I know NetGalley really encourages you to give a summary first but frankly, you can get that from the blurb and I am all swoony vibes over this one and want to jump right in to my review.

My setup: In the past 12 months, my mom has cheated death thrice. Shortly after she was surgically cured of cancer, my husband and I went for an anniversary weekend to Chicago, where I fell and broke my elbow and ankle. I've moved on to the PT stage now but if there was ever a time in my life that I wanted cozy magical comfort, it is now. Whew.

Even though Anne, Beatrix, and Violet are triplets, I really liked that they give oldest, middle, youngest vibes, because I think there is at least one character most people can relate to. The atmosphere in this book cannot be beat: though Chicago was mean to me, there's part of me that wants to go back and see if I can find a tea shop like this. I loved the house as a character and I thought the circus was as beautifully realized as the tea shop.

This book does suffer a little from mushy middle where the characters seem to spin in place a little, but I can forgive that because I thought Sivinski got herself out of it pretty quickly. I also thought the council of witches got off easy for their shady behavior and I wish there had been some kind of consequence for them. My biggest issue (which is just a me thing) is that i was desperate for recipes at the end. Do I want honeycake and scones to eat while I read this? Yes! Maybe the publisher will put them in some kind of reading group guide.

If you are in a place where you need some cozy fantastical comfort, or if you like atmospheric books for October that aren't scary, or if you liked the The Very Secrety Society of Irregular Witches, this is the book for you. 4.5 stars

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this debut novel early, All gushing is my own opinion, which becomes obvious if you look at my other NetGalley reviews.

Sivinski's debut novel, The Quigley Sisters, is a charming and cozy read that feels perfectly suited to the crisp beginning of October. This book wraps you in a comforting embrace, offering a serene and even-paced narrative that enhances its overall coziness.

The story introduces us to the triplet witch sisters—Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley—who, despite their shared appearance, possess unique strengths and interests. Following the death of their parents, the sisters have established a tearoom where they serve delectable desserts, tea, and fortunes. Their focus has always been on guiding others, but as a threatening curse looms and the Council of Witches imposes daunting tasks upon them, they are forced to embark on a journey of self-discovery.

The novel beautifully explores themes of personal growth and following one's dreams. The sisters' individual paths and personal development are portrayed with warmth and depth, making their journey both engaging and inspiring. Sivinski's writing captures the essence of a small, magical world where every detail contributes to the story's cozy atmosphere.

Overall, The Quigley Sisters is a delightful debut that successfully combines magic with heartfelt character exploration. It's a perfect read for those looking for a gentle, enchanting story that leaves you with a sense of calm and contentment. Highly recommended for fans of cozy mysteries and magical tales!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I will fully disclose that I initially requested this ARC because it included tea, witches, and a beautiful cover.

This turned out to be such a cozy read - and the beginning of October is such a perfect release date. It feels like a comforting hug that leaves you with a sense of calmness. It's a slower story but it's even-paced (which I think further adds to the coziness). This is Sivinski's debut book and I think she did a lovely job with it.

In this story, we meet triplet witch sisters (Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley) who are seers. After the death of their parents, they opened a tearoom where they serve desserts, tea, and fortunes. They've spent a lot of time focusing on the futures of others, but with the threat of a curse upon them and the Council of Witches requesting they complete seemingly impossible tasks, the sisters begin to explore their own paths.

While the sisters may look the same, except for their eye colors, they have vastly different strengths and interests. Ultimately, this story is about following your dreams and becoming who you were meant to be.

i can't believe this was a debut novel from this author. the author seemed liie she has been writing for her entire life or something. i feel like this book would be ideal to charmed fans. the 1998 charmed, not the poor excuse of a reboot

Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Crescent Moon Tearoom. I want to state upfront that I did DNF this book at 17% after realizing that I was not the intended audience for it.

This story is about a trio of witchy sisters set in Chicago in the late 1800s. Based on the cover, I expected this book to be on the relaxed side of the witch lit spectrum, perhaps with a romantic subplot. I would qualify this as cozy fantasy, as it is slower paced and has a somewhat distant narrative voice that errs on the side of telling rather than showing. I had hoped for something a bit faster-paced that dug into witchy phenomenon, rather than the more average descriptions of decor and chores.

