I love all things witchcraft and I thought this book was adorable. It was a light, fun read, but it didn't quite live up to what I anticipated it to be. I finished the book feeling like my curiosities weren't answered. The build up of wondering who, if anyone, could be a Watcher was great, but the "big reveal" wasn't as surprising as I thought it would be and the ending felt too rushed. I wanted more of an understanding of WHO the Counsel was and I don't think I got enough closure as to Odin was or how he was so powerful.

If there's a sequel in the making, then scratch what I've said.
All in all, it was cute and would still be a fun read in the Fall!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and review this title!

This was a magical, quirky and sweet story. The writing was good with a fast paced plot. It was a quick read, very light hearted and perfectly witchy.

My only complaint is that the romance wasn't all the convincing. It just didn't feel real... I don't know... Maybe it was because of the fast pace of the book...

Very entertaining. Very fun. Very lighthearted. I think I always go into the books expecting more paranormal then it actually delivers but that didn't stop me from enjoying!

What a cute book! I love a good book about witches and this one definitely hit the mark. While I usually read fantasy that tends towards the more serious side this lighthearted story was exactly what I needed to read between 2 lengthy drama filled books. Finished it in a weekend, if you like witches, romance, and a bit of mayhem this book is for you!

This was a cute read! I got it from Netgalley and ended up listening to it on Libby from my library after it came out. It remindedd me of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The main character Gwen and her family of witches are cursed by the grand council of witches and cannot practice magic. But one week changes all that and everything gets turned upside down. It’s laugh out loud funny, the characters were like able, and the story was just fun.

An interesting concept, unfortunately the execution did not work for me. It failed to hold my interest. Did not finish at 10%.

This was a fun, quickly read. The dynamics between Gwen, Milo, and Trudy were entertaining. Overall, there were quite a few plot holes that left me puzzled but I still enjoyed the antics and humor sewn through. It was still a fun, light read that is perfect when you’re craving some witchy-vibes.

A silly, amusing, hairbrained comedy about a witchy family who are forbidden to do magic. Completely enjoyed it, laughing at all the weird shenanigans going on, and would definitely recommend to a friend!

This was a fun read without too much to think about as the letters sent to the three witches had them jump into the investigation of the truth behind the words. The banter was light so was the mystery. This was the light read between my thrillers that I could finish within an afternoon.

I thought this was a really fun read with well-developed themes and an easy-to-follow narrative. I found the main character very likeable and thoroughly enjoyed this!

This was a fun, entertaining and hilarious reading! As a big fan of witches in fiction, it was a fresh and, at the same time, nostalgic story. I just felt like the plot holes and the way that some characters behaved were too much, and got in the way of the full experience of imersion. If you ignore this and look for a quit and happy reading, A letter to three witches is the perfect choice.

I wouldn’t call it good but I also wouldn’t call it bad. It’s quirky and comical, and it also reads quick. This is the type of read that you can dive into and out of and it won’t mess with the rhythm. A quick read that would be good for someone wanting a lighthearted, easy book to occupy their time and take their mind off things.

I’m a big lover of fantasy novels and modern romance, but did not love this book (sorry!)—unfortunately, the writing, plot and characters were all a bit lackluster. I found myself bored throughout the story. The cat as a narrator was intriguing, and I wish it had more of that.

I also find it difficult to believe how callous the cousins are toward one another—especially
with Tannith. It’s a bizarre relationship and I don’t find any of the characters to be compelling or particularly redeeming. I wish I had better feedback!

Cute story!!

Description
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?

“An enchanting paranormal rom-com…Fans of Practical Magic will be delighted.” —Publishers Weekly

Goodreads Hottest Romance of January

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?

Comedy and witchcraft make a bit of a goofy mix in this one.

So Much happening. So much.

It felt like every two pages more characters were running on stage to inject more sitcom-type wildness.

The 'Bewitched' comparison is actually pretty good - but sometimes situations/jokes need to breathe.


Thank you to NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are my own.

I am really thankful for the copy and chance to read it however I had to DNF. The cat right in the beginning really creeped me out. He just sounded very lustful after his human and from there I just couldn't get into it. It didn't work for me but maybe it will for someone else.

This is a light and fun read. It’s also hilarious. I’ve read a paranormal rom coms before, and this one was very enjoyable. It does have plot holes and the characters can be a bit exaggerated, but it was a nice break for me from my normal reads. I recommend to anyone looking something fun.

Such a great atmospheric book for Fall. I'll definitely be revisiting this one in falls to come. I love anything Witchy and this one is another winner.

This was such a cute book. The characters were fun and diverse and the storyline was complex enough to keep me interested while still being easy to follow. Highly recommend this witchy fantasy!

A Letter to Three Witches starts with exactly that - mischievous witch Tannith sending a malicious letter to three of her cousins that she hopes will sow discord within her family.

Chaos ensues. Family members get turned into rabbits. Cupcakes become enchanted. A spouse of one of the cousins may or may not be under the influence of a love spell. These events probably wouldn't be quite so distressing for normal witches, except that their family line is forbidden from doing magic. If word of any of it gets out, the cousins could be in serious trouble.

I'm pretty sure I requested this ARC believing it to be a witchy rom-com. It's definitely witchy, and there were quite a few moments that made me chuckle, but this book could have done without the romance subplot and been almost entirely the same. I actually quite liked that this story was more focused on familial relationships, it reminds me a bit of Charmed and Practical Magic, but I think it was a bit mis-marketed so I don't know if it will necessarily find its right audience.

Overall, this was a fun and charming time. It seems like it might be the beginning of a series which I wasn't expecting but I'd definitely be open to checking out any further installments.

Bonus points for the delightful kitty familiar POV in which he learns via daytime talk shows that his relationship with his mistress is potentially toxic. Poor Griz.
