Sometimes you just want to read something fun that doesn't make any sense. This book was one of those times. I didn't hate it but also didn't enjoy it because I was so confused. I know some scenarios can just be boiled down to "because romance" but why would Tannith have this plan in the first place, it seemed mean and was never really explained. Also recently there have been a handful of romance books where the male love interest is supposed to be all dreamy and caring but I just find them creepy. Jeremy popping up in the middle of the night is just a giant red flag, not romantic at all.

Magical mishaps abound in this light witchy read. Complete with a family curse, a mean sister, and a talking cat, this wild ride of a book was entertaining although not quite as fulfilling as I had hoped. This one was billed as Bewitched meets Practical Magic, but read much more like the former and not much like the latter.

This was such a little witchy book. Deff practical magic meets bewitched with a little bit of love mixed in. I just wish the relationship between the sisters and cousins were a little better and if they were all adults to lines act like adults. Other than that solid read just could have been better. Thank you netgalley for letting me review this book

This book was the perfect mix of Halloween and romance. A cute rom-com that reminded me of Practical Magic and a quirky side that reminded me of Halloweentown. I loved that this book wasn’t super predictable and will definitely be rereading closer to Halloween for the fall vibes.

This just wasn't for me, I had a hard time really getting invested in the beginning, but I loved the concept and it was a nice change to read paranormal done in a lighter way.

I love how so many things happened in the book. I could not keep myself from the book because it was so good

A Letter to Three Witches is a fun, light-hearted read. This is the perfect book to get you into the spooky season, particularly for those who don't like scary reads. I enjoyed the banter between the characters and the overall plot. Griz, the talking cat, was by far my favorite part of the book! Thank you, NetGalley and Kensington, for the arc.

Admittedly, this was not my favourite witchy romance novel.

I felt like the premise was there, but I didn’t feel overall excited about the direction the plot took.

Was it cute? Sure. Was the romance believable? Yes! For some reason, this just didn’t work for me, and that is naturally going to happen with any kind of media.

I with the author all the success possible.

This book started out a little slow as the storyline was unfolding, but once chaos started to ensue, I was all in for the magical ride. A fun story with well written characters that definitely needs a sequel.

While the premise of this book really intrigued me, thr writing just let me down. The dialogue was very simplistic, and the characters were juvenile. I'd still recommend this book for someone who wants to read some fun cat content, but if you want a romantic witchy read... this just isn't it.

This books is a Paranormal romance on the lighter side. It started off a bit slow (whoch is not necessarily a negative thing) and I quickly foud myself enjoyeding the its lighheartedness and humorous fun but my favorite part was the cat's POV! I find that truly original.

This is the perfect book to pass the time.

This book was very cute and I loved the family aspect. It did go a little slow for me and I wanted a little more magic.

The synopsis didn't match up with what actually took place in the book, imo. It veered wildly into problems that Trudy and there was little to show for Tannith's threat about bewitching someone to run away with her. There was also not a lot of actual tension nor any romance between Gwen and Jeremy. The romance subplot just flatlined for me.

it felt like a rom-com and that's exactly what i was expecting. it reminded me of the kind of sitcom i would watch as a kid, like sabrina or something but with funnier banter

Not gonna lie, it took me almost a year to finish this book. I think I started it last September to get a jump on spooky season, and I finished it yesterday. Maybe I should've just DNF'd it around the 30% or 50% marks since at both points I was beyond bored and had ridden several tidal waves of irritation at most of the characters. I kept going, though, and I do think in the end I'm glad I did.

But man, it was a long road to redemption.

The first half of this book is painfully slow. Just painfully slow. That's not normally an issue for me, but because I was so looking forward to this one, it just made it worse. I spent the first quarter of it not really liking anyone. The characters were at best, boring (looking at you, Gwen) and at worst, insanely irritating in a way I think was meant to be endearing but my god I couldn't stand them (TRUDY). I didn't find any of the characters actually enjoyable until we got to Aunt Esme (who frankly, for a cranky old bat, was easily a top three character for me and is probably who I want to be when I grow up).

