It’s giving Charmed but with a twist! Overall loved the premise & excited for the second one.
March 31, 2026
This book was an Indie Author Tuesday read. I met the author on TikTok and read his book on my Live. The story is about three best friends who move in together to do life together. Richie, Kasey, and Kayla get settled in and one at a time they start to get these "abilities." When they get together and talk about these abilities, another person appears...a guardian if you will. The guardian explains the abilities and why they have them. He also trains the trio for an upcoming battle that can destroy our world.
There's action, friendship, family, and love in this story. There's also humor, death, and grief in this story. But I have it on good authority that it's all there for a reason. This is an eight book series and I can't wait to dive in and read each one.
Richard Pinheiro-Rivera (author), wrote a great story that is personal to him (his words). It has a lot of meaning to him and I feel because of that I could really feel the heart and soul of the story. Pick it up and read it! Come back and talk to me about it.
Happy Reading!

THE WAY IT ENDED… OMG NOOOO 😭💔
Blessed Three by indie author Richard Pinheiro-Rivera had me STRESSED in the best way possible. That ending?? Absolutely not. I was not emotionally prepared and immediately had to start the second book because there was no way I could just sit there after THAT 😩📖
This story pulls you in fast and does not let go. The pacing keeps building, the tension is constant, and just when you think you know what’s going on… boom, something shifts. I was hooked the entire time.
But let’s talk about the CHARACTERS because that’s what really made this book stand out for me.
KASEY. 🫶✨
Hands down my favorite. Kasey has so much depth strong but still vulnerable, and you can feel everything they’re going through. Every scene with Kasey had me fully invested.
The rest of the cast? Just as compelling.
You’ve got loyalty, secrets, tension, and relationships that feel real and messy. Some characters made me emotional, some made me frustrated (in a good way), and others had me completely shocked with their choices. No one felt flat everyone had a role and purpose, and it all added to the intensity of the story.
The way everything builds together and leads into that wild, heartbreaking cliffhanger?? Yeah… prepare yourself.
If you love books that are emotional, character-driven, and leave you immediately reaching for the next one, Blessed Three is definitely a must read.

This book felt like the perfect mix of adventure, heart, and whimsy.
Blessed Three by Richard Pinheiro-Rivera was such a fun fantasy read. This story follows lifelong friends who discover they’re actually reincarnated witch siblings known as the Blessed Three, and I was hooked by that concept right away. The plot was fast-paced, the world-building was easy to follow without feeling overwhelming, and the story kept me invested from start to finish. I also loved that there was a sweet love story sprinkled in, adding just the right touch of emotion to all the fantasy and magic. This book felt like the perfect mix of adventure, heart, and whimsy.

I loved the charmed vibes from this book, I love charmed so much so to see something similar but more diverse was amazing. The plot was packed and I enjoyed it. I struggled with the 3rd person style as I am normally a 1st person reader, but the plot kept me reading. I found myself needing more.
P.S the cliffhanger was a hard one but don’t worry Richie has got you covered as books 1-7 are already out.
Richie even spoke about how elements of his love transferred into the book which broke my heart and had me crying, so please be ready for some heartbreak. I am excited to see where the rest of this series will go.

Charmed Again With a Twist
A found out about Richard’s Book through TikTok. And when he said it was a reimagined Charmed with a queer Main Character. I had to jump into it. The story is flushed out and pulls you in. There was a twist in the end that yes did gut me. I loved the friendship between Richie and his friends. And the romance between Richie and Colton was beautiful. I will most definitely be reading the rest of the series. And to see where the Blessed Coven will go moving forward.

This book! Snatched me in and said, you will not read anything else until you get through me and then will devour the rest of the series before you can go about your life”. The first book gives charmed vibes and it’s everything! The end makes you want to move right to the next one. Highly recommend the whole series!

It was absolutely amazing. It had me invested from the start. It definitely was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, but I loved every second of it. The writing style is great and I started book two the next day!

The blessed three is a great read from ritchie. The blessed three all had their own powers but when Colton the guardian came in that was it for me! Richie and Colton. What can I say about these two! The love for each other is great! I will continue to read to book 2!

Amazing
I could not put this book down. Read it all in one sitting. I cannot wait to jump into book 2. Amazing read and the characters are so good and relatable. Must read for anyone who enjoys cozy paranormals with kick ass heros.

This is what I wish Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer were. It has diversity, authentic LGBTQ+ representation, and a story that rips your heart out and feeds it back to you while you cry. Have tissues, snacks, and water ready, because you’re going to cry and rage all at once.

As someone who adore shows such as Charmed, when I heard the description of the book and other readers reactions to the story, I knew I had to give it a chance and I am so glad I did. This book had me hooked from the very first chapter, to the point I read the entire thing in about a day and half.
The characters are humorous and engaging that the reader can't help but fall in love with every single one of them. They will make you laugh, cry and scream at the page. Richie, Kayla and Kasey are not only best friends but each others family and their family only grows in size and strength when their lives are change completely overnight.
If you are stuck contemplating whether or not this book is worth a read, just start the book and you will not regret it. And you might as well get them all because once you start this series, you will want them all.

If you grew up watching supernatural shows full of snarky main characters and romance, you'll feel right at home reading this book.

FORMAT: KU
BUY: Gosh yes! All formats!
RE-READ: Yes, yes I must do that. Reread means catching things I missed first few times through!
SPICE: It's there but it's not explicit - it's sweet and matches the story perfectly.
LOVE: The witty banter. The characters. The love interest. Them embracing the love.
IFFY: The end :p No. It's a perfect end but you will want the second book (which is also available so bonus).
FAVOURITE: I refuse to pick one! REFUSE! Kayla, Kasey, Colton and Richie! Equally #TeamKayla <3

Loved the charmed vibes and the element of magic used in this book! Looking forward to seeing what else happens throughout the rest of the series.
The cliff hanger left me needing to know how it carries on and left so many questions in my mind 🤣🤣

This book literally made me start rewatching Charmed all over again! The Blessed Three is a magically charged urban fantasy that perfectly blends action, heartfelt emotion, and a modern LGBTQ+ twist.
The story follows Richie Blackwell and his best friends—Kasey Blake and Kayla Bennett—and fun fact: these three are actually best friends in real life! The book is fast-paced, easy to read, and so easy to follow that I devoured it in just one day.
What makes this debut truly shine is its bold representation. Featuring a gay male lead at the heart of a high-stakes fantasy, it proves that queer heroes can be just as powerful, complex, and captivating as any others.
The Blessed Three had me cackling, cracking up, and yelling at Richie the whole time. The surprise twists kept me on my toes, and that ending? Absolutely had me freaking out.
