the vibe of this book really dragged me in. the pov throughout was definitely interesting but it didn’t make the book hard to read. all of the characters had so much personality that it was hard not to love them. the writing was orchestrated just perfectly that i truly did not want to put the book down. i was captivated from beginning to end and i’m quite excited to read other books by this author!

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a cozy witchy story about sisterhood and finding what truly makes you happy in life.

Crescent Moon Tearoom follows the lives of 3 young witches of the Chicago Coven, the Quigleys; Anne, Violet, and Beatrix, some of the strongest witches of their time. Within the first few chapters I was immediately intrigued and wanted to keep reading about the sisters and the tough decisions they’ll have to make to find their individual happiness. However, towards the end I found myself skimming, as many parts of the chapters felt repetitive. Luckily, the end of the book does provide answers and even made me tear up a little bit!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC copy!

The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacy Sivinski
3 stars

Three orphaned witches, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet, offer tea leaf readings at their busy teashop. One day, the Council of Witches arrives in their shop, and tell the sisters they must figure out three witches' "tasks", or risk losing their beloved teashop. Though the sisters have been inseparable since birth, they suddenly find themselves being drawn in different directions. Anne, to the development of new magic within her. Beatrix, to her novel writing, and Violet, to a handsome trapeze artist at a travelling circus. Are the sisters doomed to be separated, or can they find a way to stay together? What is their fate?

I love a good witchy read, especially in the autumn months, so I had high expectations for The Crescent Moon Tearoom. Unfortunately, this book didn't captivate me as much as I had hoped. It felt like too many different storylines, while at the same time, not enough happening in each to keep my interest. I felt like the storyline dragged quite a bit. I enjoyed the magic, the tealeaf reading, and the sisterly bond. The premise was such an interesting one, but I feel like this book could be significantly improved if the flow of the storylines were re-evaluated. While I think many readers would enjoy this, it was just a 3-star read for me.

This was a cozy heartfelt quick easy read! It was a story of 3 sisters that had to prove them selves to the town, their house and the Council. All so they could keep their magical tea shop open.

Thank you to NetGalley, Atria Books, and the author for the gifted e-book.

This captivating debut novel is an enchanting blend of cozy atmosphere and witchy charm. From the very first page, I found myself utterly spellbound by the entwined lives of the three sisters as they embarked on a journey of self-discovery. The portrayal of their bond unraveling as they pursued their individual destinies was both poignant and mesmerizing. The addition of the enchanted house, attuned to their emotions, added an extra layer of magic to the story.

The author's skillful writing brought the teas and their meanings to life, making them almost tangible for the reader. The delightful tea cup illustrations and the tea reading interpretations at the beginning of each chapter were a delightful touch that added depth to the narrative.

If you're a fan of cozy, witchy tales, I wholeheartedly recommend immersing yourself in the enchanting world of this book. It's a truly bewitching read that will leave you longing for more.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a debut novel by Stacy Sivinski, following the story of witch sisters; Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley in turn of the century Chicago.

Sisters Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley have a special gift; to see the future of others, especially in the tea leaves, which is what the three have done since the death of both their parents. Daily catering to the curious human clientele in their brick Chicago home-turned-tea room, the only home the triplets had ever known, was the norm. That is, until strange things happen, and a new and true purpose and task is revealed for the sisters, leading them down a path they can't turn back from.

From start to finish, this was a fun, entertaining, cozy mystery. While I rarely gravitate toward this particular genre, this book might have changed my mind. As someone familiar with Chicago, I enjoyed the witchy-fantasy vibes tied into the historical aspects of the White City. It was a fun treat I wasn't expecting and added to my reading experience. I also thought (although the povs did sometimes get jumbled to the point I wasn't quite sure who was talking) that it was nice that we got a pov from each sister sister with unique plotlines. It was a good show in storytelling, especially given the overall plot. While the plot itself was slightly predictable, the message was at the end was still really sweet and endearing. The writing and prose in this debut novel are both stunning and effortlessly readable, something I truly appreciated.

If you're looking for a tea cozy Fall and witchy vibes for your spooky season, I'd recommend adding The Crescent Moon Tearoom to your October TBR.

Don’t miss this charming book!! The story is as enchanting as it is endearing. It is absolutely a delight and evokes the perfect aesthetic to get you ready for all the cozy days of fall and winter yet to come. 4.5 stars
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

⋆⋆½ — honestly, after reading the blurb again, i am definitely not the target audience for this book. so this review means nothing. i don't usually enjoy cozy fantasy, but i requested this anyway because i have loved other nothingburger plotless books in the past (the night circus, emily wilde, the floating hotel). however, neither the characters nor the prose in this was enough to enchant me the way the above novels did, and the worldbuilding was almost nonexistent. but i did like the last six or so chapters, so there's that.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced copy.

