Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Books for the chance of reading this lovely and fun story. The book is hilarious, entertaining, quick to read. I’m giving this story three stars because I really enjoyed reading it, but I feel the plot was all over the place, so it got me confused so many times. that I had to put it down because I got bored.

Thanks to the author, Kensington Books and Netgalley for allowing me to review this ARC with honesty.

The story is based on a family of witches. Witches that are forbidden to use magic due to something that happened in the past with a family member causing devastation. Now all members of the family are careful never to touch or even look at magic. Three cousins find however that they can't seem to get away from it as a fourth shakes their world with each letter and a promise to shake their lives up.

Gwen, Trudy and Milo are now in a race to fix what magic is threatening to out them with.

This story was an entertaining and funny read. Watching as the three cousins run around and try to piece together their cousin's taunt about ruining one of their relationships causes more funny mayhem then I ever expected.

If there is another book, I would love to read their next adventure. That and reading more about Griz and his hilarious commentary.

My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

3 stars

This book was full of witches and spells and could interest regular fantasy reader.
This book unfortunately couldn't catch much of my attention.

Once in a while I find a gem of a book on NetGalley, and this is one of them! Enchantingly funny, I couldn't help cackling every few pages. Really enjoyed it!

This was a short, fun and light hearted read! Definitely a great novel to escape into an exciting and well described new world. I really enjoyed the characters and the family dynamic but the magic didn’t play as big of a part in the storyline as I expected.

When cousins Gwen, Milo, and Trudy all receive a letter from Tannith, the woman who was raised with Gwen as her “sister”, stating that she was leaving town to move to New York but was taking one of their men with them, none of the cousins knew what to do. Was it going to be Laird, Trudy’s long-time husband? Brett, Milo’s boyfriend who was currently running for town mayor? Or Daniel, Gwen’s boyfriend that she lives with?
With the three trying to find out what’s really going on, they learn about accidental magic, watchers, they’re family history, and what happened to poor Aunt Esme and her boyfriend Odin.
This was a different type of tale. It had things I hadn’t heard of in a witchy book before, and from the blurb, I thought it would be a great book. This just didn’t quite hit the mark for me.
There were parts of the book that was just boring. I would put the book down for days at a time, and the only reason I picked it back up was because I owed a review.
Now as you know there is more than just my opinion. I’m sure there are many people who thought this story was great, I just wasn’t one. This book just didn’t hit with me, and that’s the reason for the 3 stars.
*I received this story from the publisher and Netgalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

This just wasn’t the book for me. I was really drawn to the cover and the description but the actual reading experience just fell flat for me.

When romance problems cause their powers to go crazy a trio of Witches risk serious trouble with the Grand Council can they gain control of love and magic before it's too late.

I was completely immersed in this story I loved it. A laugh out loud cosy lighthearted witchy read. I loved the characters and felt invested in their story. A very entertaining read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I wanted to love this so much. I really really did. The first time I read it, I put it down after the first 5 chapters and didn't pick it back up until I had to. It was a struggle to get into it. I can't put my finger on what it was for me... I think maybe I just didn't like the main character, Gwen... Honestly, if we replace all the characters with ones from other books and such I like, I might enjoy this book. The storyline of being forbidden to use magic and learning how to use it to save XYZ is just overdone at this point.


This will be an excellent read for someone who hasn't read every single witch novel they can get their hands on like me. I just felt like this was very similar to many books I have read before in my childhood. This is a great modern take on a bewitch and practical magic for a newer reader.

Three cousins in a small town. A fourth ‘cousin’ raised as a sister, but more like The Good Son. Maybe not as evil. But definitely an angry troublemaker.

The Letter is written to all three cousins by the raised-as-a-sister Tannith. In the letter, she threatens to run off with the significant other of one of the three cousins. Who will it be? The letter sets off a zany chain of events in small town Zenobia.

