A Cupcake Coven Romance #1
A Letter to Three Witches
Bewitched meets Practical Magic in this sparkling and quirky rom-com with an enchanted twist. When romance problems cause their powers to go berserk, a trio of witches whose family was banned from practicing magic risk getting in serious trouble with the Grand Council. Can they get their magic—and their love lives—in order before it’s too late?
Nearly a century ago, Gwen Engel’s great-great-grandfather cast a spell with catastrophic side-effects. As a result, the Grand Council of Witches forbade his descendants from practicing witchcraft. The Council even planted anonymous snitches called Watchers in the community to report any errant spellcasting…
Yet magic may still be alive and not so well in Zenobia. Gwen and her cousins, Trudy and Milo, receive a letter from Gwen’s adopted sister, Tannith, informing them that she’s bewitched one of their partners and will run away with him at the end of the week. While Gwen frets about whether to trust her scientist boyfriend, currently out of town on a beetle-studying trip, she’s worried that local grad student Jeremy is secretly a Watcher doing his own research.
Cousin Trudy is so stressed that she accidentally enchants her cupcakes, creating havoc among her bakery customers—and in her marriage. Perhaps it’s time the family took back control and figured out how to harness their powers. How else can Gwen decide whether her growing feelings for Jeremy are real—or the result of too many of Trudy’s cupcakes?

This is hilarious, entertaining, quick, fun reading! If you don’t have high expectations and look for something light, easy to read, this is great fit for you!
There are so many plot holes and far fetched conclusions and characters’ ultra exaggerated manners drag them into dangerous situations.
I advise you to read it without thinking any further and criticizing the development, you’d better let yourself flow with the story and try to expect less and focus on the juicy, funny, interesting parts as I like I did.
The story centered on three cousins: Gwen, Milo, Trudy whose family have been banned to practice magic for 150 years for causing the Dust Bowl ( they have one of a kind, mischievous great- great- grandfather)
After each of them received a letter from adopted sister/ cousin Tannith telling them she would move to NYC accompanied by one of them’s partners, the alarm bell started ringing. Could she bewitch one of them’s beau?
And when Trudy’s husband wants divorce, things get out of control, because Trudy disobeys the family ban and she turns her husband into a rabbit.
So you can expect the derailed situations, a little farce comedy, the witches’ attempts to revoke the magic without being noticed by prying eyes of neighbors and police officers.
But as they try harder to fix things, the unexpected elements are thrown into equation and things get more complicated!
I’m giving my solid three stars! It was still fun to read and I didn’t get bored! I didn’t question the progression of the story too much! It was light, quick, interesting and easy alternative for you!

A Letter to Three Witches is a lighthearted and fun read full of zany characters.
Nearly a century ago, after a disastrous incident that lead to the Dustbowl, the Grand Council of Witches forbade one particular family of witches from practicing witchcraft.
Today, Gwen and her family are still abiding by that order. That all changes when Gwen receives a startling letter from her adopted sister, Tannith. Tannith’s letter declares that she has bewitched one of the family’s partners and intends to run away with him by the end of the week.
What follows is hilarious magical mishap after hilarious magical mishap. Get ready for some enchanted cupcakes, transformations, and a cast of blundering witches.
This novel is a quick read and told mainly from Gwen’s perspective.
After reading some dark thrillers recently, it was fun to switch things up with this entertaining novel. By the end, I still had some unanswered questions, which makes me wonder if there will be more books to follow this one.
I recommend this if you’re looking for a light and funny witchy novel.

