I started this book with high expectations. I fell in love with the cover and the description made the book sound great to me.
I sadly enough ended being dissapointed.
From the very first chapter I didn't really like the writing style. The story felt a bit all over the place and the ending felt rushed.
We start and meet the "villain" who throughout the book I thought was a character who was hateful and upset for no logical reason. (Spoiler coming up) If you're raised from a very young age by someone that tries their best, despite traumas you might have gone through, and gives you a loving home, would you really hate them that much? (End spoiler) I just thought Tannith's character wasn't great as bad guy.
The three cousins had a fun relationship, I liked that about them. But I missed a je ne sais quoi from each character.
What kept me reading was the fact I wanted to know who of their boyfriends would be the one leaving.
There were some funny parts but I felt it wasn't a book that reached it's full potential nor did the characters.

This was very refreshing and entertaining! The witches aspects added more charm to the story. All those secrets, mystery and humour was very enjoyable.

I didn't think I would enjoy this one as much as I did but it was a pleasant surprise! It was a fast paced,funny,cute,lightheart read that could be read in one sitting if I wasn't such a slow reader. It was one of those rare times where I didn't cringe looking at the love interest (enemies to lovers) although I think that their relationship moved quite fast for my liking. However,I think this book is possible to help you get out of your reading slump so do yourself a favor and get your hands on it!

First off, thank you Netgalley and Kensington Books for this ARC copy for my honest review. This was a charming little read full of fun witchy hijinks!

A Letter to Three Witches begins with just that. Gwen, Milo, and Trudy all receive letters from Gwen's adopted "sister" and fellow cousin Tannith, warning them all that she is leaving town at the end of the week AND has bewitched one of their significant others into coming with her. But how can this be possible? Their family comes from a long line of witches who have been forbidden to use their magic or else suffer tragic consequences.

Things soon begin to unravel for the cousins, and their lives start to get weirder and weirder in the process, and what follows is a hilariously absurd plot that can only make you laugh at the ridiculousness and fun of it all.

If you want a little light hearted escape filled with an adorably witchy family, this book is for you!

Thank you Netgalley and Kensington Books for this ARC copy!

I came in blind, not knowing what I'll be reading. It was confusing at first - is this about Tannith or the Gwen or what? I found it a bit slow. But it eventually picked up and piqued my interest, wanting to know more - who is it gonna be? Who is running away with Tannith? It felt a bit all over the place, and some stuff weren't resolved, or was quickly resolved.

Nevertheless, it was a quick, light and fun read! Very entertaining!

Thank you netgalley and Kensington Books for this arc copy!

A fun and quick read about family, legacy and magic. For Gwen, her life in the town of Zenobia, New York is quiet and comfortable. She runs a business called Abracadabra Odd Job Service, a nod to the fact, that everyone in her family has magical power. The trick? one of her ancestors were responsible for the Dust Bowl in the US and as a punishment, her family is no longer allowed to practice magic. When one of her cousins, sends a rather threatening letter to Gwen and her other two cousins, the family's magical powers unravel and new discoveries come to life.

ARC provided by Netgalley for an honest review.
I'm not too sure of how to critique this book. The first part I found to be utterly boring. Gwen's great-great grandfather a witch/warlock (not sure how they'd describe the term) supposedly started the Dust Bowl back in the day with uncontrollable powers. His family and descendants have been banned from using magic ever since by the witch council. Cut to the present. Gwen and her cousins Milo and Trudy have received letters from their ridiculously vain cousin Tannith who has said at the end of the week that she will be stealing one of the men from one of their lives.
The first half of the book was the three cousins mainly worrying about who's man would be stolen by the vain and witchy Tannith. The last half of the book was a lot more enjoyable and had me interested more in the characters.

I have to be honest, I didn't enjoy this read. This book is all over the place, it's confusing, and not entertaining enough to justify the rambling in it. I would probably advise others to skip it.

I started second guessing myself as soon as I started reading this book and was afraid I had made a mistake. HOWEVER......I'm glad I stuck with it. When you read this, do not have high expectations that it will be the great american novel ...because it won't be. There are plenty of plot holes. BUT...it is indeed a fun, quick read. Don't overthink it as you read and you will totally enjoy this light hearted romantic comedy. Some places made me laugh out loud. After reading some heavy duty novels recently...this was a perfect change. Well done. And thank you to NetGalley for the ARC

A charming breezy story about magic, family, and love. It was fast-paced, easy to follow, and really enjoyable.

2.5 stars - This was a fun, light book. It was largely pretty predictable (so much so that it leaves you wondering how the main characters are so clueless). At the very beginning of the book, which is one of the chapters not the point of view of the main character, I thought I might actually DNF the book (which I NEVER do), luckily it got more readable after that. I thought the premise had a lot of potential, but it ended up a very light, silly book.
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for providing me access to this eARC!

