A Letter to Three Witches was a delightful rom com that was full of fantastic elements that I loved exploring. The characters were extremely fun to get to know, and I sped through the book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Rating: 4.5: quirky, spontaneous, and mundanely witchy: A Letter to Three Witches was an eccentric and refreshing take on a witchy story that was just offbeat enough to be ridiculously enjoyable.

A witch really, really screwed up in the magic community, bad enough that their family was banned from practicing magic by the Grand Council of Witches. Flash forward, and we follow the shenanigans of three cousins (whose ancestor was said witch, and have been consequently banned from practicing magic) as they each receive the same letter (hence, a letter to three witches. Very literal of a title there). The trio faces magical, familial, and relationship problems while living as un-witch-like as possible (I wouldn’t say it’s strictly a magical, romance, or family-drama book… it’s sort of a comedy mixed with those aspects?).

I had no clue where the book was going half the time, but I really enjoyed that aspect. It was adult without being smutty or woe-is-middle-aged-me; the characters had jobs and relationships, but were silly with just a touch of immaturity and terrible decision-making just as all humans are (or at least feel). I never felt like the story was dragging and the plot twisted and turned enough to keep you guessing (or keep you in a state of second-hand embarrassment for the characters). Sometimes the happenings got a little far-fetched or ridiculous, but I found that mostly enjoyable.

Random things I loved: regardless of gender, everyone was called a witch. There was a Chasten Buttigieg reference. And you get a few chapters in the POV of a cat.

A Letter to Three Witches was wonderfully kooky. I highly recommend for something silly and palate cleansing.

Full review posted to Goodreads and will post abridged review to Instagram upon publication.

I definitely enjoyed this tale finely woven by Elizabeth Bass. With charm, twists, trills characters you’ll enjoy A Letter to Three Witches is one most are bound to enjoy.

Gwen and her cousins, Trudy and Milo, have been forbidden from practicing magic - all thanks to an ancestor and a spell that went awry. So far they've managed lived on the straight and narrow (no one wants the Council to punish them!). Well, as much as they can. But both magic and drama are about to upend their lives, especially after Gwen's foster sister Tannith sends them all a mysterious letter.

I found this exceptionally difficult to get into and I was thinking "oh this reaaaally isn't for me". But once the rough start was over and done with, I started to enjoy the shenanigans in Zenobia. Gwen, Trudy and Milo are great characters - I feel like I know them after all that craziness. But Tannith was a Passions-grade villain (not my thing) and oooh that rough start. That said, A Letter to Three Witches is a bit of witchy fun that may just brighten your afternoon.

I enjoyed this book a lot more than I expected when I first started it. It is kind of like a modern day “Bewitched” with Gwen being Samantha who has a crazy family. There is even a nosy neighbor. I laughed out loud at parts and found myself wanting to know what happens next. A great fun, diverting read!

This was a cute story that at first was somewhat hard to follow but once you got the gist of it, it became easier. The protagonist is a witch who was banned from casting spells and is about to lose the love of her life to another witch. Can she get her magic back or is she doomed forever. This is a very fast paced read that you will be able to finish pretty quickly.

This was a really nice fast paced book and I enjoyed a lot of the characters. It was a fun read and was laughing throughout the majority of the story. I was a little confused at first but I soon found the rhythm of the book.

This book was such a fun, entertaining read. Gwen and her cousins have been banned for decades from using magic. All of this is quickly turned upside down by their adopted cousin and her cryptic letter. Plot twists keep you guessing until the very end! Recommend this book to those who love magic and mystery!


I’d like to thank the publisher for providing me a copy via NetGalley.

The story was fast paced and quite comical. However, if you’re someone who likes to progress with books, then this one might not be for you. It’s a fun read and it’s very quick.

A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass is a great, contemporary, paranormal romcom that is full of sass, action, fun, and of course…witches!

This was a fun, entertaining, quirky, and unique book. There were so many elements that the author incorporated: humor, romance, mystery, suspense, romance, paranormal/fantasy concepts all into an addictive, complex, but yet light and fast-paced narrative.

I enjoyed the full cast of characters and the addition of the complex, complicated, and flawed family. Gwen, Milo, Trudy and the extended family are well-drawn, they family dynamics are not to be forgotten any time soon. There is magic, mayhem, twists, turns, and surprises as the mysteries and battle of control takes place. Never a dull moment in this small and “sleepy” town in NY to say the least. This book really does have it all.

A very unique and wonderful novel that really has put me into the mood for pumpkins, witches, black cats, and Halloween spirit. (Halloween is my most favorite holiday ever, so anything that can conjure up that sensation for me has to have a feather added to its hat.)

4/5 stars

Thank you NG and Kensington for this wonderful arc and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

I am posting this review to my GR and Bookbub accounts immediately and will post it to my Amazon, Instagram, and B&N accounts upon publication.

Three witches bound by a huge magic mistake of years past find themselves in huge dilemmas when they receive a letter from another witch. The letters throw them into turmoil causing all sorts of disasters.
It is a fun book that I thoroughly enjoyed.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Everything about this book was…ok. The writing was good, but the plot was just ok. It was hard to get through, to be perfectly honest. The best parts were from the cat’s point of view.

A Letter to Three Witches by E. Bass, published by Kensington Books, is a witty and fun rom/com. the storyline is pretty unique, the writing is great and I loved this pnr story.
Gwen and her cousins want the magic back they were banned from a long time ago. They charm their way through the story in a highly entertaining way. A great read, 4,5 beautiful stars.

I very much enjoyed A Letter to Three Witches though I wished it had been a bit more steeped in the mythology. Still, it was a very breezy read and I'm always an advocate for more paranormal romance. Thanks so much to NetGalley and Kensington for the advanced read in exchange for an honest review!

Bravo for this wonderful book that finally brings light fantasy to women’s audience.
I quite enjoyed following the story of three modern day witches trying to live their lives as normal as possible. Bring in a villain, some romance and clever words (Yes, BrewTube…) and I will look forward for the sequel.

Gwen is a witch who follows all the magical rules until extraordinary events put everything and everyone under a new light.

This a feel good book that makes you wish for more, much more.

Quick, quirky, fun read.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC. #ALettertoThreeWitches #Netgalley

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!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.

A Letter to Three Witches
Elizabeth Bass
Gwen, Milo, Trudy
A zany tale about three witches, Cousins Gwen, Milo and Trudy around Halloween. They each receive a letter from another cousin, Tannith, saying she was moving to New York and intimating she was going to take one of their significant others with her. They’d grown up with Tannith and each is sure she’ll run off with their boyfriend or husband. This throws them all in a tizzy. Then Trudy’s husband tells her he wants a divorce, and in a fit of anger, she turns him into a rabbit. Totally by accident. You see their family of witches has been banned from using magic so she really didn’t think she had any. The rest of the novel involves them trying to undo the hex while keeping it a secret- from nosy neighbors, the police and a persistent graduate assistant. And they go to bizarre lengths to do so.
This is a fun romp of a tale. There is even a sentient black cat involved! I would recommend this book to my patrons and would enjoy adding it to my Halloween readers advisory lists

I wanted this book to be so much better than it was. It was cute and had possibility but felt a little clunky and flat to me. All of the bad things that happened were so extreme and could've been easily fixed if everyone had just communicated properly. None of the relationships felt very healthy, familial and romantic. No one listened to each other. It was a light fluffy read that could've been so much better.

It was a good book. At first I had a hard time getting through it. It is a unique story! The characters are well described and you empathized with them.