Special thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Guess who’s holding on to the witchy season for dear life! Yup, to no one’s surprise, it’s lil’ old me.
I was thrilled to get an ARC of this book, but, in all honesty, I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did. 11 times out of 10, I’m reading a romance novel or a fantasy romance or anything with a romance and a happy ending, and, while this one did deliver on those elements, the romance was not at all the main story arc. The fact that I didn’t mind it says wonders, lol.
This particular coven is located in the small town of Zenobia, New York, and it’s made of four witch cousins – Gwen, our main character, who runs a small business where she and her employees perform odd jobs for people in town; Trudy, a married mom-of-two who is approaching her forties and runs a cupcake business; Milo, who’s currently working on his dreamy boyfriend's mayoral campaign; and Tannith, the mean, callous, diabolical one of the group, who was raised by Gwen’s parents after her own passed away and has basically been the Regina George of this family.
The book starts as Gwen, Trudy and Milo all receive letters from Tannith informing them that she is moving to New York City at the end of the week and is taking one of their significant others, who she has enchanted – which is odd, considering that the family is not allowed to practice magic due to an ancestor’s catastrophic mistake while casting a spell about 90 years ago.
The letters unite the three cousins as they try to find out who Tannith has hexed: is it Daniel, Gwen’s boring entomologist boyfriend? (Does she even mind if it is?) Is it Brett, Milo's boyfriend, with his genuine political ambitions and beautiful smile? Is it Laird, Trudy’s skeptical, know-it-all professor husband?
Unfortunately, figuring out who Tannith’s victim/future lover is turns out to be kind of complicated, since none of the men are currently in town (suspicious much?).
Other than general panic, anger and confusion, the letters cause Gwen, Trudy and Milo to go, well, a little out of control, setting them up for a hilarious adventure.
The romantic lead appears in the form of Laird’s nerdy mentee, Jeremy, who seems to be hanging around way too much for comfort in these weird times. Is he a Watcher, sent to spy on Gwen and her family to make sure they’re not using magic? Or does he just want to smooch her? 😏
I loved this book so so much. It was laugh-out-loud funny and super sweet. I couldn't put it down!
Also, turns out you can’t legally publish a book about witches without having them name their business something witch-related; in this case, Gwen’s business is called Abracadabra Odd Jobs and Trudy’s business is called Enchanted Cupcakes. So, no lawsuits here. 😉

That was fun.
This book is really cute and impractical. I honestly was hoping for something with a bit more punch behind the plotline, but I think it was a nice break from the aggressive fantasy books that I usually read.
The plot - Gwen Engel, resident of an ordinary town, is not quite as ordinary as her surroundings. She, as well as her family, is a witch. The Engels have been forbidden from practicing magic by the Council of Witches, due to a “mishap” caused by her great-grandfather (better known as the Dust Bowl).
Everything seems to be going smoothly until she and her cousins Milo and Trudy all receive letters from her adopted sister Tannith - a sly, malicious witch who never got along with the rest of the family.
The letters say that by the end of the week, Tannith will have run off with one of their partners. Cue the romantic turmoil from all three cousins. Enter Jeremy, a cute grad student who seems to show up at all the wrong times.
All this stress causes Gwen and her cousins to start digging into their family’s past, as well as their forbidden powers. Enter enchanted cupcakes and a lot more emotional confusion as the week goes on.
This storyline was really cute and whimsical, even though I didn’t really get swept up in it the way I could have been. I didn’t really care for most of the book, even if I enjoyed it.
The characters were probably my main problem, because they were very one-dimensional and didn’t really make themselves matter to me. I had trouble caring for them or their actions.
Gwen was just a basic woman running a small business in a sleepy town. That’s literally her entire personality. Her narrative was easy to read and definitely the best POV for the book. I liked her very passively, because she was actually a pretty passive character.
Trudy was the most relatable to me because of her habit of stress-baking and the way her magic kept interfering with her emotions (not that I have magic, but it would definitely happen to me if I did).
Milo was really annoying to me but I liked him when he was first introduced. I also love that he was LGBTQ+ rep (he might have been bi or pan but I don’t remember if it was specified, I just know that he had a boyfriend). But yeah he was the most annoying and useless out of the cousins for me
I thought I would like Tannith the best, not just because she was the obvious antagonist but because her ~villainous flair~ was the most compelling out of the rest of the characters. I did, but over time her backstory and personality just felt so clichéd and fake that I couldn’t appreciate it anymore. She could have been brought out so well and she just felt really plastic.
Honestly, I liked Griz the best. Griz was the talking cat.
My favorite thing about the book was probably the magic and how spontaneous and quirky it was. It gave the book so much more atmosphere and plot than it had originally, and I was really into the enchanted cupcakes and human transfigurations.
This book gave me sweet Halloween vibes that really made me smile, and that was the best part about it.
I also like the plot inconveniences, because a lot of the time magic is used to solve problems in books without any consequence. However, the magic in this book just caused a ton of problems added over the realistic ones like police officers and annoying people. I thought that was a nice touch to make the book feel more real.
Honestly, I don’t really have a lot to say about this book. It was really fun and entertaining, even if it didn’t hold a lot of substance the way I usually prefer. But I think that’s my personal opinion, and from an objective point of view, this book is good.
From my subjective view, it could have been written in a much more compelling and engaging way, especially with the stakes of the plot. It could have been made a lot more exciting and intense. But it wasn’t really intended to be intense fantasy, as far as I know.
Overall, if you like or have a craving (*lol*) for really whimsical, quirky, light reads (especially for Halloween!) I would definitely recommend A Letter to Three Witches. I would not recommend it for a deep read. It’s witchy and cute and that’s it.

