The Power of Three is a fast-paced YA paranormal mystery, where three brothers have to undo their family curse before it's too late. This book is fun, mysterious, and eerie. The Teller brothers all have different personalities, which add a lot to the book. Harper, their younger sister, is that girl (although she's only 6)! It's a quick read, and I'd definitely recommend if you're into lighter paranormal activity and mystery.
Thank you NetGalley, Black Rose Writing, and Teri Polen for this copy!

3.5 stars. Look at this terrifying cover! This is a fun paranormal YA mystery. There’s a very old family curse that three brothers have to solve before their whole family is wiped out. The small town and new house are just what this family needed, if it weren’t for the ghosts of their ancestors everywhere. And that bitch Cora is a real piece of work. Very entertaining read. Thank you to NetGalley a digital copy

I have to say that I had no idea this was a teens and YA book until quite a few chapters in. It's a genre I'd normally avoid, but this book was such fun to read, I think I've previously done myself a disservice.

The book felt so nostalgic and tapped into my teenage days of reading book after book and escaping into other worlds and enjoyable escapades. It was only a lack of swearing that made me realise it was aimed at younger audiences. The plot, the character build, the textures and details woven into the story were 'full fat', worthy of adult books and completely enjoyable to read.

The Teller family haven't had it easy in life. Three brothers, and younger Sister adding to a hard working family headed up by a loving Mum and Dad. They've had to all muck in to pay the bills, they have debts and they have little beyond the riches of being a tight family. Then, out of the blue they inherit a big house through a distant family link they didn't know about - so they up sticks and head to a new town.

And then the Teller Curse unfolds itself before them and all hell breaks loose. It's haunted house, it's ghosts, it's mystery and problem solving. It's completely absorbing and a truly enjoyable ride. Highly recommended, even when primarily aimed at younger audiences.

Everything has a price. The wonderful good luck the Teller family has when they inherit a house from a relative they knew nothing about comes with a curse that could cost them their lives. Each of the 3 sons experience odd occurrences and as they begin to put things together with some otherworldly help, it gets really interesting. The three brothers were very different, but come together when it comes to their little sister or battling the evil spirit that wants to destroy their family and those close to them. I was really drawn into this story and will look for other work by Teri Polen.

Thank you to the author, Black Rose Writing, and NetGalley for the copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

I spent most of today listening to/reading this book and could not stop! I found it addictive and loved the whole storyline and plot. I love how they all connect with each other and end up finding things they put off in the past. The whole family dynamic was so heartwarming to read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and wanted to thank Teri Polen & NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this as an ARC.
It is safe to say I can't wait to read more books from Teri!
I will put up a review on my YouTube channel which is Life With Holly, as well as on my tiktok, life.with.holly

A new favorite author! This was a nice book and the plot is engaging. Hard to put the book down so I read it in one sitting. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the chance to read this book.

This was not what I was expecting, i was thinking more along the lines of Charmed. I was blown away by the details in this book. Will be buying this book as one to have.

Really enjoyed this book! Love the MC, the teen battling a curse/ghost etc trope, and the atmospheric detailing! Read in one sitting, definitely will be following this author!

I was hooked from the cover and description and so glad I was able to read this. It had that horror element that I was looking for and enjoyed getting to go through the paranormal element that I was looking for. The characters had that element that I was looking for and was glad I was able to read this. It uses the curse element perfectly and was glad everything worked.

Spooky house, ghosts and curse. Sign me up. And Power of Three did not disappoint.
Written from a teen aged boy's POV, Beck, was a new one for me as I tend to read female lead books, but I enjoyed Beck's story telling. Beck, Gib and Lex have very unique characters and voices and each brough something new to the story.
At first was a little concern about a sweet little sister character and worried she would be all cutesy and boring. Wrong. Harper was a fun little filler character who rounded out the story well.
Cora, the evil spirit, was ok. While she was creepy her evilness came more from past deeds and when she was bad she was bad.

The curse and the ghost lore was well written with clear rules you'll be familiar with if you've seen Supernatural - salt!
But it was well fleshed out and made for an interesting story.

My only issue was the timeline. The story jumped from hours to days and this wasn't always clear. It wasn't a major issue, but made it feel a little disjointed at time.

Grab this book for a cozy weekend read. Maybe keep the lights on and some salt close by just in case.