I did enjoy the idea of a Jane Austen-esque teashop where the ladies of Chicago went to socialize and have little magics bestowed upon them, and the personality of the house is — in my opinion — a big selling point of this book.

Overall, this book was not for me but I do think that readers of authors such as Rebecca Thorne or C.S. Lewis might enjoy it.

Three sisters run a tearoom since the death of their parents, each with different abilities. When the Council of Witches
calling with three tasks to be completed or the tearoom will be closed, As the sisters deal with the challenges, each
is pulled in a different direction, putting their sisterly bond under stress. In the end, their mother's book will lead them to realize that their bond will remain as each follows her own path.
A charming story. about the bond between sisters.
#TheCrescentMoonTearoom #Atria #NetGalley

This was a well-written, well plotted book about triplet sister witches who must find thei own ways in the world and beat a magical curse. There's nothing wrong with this book. If you're looking for a lighter historical fantasy, you'll probably enjoy it. But there's nothing new or exciting about it, and it left me feeling a little meh. Sivinsky knows how to write a story, so I have hope that, much like her charcters, she'll come into her power when the time is right.

A cozy read, perfect for fall and winter where the three sisters all struggle with a curse and things probably would have gone sooner if they all just talked a little more. I loved the illustrations at the beginning of each chapter and enjoyed how all the characters were written. A great cozy read! 3.5/5

This was a cute cozy read which is my favorite kind! It made me wish I had a better relationship with my sister.

This book is a very cute, cozy story about three sisters and their magical tearoom. The star of this book is how the author built the setting. It's so easy to imagine yourself in the tea shop. Definitely check this one out if you love a cozy setting.

Firstly, a huge thank you to the publisher, Atria Books, the author, Stacy Sivinski, and NetGalley for the privilege of reading a digital ARC copy of The Crescent Moon Tearoom. It was truly a privilege, as it was a cute, cozy, and enchanting read that immerses you in the magical world of the Quigley sisters: Anne, Beatrix, and Violet. I will post my review to Goodreads and Amazon upon release.

The trio runs a tearoom together that is described with such vivid detail that you can almost smell the fragrant teas and pastries, feel the warmth of the candlelight, and sense the inviting nature, creating an atmosphere that is both mystical and comforting.
The sisters' bond and individual growth are at the heart of this captivating novel. Anne, Beatrix, and Violet each bring their own strengths to the mix. Their character development is beautifully portrayed in each of their tasks they must complete, learning to rely on one another and growing closer in the process. These tasks force them out of their comfort zone in certain ways they need, bringing new skills and personality traits to each sister in a satisfying way.

Sivinski’s writing transports readers to the enchanting Crescent Moon Tearoom, where every corner is filled with magic and charm. The world-building and attention to detail in the descriptions makes it easy to imagine yourself sitting at one of the tearoom’s cozy tables, sipping on a cup of enchanted tea, watching the sisters putter around and figure out their struggles. Beware, as it’ll make you wish there was a Crescent Moon Tearoom near you that you could pop into. This was so feel-good and sweet, with excellent plot pacing and developments that keep you turning the pages and wanting to know how it will all turn out.

In summary, “Crescent Moon Tearoom” is a delightful escape into a world of warmth, magic, and sisterly love. The Quigley sisters' journey is heartwarming, and Sivinski’s ability to create an immersive, witchy atmosphere makes this book a perfect read for anyone seeking a touch of enchantment. Would recommend this for readers of cozy fantasy, witchy fantasy, relaxing reads, feel good reads, character development, relationships, sisterly bonding, and family stories.

4.2/5 stars

An extremely cozy fairy tale for adults, I adored the tearoom and would love to visit. It did occasionally slip over the line into twee, which is why it dipped to 4 stars, but it truly is still delightful.

This book is pumpkin spice and apple cider donuts wrapped up in a comfy blanket. It is going to be the perfect cozy fantasy for the fall and I can't wait for people to fall in love with the Quigley sisters as much as I did. Though most of us don't have powers, premonitions and Fate to contend with, we still can identify with the struggle of growing up and growing apart which made this books all that more magical! I cannot wait to reread this in a few months with a cup of tea and a lavender biscuit

Triplet witch sisters own a cozy tea room where they serve tea, pastries and fortunes. They soon discover that they are starting to forge their own paths. Anne, whose powers are the strongest any witch has seen in decades, struggles with letting go of the past. Beatrix is delving into a new power while writing a book. Violet dreams of flying. The three sisters must figure out a way to help three elderly witches find their Task all the while trying to break a curse. Will they be torn apart by these trials?