The three cousins all have innate magic, but mostly don’t practice it due to a ban enforced by the magical authorities on an ancestor and his descendants. But magic happens. Sometimes accidentally, sometimes on purpose. Let’s just say that the cousins could use some Hogwarts education.

Without the witch factor, this would be called a farce. If anything can go wrong, it goes absurdly wrong.

It is the accidental events that are hilarious. A man turned into a rabbit. A cupcake that makes you sleepy or horny. Each one results in bigger and bigger catastrophes for the three witches. At the same time, they are learning more about their heritage and exactly who they are. And because of Tannith’s letter, the cousins’ relationships go through the ringer. Hopefully they will come out better than ever.

Told mostly from cousin Gwen’s point of view, occasionally, the familiar cat, Grizelda, gets to claim center stage.

A Letter to Three Witches is an enchanting, light-hearted romp. Charming, likable characters and familiars. Though….I may not be eating a cupcake for a while.

Through Netgalley, the publisher provided a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely enjoyed this read in the way that I enjoyed Dial A for Aunties. It's ridiculous and it is hilarious. It is a read not to be taken too seriously. Definitely do not overthink this one. It is not logical. I think if you a just ready for a fun, fast-paced read with plot hilarity this is a perfect recipe for that. It is just fun. It does not make sense, but I did not really mind because I was so amused throughout.

This is a book that I wished was published around Halloween because it would have fit so nicely with the season, but if you are like me and just want Halloweenish and witchy books year round, here ya go! I personally never let the season go and you can pry it from my dead, cold hands. Books like this one help me feed that feeling all year long.

I think this one has been slightly marketed as a rom-com and, while there is a tiny bit of romance, this is really more of just a straight comedy. It is an over-the-top comedy that involves supernatural characters and magic. Basically these are all my favorite things. Is this going to be a series? I ask this of all books I love and let me say I would keep reading about these witchy shenanigans should another book follow, and that is high praise indeed.

A Letter to Three Witches tells the story of a family of witches who were cursed years ago and banned from practicing witchcraft. The story begins when three cousins receive an ominous letter from their distant cousin and that ... kind of leads them into all kinds of spirals.

For the first half, this was a three star book. It was cute, it had a fun, light premise, and I was intrigued to see where it went. However, in the second half, it did not actually go anywhere and I found myself unable to stick with my three star review. While the writing is charming, I found the style to be a bit too simple and the plot lacking the usual intricacies one would expect from something that begins with a mystery. The characters are all a bit too flat and the romance is just shockingly bad. The romance is also not even really the key part of the book (despite this being marketed as such), it's barely a subplot and I would have preferred it had the writer chosen to completely ditch the romance and focus on the bond between the cousins.

I felt like there was some initial promise here but the story really doesn't seem to go anywhere and the elements are not well developed. The antagonist is a caricature and the protagonists seem a bit ... useless? I wish I'd liked it more and it got off to a good start but it really left a severely underwhelming and unresolved feeling once I was done.

This was a hilarious, entertaining, and a quick read. This was very light and easy to read! I give this a solid 3 stars! It was fun to read and interesting to say the least.

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Books for the digital reviewer copy!

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me an ARC in exchange with my honest thoughts.
I went into this book expecting near to nothing, but a cute little read that’d at least bring me some joy. I was so wrong.

I couldn’t connect with any of the characters, especially the main character, Gwen. Full on adults behaving like children does not entertain me. The way they approach their own relationships was very stupid.

The plot is everywhere, but also nowhere—because there is no plot, which gets even worse combined with the awful writing..

All the bad things aside, the book lost me from its very first chapter, through a cat’s perspective. Don’t get me wrong, I love cats, but the cat sounded so horny here!
“<i>Pleasure purrs through me.</i>” Seriously, is this some SJM bird man?

Milo had potential, though. I believe he should have been the main character.
This book had the plot of a short shorty, and felt so, so stretched out.