I’ve settled into cozier books the last few weeks and this book definitely falls into that category. In The Crescent Moon Tearoom, triplet sisters run a tearoom where they serve up yummy treats and fortunes! The setting is perfection; their house is almost like a fourth sister- atmospheric and enchanted and there was plenty of descriptions that made me want to whip up some yummy treats! ⁣

⁣This book is a well paced, cozy fantasy full of likable characters. It’s a sweet and quirky story about sisters that really made me smile! Four stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣

⁣Thank you to @netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of The Crescent Moon Tearoom. This book publishes on October 1, 2024!

This is a very cozy book about witch triplets who own a teashop.

I sadly dnf’d at 30% because I had a really hard time pushing forward with this slow paced story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria books for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

The Crescent Moon Tea Room was such a warming and magical story. The bond between the sisters ran deeper than just blood and their story unfolded with such mystery behind it. I loved the concept of these three sisters running a cozy shop together while also paving paths of their own. Even though the story was about witches and magic, their underlining urge to follow their dreams but also remain with family is one that everyone can relate to.

This book also had magic and a family curse that kept me engaged and invested in the story. It was a quick and easy read and I would highly recommend it for those looking for a cozy witchy read. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book has all the cozy mystery charm with the added twist of three witch sisters set in old-time Chicago! While it's a solid 3-star read for me, I bumped it up to 4 stars because fans of the cozy mystery genre will likely really enjoy it. Personally, I was hoping for a bit more intrigue, mystery, and magic. The pacing felt a bit slow, and I found myself skimming sections that didn't seem central to the main plot.

That said, the cozy tea room atmosphere is spot on. I loved the scenes with the local ladies coming in to gossip and have their fortunes read, all while indulging in deliciously described treats—oh, and the tea, of course! The house itself is a standout, and honestly, it became my favorite character.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC! All opinions are my own.

This book is a cozy, charming read with a delightful teashop setting and three lovable clairvoyant sisters. The family dynamic is heartwarming, though the plot feels a bit slow at times. Perfect for light, feel-good reading.

Anne, Beatrix and Violet rely on stories told from the leaves at the bottom of their customer's cups in order to cope with their busy teashop, and their lingering sadness from the death of their parents. When the Council of Witches comes to inform them that the city Diviner has lost her powers, the sisters are torn in different directions. Anne's magic begins to outshine that of her sisters, while Beatrix attracts attention to their stories by a publisher and Violet is drawn to the life of a circus performer, they realize that an old family curse threatening to separate them may be coming true. Afraid of what the curse will bring they decided to change their destiny, but they are so focused on saving their sisterhood that they loose sight of their individuality, causing the reader to ask what is the meaning of family and how do you define yourself?

Sivinski writes a sweet, cozy fantasy novel perfect for this time of year! It is a quick and fun read, perfect for any reader who is close to their family, and loves magical realism. The story is easy to fall into and quickly captivating for the reader.

A must read for any one who is looking for a nice cozy fall read!

Such a cute, cozy, witchy book! Perfect for crisp weather reading or even if you’re simply wishing for cooler weather!

"The Crescent Moon Tearoom" by Stacy Sivinski tells the tale of the Quigley sisters and their quest to stay together in their unique home/tearoom while also uncovering their very specific destinies. The author delivers the story like one of the many cups of tea from the tearoom. There’s magic, love, desire, heartbreak, and drops of comfort. It had me feeling nostalgic as I reached for special scents and memories from my childhood. It’s apparent from the beginning that Anne, Beatrix, and Violet are all gifted at their craft, but something is amiss as a possible curse comes to light. Each sister experiences a different journey while trying to weave her true nature with the bond of sisterhood. If you’re looking for a truly cozy book, this one checks all the boxes.

Thank you, NetGalley, Sarah Sivinski, and Atria books for early access to the book in exchange for an honest review. It was such an enjoyable and relaxing read!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

The premise of this debut novel really drew me in and I was excited about where the story would go.

Triplets, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet, own and operate a much loved teashop, where with some help from their magic, they offer the leaf reading services to their clients. It almost seems as if they could continue in this way happy forever. Until one day, the Council of Witches comes to call. The sisters then set forth attempting to complete the tasks given to them by the Council, while also trying to sort out a family curse that has recently been discovered.

The novel focuses on destiny, family, and whether you have the ability to control either.

This novel is definitely cozy and will be great for lovers of the genre. Overall I enjoyed it, however I do wish there had been a little more pop. I absolutely loved that the house itself was such a character!

I think it was more of a 3.5 for me, but I am rating it a 4 knowing that the cozy genre isn’t something I often read.