I can't believe this is a debut novel by Stacy Sivinski. This book was so heartwarming and cozy! 5 cups of tea for me. I will definitely be getting a physical copy on October 1, 2024 so I can annotate in it!

Thank you for this ARC!


The cover is what drew me into this cozy fantasy. This book is magical, including modern witches and Gould. I recommend this book to fans of cozy fantasy.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacy Sivinski is a novel about three sisters who serve tea, scones, and visions of the future in their quaint tea shop. Anne finds that her power is far stronger than she ever imagined, Beatrix realizes her dream of writing a novel is coming true, and Violet takes to the high wire to fly with the circus. Meanwhile, there’s a family curse that may drive them apart and the witches’ council may shut down their tearoom.

I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy magic, sisterhood, and a whimsical story. The descriptions of the tearoom are atmospheric and it’s easy to imagine yourself having a lovely cup of tea and learning your future. Each sister has a unique story that demonstrates their abilities as a witch and the family secrets are unraveled to reveal a magical ending.

Thank you Atria Books and Netgalley for the advanced reader copy. All opinions are my own.

4.5, rounded up to 5 stars

Many of the reviews describe this book as cozy and they are not wrong. Captivating early on, the atmosphere is rich with scent, magic, warmth, and intrigue. I love that the house is personified, giving a sense of enchantment and family ties. A beautiful novel about finding oneself, family obligation and how love changes over time. I have had many feelings while reading this, and think it is perfect to cozy up with for autumn with a warm tea once it releases Oct 1. st.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for tis ARC in exchange for an honest review.

"The Crescent Moon Tearoom" by Stacy Sivinski is a sweet, cozy fantasy following the triplets Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley as they strive to stay together and challenge fate after the death of their parents.

The Quigley sisters are seers who live in a sentient house and run a tea shop. They also have a cool cat who can travel through time. Besides serving enchanted tea, they read their customers' fortunes via tea leaves. They can see anyone's future but their own. Their tranquil lives are disrupted when the Council of Witches demands that they reveal the tasks of three old witches or lose their shop. All witches have a task to complete before their death, or dire consequences will ensue.

Each sister has her own talent and personality. Anne is the most stable and powerful of the three, Violet is a creature of action, and Beatrix is the dreamy one. The plot thickens when the sisters discover there is a curse designed to separate them. They find themselves being pulled in different directions and have to find a way to stay together without losing their dreams if they can.

Overall, I enjoyed the book, but it was quite slow to start and took me a while to get into the meat of the story. Once I got in, I couldn't stop reading. I loved the premise and the idea of an enchanted tea shop and a sentient house. A house that cleans itself and does the dishes?? I want one too! And drinking tea while getting a reading is the perfect combination. I loved the writing and could envision the setting. I also loved the heading of each chapter and the descriptions beneath it, portending what is to come.

The book explores themes of sisterhood, self-discovery, fate, destiny, choices, and magic. The message that sometimes to stay close you have to let go came loud and clear. I loved the bond between the sisters, although they irritated me at times. They wanted to stay together, yet let their secrets (each has one) pull them apart. Besides Anne, the others didn't do much to overcome the curse. I did love how each found their own path, though.

The author writes the scenery and atmosphere of the Tearoom so well that you’ll be able to smell the mouth-watering scones and cakes and almost taste the flavors of tea. It certainly gave me the desire for a good cup of tea, preferably with my fortune told. If you're looking for a feel-good read that leaves you warm inside, this is your cup of tea (pun intended). This novel has great characters you can deeply connect with and care about, a great premise, and sweeping writing.

* Thank you NetGalley and (publisher) for the opportunity to read this arc. All opinions are my own.

What a cute, heartwarming story. Following each sister as they forged their own path while fighting to remain close was just lovely.

I hope this reader continues this in a series!

This was so good! I can’t believe it was a debut novel. It was so cozy and heart warming. I love the bond between the sisters but also them as individuals and the idea of self discovery. I blew through it so quickly and would highly recommend. Adding to our library 100%. Can’t wait to read what she writes next.