A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass is a paranormal romantic comedy novel. And just to note picking this one up I thought this was a new author to me but it turns out she also writes under Liz Ireland that I’ve read and also Liz Freeland.
Gwen Engel lives in Zenobia, New York where she comes from a long line of family in the small town that have hidden magical abilities. Gwen’s great-great-grandfather had begun the long time ban of magic on Gwen’s family in Zenobia that now the Grand Council of Witches enforces by having Watchers around the town.
However, when Gwen and her cousins, Trudy and Milo, receive letters from Gwen’s adopted sister, Tannith, stating she’s running away with one of their men things go a little haywire for the three women. Gwen is not sure if her boyfriend is the man Tannith is referring to in her letter but she definitely want the truth soon.
Now as I mentioned I did discover that I had actually read this author before under her Liz Ireland books and now I can see the similarity. The books including this new one are all lighthearted and humorous fun with this one being a rom com while the others I’ve read where cozies. But if you are looking for a bit of fun to pass the time you might enjoy any of them. This one is best described of course with some fun bumbling witchcraft and a bit of romance which I did enjoy and will look for more from this author again in the future.

A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass
Contemporary paranormal romance. On the lighter side of the genre.
From a family of witches, Trudy, Gwen and Milo are prohibited from practicing magic. But a letter sent to them from Tannith threatening to run away with their significant other, has the three using magic for the first time in their lives. With staggering and unpredictable results.
Funny situations, family eccentricity, and unique pets.
It was a bit of a slow start for me but the addition of the housebound family member added some quirkiness and interest to the story.
🎧 I listened to an audiobook copy of this story narrated by Emily Durante and Nick Morelli.
The majority of the book was from Gwen’s POV which was performed by Emily. She did a great job with voice variance, pauses, emotions and characters talking to each other. The conversational laugh, comment, pause made each character stand out clearly. 4 chapters were by Gris, the cat / Nick. Those were amusing and a fun POV.
I listened to the recording at 1.25 speed for a comfortable conversation speed. I started with 1.0 for the first two chapters for nuance and clarity but the higher sped was preferred.
The overall sound quality seemed a little tinny. Hoping that was just my preview copy.

A spell gone wrong, a curse, forbidden witchcraft, watchers, and magic!
Gwen Engel’s family has been forbidden from practicing witchcraft. Yet, they still feel magic surging through them. When Gwen's adopted sister, Tannith sends a letter to Gwen and her cousin's Trudy and Milo informing them that she has bewitched one of their partners and plans to run away with them at the end of the week.
The shenanigans begin and the magic flows. There are transformations, suspicion about watchers and magic that goes awry. What do you expect from witches who have not been allowed to practice witchcraft?!?
This was a cute light read. It wasn't entirely what I expected, but I still found it to be enjoyable and a nice listen.