Except for Griz, who is getting his own star.

However. I acknowledge that one person's "so annoying I would rather listen to an entire soundtrack that's just nails on a chalkboard overlaid with a toddler having a temper tantrum than ever have to be in a room with this sort of person" is another persons "quirky and zany" in the way that I'm sure the author intended us to take most of her characters.

Now, once I got over the hurdle that was the first 50% and kind of made myself chill out and just read it, it's nice enough. A little romp with a little magic and a perfectly sufficient amount of romance. Jokes aside, I found I liked it more when I focused on the background and minor characters more than the main ones, and even Gwen had grown on me by the end. I don't regret reading it but I think I would have regretted it if I'd stopped when I initially wanted to quit. Which is to say the second half is redeeming enough that I'm still glad I read it.

The plot is still Swiss cheese it's so full of holes, but it's fine I guess. If I don't think about it, it's fine. There wasn't even a reason for it to be this complicated and nonsensical other than I think it was trying really hard for whimsy and just took on too much. My advice? Don't overthink this one. It's light and fun enough, but once you start looking for consistency in the plot, you'll lose the fun.

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

⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- 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 enchanted rom-com follows the lives of a trio of witches whose family was banned from practising magic, or they risk serious trouble with the Grand Council. But when romance causes their powers to go berserk, they must get their magic – and their love lives – in order before it’s too late.

This novel gave me all the Bewitched / Wandavision / Sabrina vibes. We watch the trio frantically learn and use their powers, despite nosey neighbours and small-town niceties. Alternate POV chapters offer the sense of lurking and waiting, that builds the anticipation of the narrative. It was a slightly slower pace than I would have liked. But it was such a great twist on the contemporary rom-com structure.

A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass was the first book I finished this year and I recommend picking it up if you are looking for a light read to brighten up what can be a very dreary season. A mix of small town mystery and contemporary romance, it reminded me a lot of the Ex Hex by Erin Sterling as well as Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

A Letter to Three Witches starts off with three cousins, Milo, Gwen and Trudy receiving an ominous letter from their conniving cousin, Tannith. In this letter Tannith explains that she is leaving their small town and will be taking one of her cousins’ significant others with her. Milo, Gwen and Trudy are of course anxious to figure out who’s significant other is being targeted. And it doesn’t help matters that Trudy seems to be dabbling with magic, which the entire family is forbidden to do. Or the fact that grad student, Jeremy seems to be watching the three cousins quiet closely, especially Gwen. Can the cousins save their relationships from Tannith? And the better question is, do they want to?

I found A Letter to Three Witches to be highly entertaining reading. The story is told from the POV of Gwen, one of the three cousins and Griz, Tannith’s black cat familiar. I found both POVs incredibly enjoyable. Gwen’s POV was obviously more relatable especially when it came to some of the challenges she was facing such as a bit of an identity crisis and coming to terms with a relationship not going the way she would have liked. And Griz’s POV had me in stiches as I think many people would agree that it is both strange and funny to imagine how our pets might view our lives.

The plot itself was a mix of mystery, romance and comedy. The cousins spend the majority of the story trying to figure out what Tannith’s agenda is and how to put a stop to it. At the same time, Tannith’s plotting forces them to tackle their latent magical powers and their place in the magical community as witches who are forbidden from practicing due to a mishap that occurred almost a hundred years ago. Reading about how the cousins find themselves in one magical mishap after the other and attempt to use a combination of social media, a spell book and some old fashioned chemistry was just hilarious. And the romance, whether it was a cousin finding new love or rekindling the romance with his/her partner, was heartwarming. Be prepared for multiple “Aw” moments.

Overall, this is a heartwarming read that is perfect for a cold winter evening.

This was a fun book, especially if you enjoy witchy reads. The characters were quirky and the plot was entertaining. There were some funny scenes with enchanted cupcakes and transformations thatmade me laugh out loud. Overall it was a quick read. There were some unanswered questions so I’m hoping there will be a sequel.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book it's definitely a title I will reach for again in the future it's well written and held my attention throughout
