I found this book to be whimsical and fun. The writing style drew me in from the very beginning, and the cozy witchy vibes were exactly my cup of tea (pun intended).

Thank you Atria Books for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved this book! It's the perfect read for the beginning of fall. The title and cover of The Crescent Moon Tearoom instantly drew me in. The story follows the three Quigley sisters, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet, as they embark on a journey of self-discovery and learn that change, although uncomfortable, is necessary. I adored the portrayal of the sisters' relationship and the idea that allowing each individual to grow and flourish is essential for true love and connection.

The author's vivid descriptions made me feel like I could taste and smell the teas, biscuits, and treats mentioned in the book. I found myself torn between finishing the book and heading to the kitchen to bake my own treats and brew some tea! The inclusion of tasseography at the beginning of each chapter piqued my interest and inspired me to do some research outside of the book. Even the house itself was a loveable character!

Although the book has a cozy and fantastical feel, it also touches on realistic aspects of self-discovery and sisterhood. Reading it felt like a journey of growing up, where we cherish our childhood memories with nostalgia, often unaware that new memories and experiences will soon become new sources of nostalgia. Overall, it was the epitome of coziness, I wanted to be a part of their world, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

🌙 The Crescent Moon Tearoom - Stacy Sivinski

4.25 ⭐️ - This book was so magical and easy to fall in love with. Sister-ship, magic, and mysterious tasks fill the pages with excitement. I so needed this book right now and i’m SO happy I picked it up to start October.

This book was magical (obviously), cozy, and whimsical. I loved the storyline with all of the sisters but I enjoyed that each sister had their own story and path too. I loved learned about how their magic helps and hurts them in their life and seeing how eventually each sister grew into her own being. AND don’t even get me started on the house being its own character. This was a quick read for me. It was easy to keep the sisters straight and their stories kept me engaged. I honestly wanted more. I definitely recommend this one if you’re looking for a cozy fall, witchy vibes, feel good read!

No book says "Jackie" like a book about tea and witches. A family curse is trying to separate Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley, witch triplets run the Crescent Moon Tearoom. When the witch counsel comes for a visit, the sisters are given an ultimatum. They must help three witches find their life's purpose before it's too late and only then can they stay together and keep their beloved tearoom.

The sisters each have ideas on how to help the other witches but they also feel themselves being pulled apart. Is the pull away from each other a curse or their destiny?


This magical book gave me the same feeling as The Night Circus. Sivinski's writing is so descriptive, that I felt the words coming off the page. The house is one of my favorite characters with a personality that made me laugh and despite the fact that the sisters were triplets, their personalities were completely distinct.

The Crescent Moon Tea Room is a delightfully cozy and charmingly heartwarming read centered on a trio of witchy sisters who are all at turning points in their lives. Given a serious task by the power witch council of Chicago, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley must work together to complete their mission while resisting the various temptations that threaten their sisterly bonds.

I enjoyed every second of this story; it’s the perfect curl up with a cup of tea and snuggle under a cozy blanket fall read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

3.75 stars.

A fun, warm-hearted story about witches, sisters/sisterhood, and magic. The sisters were very likeable, the magic interesting, and the setting was well-described; the house itself was a character and I could see it and the tearoom in my mind.

An easy to read, likeable story about family that makes a perfect, cozy, witchy read for fall.

Thanks to the publisher for this complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

After losing their parents, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley run a magical teashop, where every cup of tea reveals a story. But everything shifts when the Council of Witches arrives with unsettling news—the city Diviner has lost her powers.

As Anne’s magic grows stronger, Beatrix’s writing gets noticed by a big publisher, and Violet is drawn to the circus and a charming trapeze artist. Their once close-knit paths begin to diverge, and a family curse seems to be driving them apart.

If you’re looking for a witchy, autumn read that’s not centered on romance, this is the perfect pick. The Quigley sisters’ teashop is a cozy little haven, but when the Council of Witches steps in, their lives take unexpected turns. This heartfelt story of sisterhood beautifully explores how personal dreams can change family bonds. It’s sweet, sad, heartwarming, and nostalgic, leaving me full of hope.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC! 📚☕️🍁🧙‍♀️

if you’re looking for the coziest book to go with your warm cup of tea, this is it!