TW// cheating, incest, mention of fatal car crash
I debated for a while whether I really wanted to write a review for this book or not, but I think I should given that I had so many issues with this book.
My biggest issue with this book is that it’s so dang boring. I literally finished this book and immediately took a nap because I was that bored. I was hoping for cozy witchy vibes or rom-com vibes but I didn’t get that from this story at all. The “humor” to this book was really cheesy and some of the jokes made me straight up uncomfortable. The plot moved along at a snail’s pace and there was nothing interesting about any of the characters besides Milo. If this were a book that focused solely on Milo and his love interest, the story would’ve been ten times better. The other main characters, Gwen and Trudy, were so dull and annoying. They spent the majority of this book complaining about their partners. Milo sometimes complained about his partner, but at least he didn’t cheat on Brett.
Speaking of cheating, that’s my other major issue with this book. There was no need for this book to include so much cheating. Three characters cheated on their partners throughout the course of this book. One of those characters was technically (but not legally) broken up with their husband, so I can forgive that one a little bit (even though her husband was in a sticky situation when she started hooking up with another guy - this story was honestly a mess). The other cheating though… It was so unnecessary. I’m purposefully being vague in my discussion of this so that I don’t spoil the story for people who want to read this book, but it felt like there was cheating scandal after cheating scandal after cheating scandal in this book. The main relationship in this book is purely cheating. By the end of the book, when that main couple gets their happily ever after, one of the characters doesn’t even break up with their partner. They just casually start making out and planning dates while they are still with their boyfriend. Why was that necessary??
There’s incest in this book, too, which is yucky. It’s not too bad because it’s between second cousins, but it’s bad enough, especially when they justify it by saying that their cut off limit for dating relatives is second cousins. This incest relationship also had a scene where a character turned into a teenage version of themselves and started making out with their lover while their lover was still an adult. It’s not technically wrong, but it still made me super uncomfortable.
The magical elements to this book were very weak. Most of the main characters had no control over their powers. When they won battles or solved a problem with their powers, it was all them just randomly getting it right because their emotions would take over. I like my fictional witches to have actual power or to use their brains to solve their problems, but these witches had heads filled with rocks and no control of their powers, which was a total bummer since I mainly wanted to read this book because of the witch element.
That’s really all the non-spoiler thoughts I have about this book. I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway, so thank you to the publisher for sending me a copy of this book. I truly thought I would like this book when I entered the giveaway, but it was not what I hoped it’d be.
I do have a few spoilery thoughts that will be in the spoiler tag below. It won’t spoil any massive plot details, but it will include quotes that some people may consider spoilers.

This review was originally posted on Books of My Heart
Review copy was received from NetGalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
3.5 hearts
A Letter to Three Witches is supposed to be a funny, relaxing good time standalone book where three cousins all get a letter from another cousin saying she is moving to New York at the end of the week and taking one of their boyfriends/husbands with her. As Gwen, Trudy and Milo work together to try and figure out what Tannith is up to and which man she is trying to steal some shenanigans ensue.
Most of the story it in Gwen's PoV. She is technically a witch along with others in her family, but due to a mess up one of her ancestors made, her family is forbidden from practicing magic. She has been living with her boyfriend for about six months and things seem to be going okay, so she is really concerned he is going to run off with her cousin/raised sister later in the week. When she shows up at Trudy's house, she and Milo are in a similar discussion about Milo's boyfriend and how sure he is that it is him she is after.
Most of this is kinda cute and funny. As Gwen discovers that her cousins are dabbling a little in witchcraft and Trudy is accidently putting spells into her cupcakes, some hilarity ensues as the situation sometimes gets out of control. There are a few issues, as it is hard to believe each person is so unsure in their relationship to the point that they think one of there significant others could be bespelled away. But learning a few of Gwen's family secrets was a little fun.
This book is not perfect; there are a few little plot holes that were a little eh. Then there is Gwen's love life. It is pretty clear she and her boyfriend Daniel aren't really all that compatible, but when a new love interest is introduced he does come off a bit like a stalker, if not an adorable one.
Overall, this is a fun light read it you want something you don't have to throw a lot of thought into. I did like the PoV from the cat as that was entertaining and Trudy's situation and accidental magic was also part of my favorite things in the book. Just don't overthink the situations and you'll be fine and enjoy the story.
Narration:
Emily Durante and Nick Mondelli did a good job portraying the characters of the story. I enjoyed Nick's version of an emotionally co-dependent cat the most though. I was able to listen to this at my usual 1.5x speed.