This was a challenging read for me in I felt in the beginning it was a bit sluggish and slow. About halfway through though there is a shift and this quickly picks up into what I would describe as a romcom version of Charmed. Griz’s POV is was super fun for me, and I liked how the characters began to develop. Overall this was a quick fun read and I would recommend it to anyone looking for some lighthearted magic in their lives.

I want to thank NetGalley and Kensington Books for this eARC in change an honest review.

Something wicked this way comes...

...but with the wicked, comes a whole lot of cute.

When readers arrive in the town of Zenobia, we are first introduced to wicked witch Tannith, who has purposely sent her coven of cousins into panic mode. Due to an edict from the dust bowl years, none of them are allowed to practice witchcraft even though they have the gift; a rule Tannith delights in disobeying.

But Gwen and her cousins, Trudy and Milo, are in trouble for other reasons. Mainly, Trudy has - accidentally of course, in a fit of rage - turned her soon-to-be ex-husband into a bunny.

The adventures the cousins have trying to rectify Trudy's situation and to stay one step ahead of Tannith really are delightful and truly funny. There are witty plays on words, there's fun dialogue, there's likable characters to meet along the way. I could definitely see influences from Sabrina the Teenage Witch - the old, campy, lighthearted version.

The very end is a bit of a sticking point; it felt rushed and some of the relationships wrapped up a little too neatly. But it did leave room for another book in the series; if that's the case, this reader will be visiting Zenobia again.

Thank you Netgalley for the preview!

Rating: 4/5
 
I was given eARC for my honest opinion.
 
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.
 
This book took me by surprise, if you love the TV show Charmed, I think it might be your ally.
After I got into the first few chapters I was wondering, what I did get myself into, it was slow to the start, seemed a bit boring and lacked overall magic. However, I am so happy that I kept with it cause wow this book took off. It really is a fun, romcom with witches who have no clue what they’re doing and just trying to put everything back together. I really did enjoy the POV of Griz, I just thought that was hilarious and just darn right cute, I did like how Gwen’s development in the book, I do wish that it wasn’t all just at the ending for me.
Overall, this is a fun, quick, romcom with great humor. Release date for the book is 1.24.22

The vibes in A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass were spooky; I got super Hocus Pocus vibes. I love witch novels, and this was one of the better ones I have read -- A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass is a quick, comical, and light-hearted read. I thought it was a great fast read.

Who can resist a book with a Witch's Coven called the Cupcake Coven?
Milo, Gwen, and Trudy are cousins who are banned from using magic, due to an ancestor's disastrous accident. The coven receives notice from another cousin, Tannish, saying she is leaving and taking a loved one with her. Accidedental spells in their baked goods, great dialogue and a fun plot made this book a great summer day read.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with this book in exchange for an unpaid, honest review.

This was such a fun and quick read! I have been reading some pretty intense books lately, and this light and quirky book was just what I needed.

The story is centered around three cousins of the Cupcake Coven: Milo, Gwen, and Trudy. Their family has been banned from using witchcraft for generations because of a magic mishap caused by their great-great grandfather. After each of the cousins receive a letter from their bully of a cousin Tannith, the Cupcake Coven begins experiencing one magical mishap after another.

I’m giving this book three stars because although the plot was a bit weak at times, I still had a good time reading it. The characters were silly and likeable, and who doesn’t like a bit of witchcraft and romance?

A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass is a magical, entertaining and sweet story with a unique plotline and quirky chaotic characters.

Set in the sleepy college town of Zenobia, New York, it centers around Gwen and her cousins Trudy and Milo, who belong to a family of witches banned from practicing witchcraft. Because of a catastrophic event caused by their great-great-grandfather a century ago.

But, when the cousins receive a troubling letter from Gwen's adopted sister Tannith, informing them that she will run away with one of their partners at the end of the week─ Gwen, Trudy, and Milo find themselves entangling in the world of spells, potions, and mysteries.

Things get wilder when Trudy accidentally started to enchant her cupcakes, creating havoc among her customers.

This was a very witchy read! I really enjoyed the seamless writing and the fast-paced narration from changing perspective between Gwen and Griz, the cat. The storyline is enthralling- the author blended comedy, romance, mystery, magic, and witches together and created situations where clueless witches accidentally transform humans and bewitch people with cupcakes.

This book was a quick, funny, and light-hearted read. I loved the chapters told from the cat's pov─it was cute and hilarious. The book has some witty and delightful characters; the cousin's trio was my favourite.

However, I did not get the romance part─it was odd and not very convincing. Also, I think it was a bit rushed near the ending, I am still unclear about certain characters and what happened with them.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book. If you are looking for a quick and fun read, I would recommend it.

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Books for this ARC.