I started reading this and thought "this sounds like that tv movie I watched once". I looked it up and it was indeed called "A Letter to Three Wives", but apparently the tv movie was an inferior remake of a decent actual movie. Anyway, this bears little resemblance past the title and the basic conceit, and it is not the usual kind of thing I read. I'm starting to think that is a mistake, because this was a heck of a lot of fun. The words "zany", "madcap" and even "rollicking" spring to mind. It's quick-moving and diverting, which is very welcome these days. It would make a fantastic beach read, but did pretty well at distracting me from a worldwide pandemic plus idiot trucker protest in January as well. Great characters, magic cupcakes, a sentient black cat (not to mention the bunnies and toads), magic gone awry, love at first sight - it all adds up to an intoxicating brew.

What a cute fun mystery to solve. I felt as inept at magic as the three cousins in this story. Milo, Trudy , and Gwen get a mysterious letter from their cousin. A letter that takes them on a week of shenanigans and trying to find out just what cousin Tannith is really up to.

All their relationships and safety are on the line as this family of witches who is not allowed to practice has to uncover family secrets while accidentally doing magic. There's some whoops I didn't mean to turn him into a rabbit and some magically love cupcakes happening.

This story kept me guessing along with Gwen as to what in the world was happening. Also Tannith's cat has his own POV and it is adorable. This was definitely a fun witchy read.

Cute & cheesy! It would make a good Halloween read. I thought witchcraft intrigued me, but I’ve read 3 witch related books in the last 6 months and I think my interest is waning. However, this one is cute and there’s a bakery involved and cupcakes make everything better!

Actual rating: 2.5/5

When Gwen, Milo, and Trudy all get a letter from their cousin Tannith promising havoc in their lives, it awakens something magical in them.

'A Letter to Three Witches' by Elizabeth Bass tells the story of three cousins having to reverse magical shenanigans while keeping prying eyes away from them.
Gwen was a fun if a little mundane character. As the owner of a small business and having just moved in with her boyfriend, she thinks things can't get better than that but as she dabbles further with magic, she realises how much she is lacking in her life. She questions whether her happiness is surface level, and the addition of a new handsome yet nosy man in her life only complicates things further.
Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of Jeremy. I understand his actions were meant to keep the readers on edge but they don't paint him in the best romance light. The only thing I liked about his was the fact that he kept his search for Laird throughout the book as opposed to dropping it midway through. Otherwise, he felt shoehorned in at times, with his romantic entanglement coming off as rushed and insta-lovey.
I liked Trudy and Milo the best out of everyone. While trudy's arc is similar to Gwen's, it's a lot more heartwarming to see her go through it after having raised two children. Older protagonists rebuilding their lives and finding love again isn't something often seen, even in romance. As for Milo, the glue that holds the trio together. He's sassy, inquisitive and excellent at unearthing information off the internet, this book couldn't have been resolved without him.

In terms of plot, I greatly enjoyed most of the book. I thought the main plot was the best and felt that Tannith's subplot as well as the romances got in the way. It was fun to experience manifesting magic in older main characters, and captivating to see how that affected them and their character arcs.

A final note on some of the themes within. One of the central questions is whose partner is Tannith going to steal at the end of the week, which prompts questions and concerns by each of the three in regards to their own relationships. Bass reflects on the state of different relationships and how time can wear them down (or not). She hits on some more serious notes that don't quite align with the overall tone of the story, so those moment brought me out of it rather rapidly. I also thought these questions were tackled rather quickly, without allowing them time to really develop the characters.

Overall A Letter to Three Witches is a fun and easy read. It has some surprising plot twists and touches on some meaningful topics, with an engaging, if a little surface level, story.

I don’t really prefer reading a point of view of a cat. Also, that made the first few paragraphs very confusing until it was stated.

A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass is a paranormal romance that is a mix of Bewitched meets Practical Magic. A fast-paced, quirky rom-com with an enchanted twist. I was drawn in from the beginning and did not want to stop reading. I look forward to reading more from this author.