A Letter to Three Witches is supposed to be a funny, relaxing good time standalone book where three cousins all get a letter from another cousin saying she is moving to New York at the end of the week and taking one of their boyfriends/husbands with her. As Gwen, Trudy and Milo work together to try and figure out what Tannith is up to and which man she is trying to steal some shenanigans ensue.
Most of the story it in Gwen's PoV. She is technically a witch along with others in her family, but due to a mess up one of her ancestors made, her family is forbidden from practicing magic. She has been living with her boyfriend for about six months and things seem to be going okay, so she is really concerned he is going to run off with her cousin/raised sister later in the week. When she shows up at Trudy's house, she and Milo are in a similar discussion about Milo's boyfriend and how sure he is that it is him she is after.
Most of this is kinda cute and funny. As Gwen discovers that her cousins are dabbling a little in witchcraft and Trudy is accidently putting spells into her cupcakes, some hilarity ensues as the situation sometimes gets out of control. There are a few issues, as it is hard to believe each person is so unsure in their relationship to the point that they think one of there significant others could be bespelled away. But learning a few of Gwen's family secrets was a little fun.
This book is not perfect; there are a few little plot holes that were a little eh. Then there is Gwen's love life. It is pretty clear she and her boyfriend Daniel aren't really all that compatible, but when a new love interest is introduced he does come off a bit like a stalker, if not an adorable one.
Overall, this is a fun light read it you want something you don't have to throw a lot of thought into.

I am sorry but I did not enjoy this book. It was directionless and just did not get to the point between the three witches and three sisters

After Tannith sends a letter to her sister and cousins about moving away and taking one of their partners with her, everything erupts into chaos.
The more they try to fix it, the worse it gets. Because, you see, they aren't trained witches, their family was forbidden from using any magic for 150 years due to an incident caused by their great-great-grandfather and now they have to pay the price for his shenanigans.
A Letter to Three Witches surprised me with how fun it was to read. The comps were definitely correct, because I did get both Bewitched and Practical Magic vibes.
I fell in love with the characters, it was hard not to with all that was happening to them. One accident(al bunny) after another and wouldn't you know it, I found myself crying!
If I had to pick a favourite it would be Griz. I have a weakness for talking animals and he was no exception. I hated how Tannith treated him, THE POOR BABY DIDN'T DESERVE THAT.
Most of the magic here was very explosive, but I appreciate the little things too, like the cupcakes, that was a great idea.
There's not a lot of romance in the book, but the parts of it that are present are very sweet.
One thing that I wish we saw was the parents helping out. Gwen and the gang went far and beyond to keep them out of it, but I was hoping they'd figure it out and lend a helping hand.
The ending wraps things up, and leaves room for a sequel at the same time. I NEED A SEQUEL. There's still so much to explore in the world, even if we don't mainly follow Gwen next time.

4 Stars
One Liner: Entertaining, light-hearted, and fun.
Gwen comes from a family of witches. However, her family is forbidden from dabbling in magic and witchcraft. More than a century ago, her ancestor’s witchcraft created a catastrophic mess. The Grand Council of Witches punished the family by preventing them to perform magic for the next 150 years.
Gwen, Turdy, and Milo are more or less settled their relationships (or so they think). They are content to not attract the Watchers or the Council by publicly using magic for personal gain. All is well… until it isn’t.
What’s life without some magic, even if it causes more headache than relief? How can things be well with Tannith, the self-declared princess of Zenobia and the mean-spirited cousin of the family?
When Gwen receives Tannith’s letter about leaving Zenobia and moving to New York (but with a guy she charmed from one of the cousins), she begins to doubt if her relationship had survived or if her man, Daniel met the same fate as her previous dates (by succumbing to Tannith’s charm).
She meets Turdy and Milo to realize that things aren’t better for them. Turdy is evasive about Lardy, her husband. Milo isn’t too sure about Bert’s intentions either. Moreover, it appears that Turdy managed to unleash the inner witch in her and has no idea how to control it.
The appearance of Jeremy and his presence make Gwen wary for multiple reasons. He could be a Watcher, after all. Her sudden feelings for him don’t make sense either. She’s happy with Daniel, isn’t she?
What follows next is as messy as leaving a bunch of novice students in a chemistry lab. Can the cousins save the day and streamline their lives in the process?
• The book turned out to be exactly what I wanted. It’s silly, crazy, quirky, and even a little absurd. But it’s fast-paced and super fun. I like contemporary witchy books that are light on the mind and don’t demand too much attention.
• Gwen has many shades of the typical millennial and annoyed me at times. But since the story moves fast, she had no choice but to go with the flow and make faster decisions.
• The family dynamics were warm and cozy. Aunt Esme’s sharp sentences were a good contrast o balance the excess warmth of Gwen’s parents. (I’m looking forward to reading more about Aunt Esme).
• My favorite characters, of course, are Tannith and Griz (the black cat). That’s because these two have loads of potential with multiple layers. But I wasn’t looking for character development in this one, so I enjoyed the story without feeling a connection to any character.
• The romantic tracks also progressed too fast, but hey, we need a happy ever after. The book’s ending is just right for a sequel. I hope the author is drafting it already.
• My only rouse is that magic didn’t play as big a role as expected. I wanted more spells, more magic, and more witchcraft.
To sum up, A Letter to Three Witches is a light-hearted and entertaining read. Don’t look for logic or multilayered characters. Go with the flow and enjoy the funny moments.

