the first book in this series. The Quigley sisters made such good protagonists and the setting was so whimsical. I loved everything about this cozy fantasy, but my favorite part has to be the personalities of the buildings themselves. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a good cozy fantasy, or if you are in need of a feel good story.
