This was cute. A great witchy season read, although nothing new and completely unique about it. Nice fun magical fall vibes.

When I say I wanted to love this book, I mean that with my whole heart. A die-hard lover of spooky season, this sounded right up my alley! And the cover! It looks like the cousin of The Witches and I was here for it! Unfortunately, what I got was a book so hard to understand and get into I wanted to cry. I've never not gotten into a Witchy love story so this one just upset me so much! And cousin love?! What the What? I'm so lost on what the author was trying to accomplish here. Yall. This was so not good. I'm so sorry to say this and feel this way, but goodness. This just wasn't a good fit for me at all. I apologize.

I received an advanced copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you to NetGalley, Elizabeth Bass, and Kensington. 🖤

I found "A Letter to Three Witches" by Elizabeth Bass to be a three-star read. It wasn't as enchanting as I'd hoped, nor as perfect as I had expected. However, it was certainly entertaining, much like a supernatural romantic comedy with witty banter and sitcom-like humor.

The story revolves around Gwen and her two cousins, who are on a quest to uncover a mystery in New York. The twist? Their family has been forbidden from practicing witchcraft, but when a life-changing letter arrives, their supernatural abilities make a sudden appearance. This sets the stage for talking animals, love spells, quirky blunders, and magical mishaps, not to mention a wicked witch.

While the plot might seem a bit cliché, it delivers precisely what it promises: a mix of magic, love, and humor. It's a lighthearted novel with all the elements of a fun potion. If you're into the supernatural and enjoy a bit of romance and laughter, this book might be your cup of tea.

It’s taken me this long to write this review because I wanted to love it. I wanted to enjoy it for spooky season. I wanted to cheer for witches! The cover gives Roald Dahl whimsical fun witchy vibes, but this fell extremely flat for me.

This book was all over the place. As someone who gets confused easily, I didn’t know where in the world we were going with this one. One moment we’re with the cousins, now we’re with a cat? Insert Cardi B, “what was the reason”

Speaking of reason, why in the entire town did we have second cousins messing around? Why can’t we find another neighbor that isn’t remotely related? It gave me ick. Just like the cheating. It’s not fun, it’s not cute, it’s not edgy, it’s wrong.

A huge miss for me, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it.

Thanks for my gifted copy!

I was so excited about this since it had comparisons to Practical Magic, but it didn't quite hit for me. There was too much like, unlikely and too big things going on. It's a nice autumnal read but it didn't quite scratch the Practical Magic itch.

This was a really cute book! After loving The Ex Hex, I was excited to pick up another witchy rom-com, but this one is a little light on the rom to be honest. I still thought it was a fun comedy about a witch family who gets in quite the predicament. It made me smile a lot and is perfect to read for the Halloween season.

3 stars

Pros:
- fun, witchy read is great for Fall
- a nice blend of whimsy and humor
Cons:
- book is marketed as a rom-com, but while there is a romantic subplot, it’s not a romance
- romantic subplot does have elements of cheating

This was a fun, cozy, witchy mystery. I loved the hijinks. Very cute and funny. I look forward to reading more about the Cupcake Coven!

The novel had two-dimensional characters, lots of plot holes and inconsistencies and overall read more juvenile than I had expected.

Enjoyable read. Well written, and fully enjoyable.
The characters are funny and well-portrayed. I have enjoyed reading this book and I would definitely recommend it.

I fun and quirky book about family and magic. The storyline is good and fun and surprising at times. It’s easy to read.
The characters also fun and I especially like Esme. I also like how things turned out for everyone in the end. The ending made me happy

This book is an absolute delight! It's a hilarious and entertaining read that effortlessly pulls you in. While it has plot holes and far-fetched conclusions, the story revolves around three cousins from a banned magical family. Chaos ensues when a divorce turns a husband into a rabbit. Expect derailed situations, comedic moments, and unexpected complications. A solid three-star recommendation for a light, quick, and enjoyable escape!

This book would be great for someone who wants to experience a bit of magic in their life but doesn't want to go down the supernatural route.

This book was a good read but wasn't the most mind blowing.
I wanted more from the characters as at times found them confusing and a tad disjointed and ai just found I was left wanting more in general from this book

Good story. Some parts drug on though. The characters were well developed and you slowly became invested in the story. If you read this give it a couple chapters before you feel invested.

The perfect fall season read with magic, romance, and familial elements, I adored A Letter to Three Witches and highly recommend.

It was an ok book. I didn't feel much of anything towards it in either direction. The many characters were confusing sometimes.

I love all things witchy and this book did not disappoint on giving me that! Although this read wasn't the most amazing thing I've ever read, it also wasn't the worse. I think I fall in the middle with this one, though that's not to discredit the author or this book. It was a solid 3 star read for me.

Very difficult book to first get into, but once your in YOUR sucked in to a witchy magical romance. Can’t wait for the sequel