Great witchy fun! Gwen Engel's entire family has been banned by the Great Council of Witches from practicing witchcraft. This was due to Gwen's great-great-grandfather causing the great Dust Bowl in an incident nearly a hundred years ago. The family is monitored by discreet "Watchers" to make sure they do not use their craft. The family has fearfully followed this ruling until a letter arrives to Gwen and two of her cousins from Gwen's adopted sister Tannith saying that Tannith is running away with one of the cousin's men. Gwen and her cousins, Trudy and Milo, don't know which man Tannith has bewitched and is running away with.
The story is a light-hearted rom-com filled with lots of magic. It's a lot of fun and I enjoyed the plot and the characters. Oh, and there's a talking cat, who is a great character too! I liked the premise of the family being forced to live without using their witchcraft and found that to be an interesting obstacle for the family to work toward overcoming.
Thanks to Kensington Books through Netgalley for an advance copy. This book will be published on January 25, 2022.

Bumbling witchy hi-jinx and a fun cast of cousins witches.
This also has tasty sounding cupcakes, a kitty names Grim and some bunnies.
What more could a girl want for?
Highly recommend!
Much love to NetGalley & Dreamscape Media for my DRC.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC :)
This book really suprised me. Thought it looked fun because of the description which kinda reminded me of Charmed which I looove.
I started reading and immediately second guessed myself picking it up, as it seemed kind of boring and lacked magic.
But boy am I glad I stayed on this train, cause the book got really fun just a few chapters in. It's a romcom with magic and clueless witches doing everything wrong and more.
Would recommend to fans of Charmed and Practical Magic.

Nope, sorry not for me. This whole book seemed rather juvenile. Are these characters actually adults? They seemed like preteens navigating their first dance. Also, if your crazy cousin keeps stealing your man with years of this behaviour why is she still in your life??

A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass is a light-hearted witchy read. It has a bit of romance, with a copious sprinkling of fantasy, comedy, family drama and magic.
Set in the sleepy college town of Zenobia, New York, the story transcends the boundaries of time and reality. Gwen, her parents, cousins Trudy and Milo, and adopted sister Tannith belong to a family of witches but are leading regular lives amongst other humans. About a 100 years ago, Gwen’s great-great-grandfather’s magical spell had led to catastrophic events, forcing the Grand Council to ban future descendants from practicing witch-craft. But a letter from Tannith, warning of an impending doom, sends a wave of panic amongst the cousins as they find themselves in the world of charms, hex and spells–a world from which they have been banned from entering!
The storyline is unique, and the narration is enthralling. I especially liked the characters in this story. Gwen, Trudy and Milo are just like the people we meet and know in our daily lives – they are kind, caring, and witty. The familial relationship they share is so warm, fuzzy and real. These witches don’t wear hats or cloaks. They are not out there to cast evil spells on others; instead, they bake cakes, run an odd job service, or a landscaping design business.
Though the central characters are the trio, there are other quirky and memorable characters who made this story even more delightful – Griz, the cat, Aunt Esme or the suspicious assistant Jeremy. I even enjoyed the few chapters which are narrated from Griz’s POV.
There are a lot of events happening simultaneously, but Bass has tied up all the threads together seamlessly. I loved how the setting is so contemporary, especially the references to Brew Tube, Cackle (the witch world’s Twitter) was well done.
The ending indicates we can expect more from the author. I am looking forward to the series (if any!) with each focusing on the other cousins or Tannith.
A Letter to Three Witches is magical, mysterious and entertaining. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fast-paced, funny, low fantasy novel.