📖 stacy sivinski’s debut novel is about three clairvoyant sisters who find out they are cursed to be pulled apart. as their lives slowly begin untangling from each other, fate starts to threaten their tea reading business and their sisterhood

this was such a charming tale right off the bat. at its heart this has such an endearing message that serves as a reminder that your path is always changing 🤎 i just found myself wanting a little bit more the whole time!

i think the book’s biggest downfall was its lack of focus. there are three main characters, two major conflicts that are seemingly unrelated, and not a ton of development in the magic system. the plot had potential in the beginning but anytime a something big was revealed toward the end, it was followed up by an explanation because there were so many loose threads in the storytelling

sivinski immediately captures the sisters’ relationships — quips, nagging and all — so well! i wish i had more time with them all together, i didn’t feel any of the rising tension that was mentioned because they hardly worked together. i know they were on finding themselves as individuals, but it ended up feeling like three separate stories that got patched together in the third act

even though it was slow at times and could’ve used more development, i think this is begging to be adapted into a movie. the prose is honestly so enchanting, and there’s something so nostalgic about the writing style that it feels like you’re reading a classic fairytale ✨ i could see it coming to life so easily on the big screen!

I was looking for something witchy for spooky season and this was perfect!

Triplets Anne, Beatrix, and Violet run a magical tea shop. With no other family since the loss of their parents, the sisters are extremely close. They run the shop together and live above it together.
Everything is going great until the Council shows up. They have a task for the sisters to complete. If they fail, they will lose everything.

I had a great time with this. It had the witchy vibes I was looking for. I loved the characters, especially the house. I would love more from this author.

Thank you to Negalley and Atria Books for this Advanced Reader Copy.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is cozy, witchy, magical read- perfect for fall. The book follows three sisters that are navigating owning a tea room where they read tea leaves while also trying to be their own individuals. The house is magical and so are the cast of characters. I loved the magic, the sisters, and the characters. My small compliant is that it felt a little long at times but still was a fun read.

This book is wonderful! It’s perfect for the fall season. It follows three witch sisters that run a tearoom. Customers flock to the tearoom for the wonderful tea and treats but also to have their tea leaves read by one of the sisters. The sisters are randomly approached by the witches council and they are given a task they have to complete by a certain time or their tearoom will be closed permanently. This leads the sisters down individual paths of secrecy and deception. This book teaches that forging your own path in life is necessary. It doesn’t mean you are leaving the people you love behind.

This book had everything. It had witches and magic and dilemma and some romance. It was everything my heart needed going into the spooky season. I’m so glad I was able to read this story!

This was an enchanting, witchy mystery about sisterhood. The cozy tearoom where ladies in town come have their fortunes read and hear the latest gossip was the perfect backdrop. Full of magic, fate and secrets, the Quigley sisters are asked to help the Council of Witches as they try to stop an impending curse from changing their lives. One of my favorite aspects of the book was the house! It has its own character and changes based on the activity and feelings going on inside. Grab a blanket, a cup of your favorite tea and cozy up with this story!

An absolutely delightful cozy read following three sister witches who own a fortune telling tea shop.

Violet, Anne. And Beatrix each have their own unique personality and you cannot help loving them! I absolutely adored this debut by @stacy_sivinski and cannot wait for more. This book was short and sweet, had a very exciting mystery element and our favourite witchy tropes.
🔮
Curl on the couch with a warm blanket and sip your favourite tea, The Crescent Moon Tearoom delivers a warm hug and joyous reading experience. Probably one of my favourite cozy reads this fall! It is currently available now! So please go and grab yourself a copy of this delightful little book and let me know which Quigley sister is your favourite!

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is so vastly different than the books I typically read, but I had the best time with it! I was so intrigued from the cover & blurb alone. But I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the atmosphere of the book & the plot itself.

The Quigley sisters are triplet witches who turned their childhood home into a tearoom for their seer abilities after their parents passed on. Things start driving the women apart when the Council declares they must help three struggling witches to find their Task before their life ends & they're stuck in the between. While devoting their time to this cause, they each find themselves being lured farther away by their own interests, abilities, and ambitions. But can they come back together to uncover the three Tasks and remain a strong family? Or will they be driven apart from each other for good?