Such a fun read!! Loved following along with the cousins as they try to figure out the magic squeezing out of them.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- Cute cover on this one!
So...I have kind of been putting reading this book off for a while now. The romance gene just holds zero interest for me at the moment and this one sounded very "romance like". However, I needed something light after my last book, so I dived in. I ended up enjoying it quite a lot. Probably because, in fact, it is fairly low in the romance department. It was more a story about a group of siblings and the shenanigans they get up to when their (forbidden to use) magic makes itself known. It was cute. The characters were likable, and I hope the author plans on making it into a series!

This is a fun, witchy, screwball comedy that was a nice light read. Nasty witch Tannith sends a mysterious and threatening letter to cousins Gwen, Milo and Trudy and what follows is a bit of a madcap story with enchanted cupcakes, accidental transformations of relatives into rabbits and toads, and the thoughts of Tannith’s familiar, grumpy cat Griz.
May 20, 2022
Not as enchanting as I had wished for, not as perfect as I had expected; but definitely as entertaining as a supernatural rom-com with effortless banter and sitcom-like humour sounds like. Gwen’s family has been banned from practising witchcraft after her great-great-grandfather accidentally set some unfortunate events into motion, due to which magic is now hidden. When a life-changing letter arrives, Gwen and her two cousins, all busy uncovering a mystery in New York, slowly start to notice their supernatural abilities make a presence. Both amusing and charming, this lighthearted novel features talking animals, love spells, quirky blunders, magic mishaps, and a wicked witch. While cliche, it manages to deliver exactly what it’s meant to—an eccentric potion of magic, love, and humour.

January 13, 2022**This one wasn't doing it for me. I DNF at 20%.
But it could be for anyone who enjoys a light-hearted, paranormal romcom featuring a close group of witches that are dealing with their love lives and problems related to using their magic again for the first time in a long time. Perfect if you enjoyed The ex-hex, the Fairy Godmothers Inc series by Saranna DeWylde or the Fix-it witches series by Ann Aguirre. Much thanks to NetGalley and Kensington books for my advance review copy.

Unfortunately, the writing style was just not for me. I didn't enjoy the initial development which made it difficult for me to truly engage with the story. I found the plot underwhelming and riddled with inconsistencies.

This is a story about four cousins who’s family was stripped of their witchcraft yet one cousin has used magic and now they are catching the attention of the Great Council of Witches.
I found this book to be all over the place. This was not the funny and quirky romcom I was expecting. I’m still a little confused at what genre this book falls under; fantasy, drama, cozy mystery?
I think this would be an enjoyable read to someone who likes sisterhood and family drama with a bit of halloween vibes.
Audiobook review Emily Durante & Nick Mondelli did an awesome job with the narration since there were a lot of characters over the course of the book, which could have been confusing.

If you are looking for a fun, rom-com with a touch of hocus pocus mystery adventure, please look no further! A Letter to Three Witches is just that!
After receiving the letter from Tannith, it is discovered that Trudy has accidentally turned her husband into a bunny and they can't tell anyone, because it's forbidden to practice magic. Gwen, Trudy, and Milo have to figure out how to turn the bunny back to Trudy's husband, but don't know how since they have never really practiced magic. They really can't ask for help, because it's, again, forbidden. Plus, the Grand Council has people watching their family to make sure they don't practice magic.
You can only imagine the circus act of events that takes place on this trio trying to turn Trudy's husband back into a man. It's a real rom-com!

Fast and fun now that's the way to grab the reader ! What I think kept me reading was wondering just how more complicated things could get as the cousins lives rapidly descended into a comedy of errors. Yes some things I could see a mile coming but in the main it was just a joy to get sucked in and surprised. I am not usually a huge fan of light hearted paranormal stories but I enjoyed this break from reality and would happily read more from this new to me author.