I truly enjoyed the magic system, especially that of the house! It was so much fun & truly felt like another character added to the story. Likewise, Tabitha the cat, was so interesting moving through time & coming back with trinkets. I enjoyed getting to know each of the Quigley sisters: Anne, Beatrix, and Violet. They were each so much fun & brought me to tears twice before I finished reading the book. Though I'm not usually one for women's / literary fiction, The Crescent Moon Tearoom hit the spot & was the perfect way to transition into the fall season!

Thakn you to NetGalley, Atria Books, and Stacy Sivinski for sending me an early copy!

A cozy fantasy about three witch sisters who navigate the conflict of a curse that is meant to pull them apart. This story was a cute and sweet one about sisterhood and individuality, and how they can coincide with one another.

I enjoyed this story very much. I grew up with a brother, but with this story, I felt the love these sisters have for each other, the support they so desperately want to give and receive, and the lightness of when they finally do.

4.5 stars. What an absolutely delicious novel.

It’s a perfect cozy fantasy: the main plot equally weaves alongside the characters’ development. It would’ve been easy to let the readers get distracted or bogged down with POVs from each sister but this story weaves them in the most natural, conversational way. Anne, Beatrix, and Violet are all such interesting characters in their own way, and I really enjoyed how they worked through the struggle of wanting change but also to keep things exactly as they are.

An amazing debut novel - wholeheartedly recommend for someone looking for a book that reads like a perfect cup of tea.

Thank you to NetGalley, Stacy Sivinski, and Atria Books for a review copy.

A story about sisterhood, magic, and finding oneself.
This was a lovely read. Three sisters who have a close relationship, begin to see it fraying when they're told of a curse that will pull them apart. It's a story of maintaining family bonds while also living a life of your own. Which many of us can connect with, and here it is done incorporating magic. The magical system in this book is quieter, no flashy spells flying from fingertips. It feels more lived in, innate, and less outwardly projected. It makes this feel even more cozy. That along with a sweetly tempermental sentient house (which I'm always a fan of) that becomes almost it's own character. It is loveable, as well as the other characters. A good cold weather read to cozy up with a warm drink and fuzzy blanket.
This would be a 4.5 star read, rounded up to 5.

This story was bewitching in the coziest, fluffiest, most magical way it could be. Anne, Beatrix, and Violet have a special bond that only the luckiest of sisters get to enjoy. I loved loved loved the descriptions of the teas and treats they served at the tea room, and I especially enjoyed following along as each sister began to travel her own path! The only frustration I came across was that the story seemed to move a little bit slower at some parts and it took me longer than I thought to finish it.
BUT if you’re looking for a sweet, magical, family-oriented read this fall, this is it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the opportunity to read this book! All opinions are my own :)

Book: The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacy Sivinski
Themes/Tropes: Family ties, Fate/Destiny, Magical Historical Fiction

The Crescent Moon Tearoom first and foremost is all heart and that feeling that you can embrace whatever change even if it is scary. You will fall in love with the characters and the world building shortly into the book. The novel follows three sisters as they realize what their destinies hold even if it isn’t being inseparable as they had always assumed.

This was a great book to start the spooky season as it is a cozy read about witches coming into their own not only in terms of their abilities but also as young women. It reminds us to do something that scares you because the results could be amazing. I didn’t want to leave this world that Stacy Sivinski built and I was left feeling so happy for everyone but wanting more!

This is one I would recommend to start a good spooky season of reading with a warm hug of a novel that leaves you feeling just hopeful for great things.

this book was a very all-right read: in my opinion, it had too much whimsy, not enough actual interesting plot. it relied heavily on the vibes of sister witches running a tea shop, but the sister relationships were uninspiring and the magic and politics were underdeveloped.

the whimsy of this book was fun, and the vibes did take it pretty far. if you’re into the unbreakable bond of sisters that overcomes selfishness and destiny and all that, you might buy into the story a bit more, but I just saw three people who weren’t very compatible but were all sad about their dead mom. maybe as a non-sister-haver I just don’t get it. but I really didn’t feel their bond come through.

the mysteries in the small quests of the book weren’t bad, they just weren’t enough to carry on their own. some of the side characters were quite fun as well. just overall, not really anything that made me excited to keep reading.
