I very much enjoyed A Letter to Three Witches though I wished it had been a bit more steeped in the mythology. Still, it was a very breezy read and I'm always an advocate for more paranormal romance. Thanks so much to NetGalley and Kensington for the advanced read in exchange for an honest review!

Bravo for this wonderful book that finally brings light fantasy to women’s audience.
I quite enjoyed following the story of three modern day witches trying to live their lives as normal as possible. Bring in a villain, some romance and clever words (Yes, BrewTube…) and I will look forward for the sequel.

Gwen is a witch who follows all the magical rules until extraordinary events put everything and everyone under a new light.

This a feel good book that makes you wish for more, much more.

This is hilarious, entertaining, quick, fun reading! If you don’t have high expectations and look for something light, easy to read, this is great fit for you!

There are so many plot holes and far fetched conclusions and characters’ ultra exaggerated manners drag them into dangerous situations.

I advise you to read it without thinking any further and criticizing the development, you’d better let yourself flow with the story and try to expect less and focus on the juicy, funny, interesting parts as I like I did.

The story centered on three cousins: Gwen, Milo, Trudy whose family have been banned to practice magic for 150 years for causing the Dust Bowl ( they have one of a kind, mischievous great- great- grandfather)

After each of them received a letter from adopted sister/ cousin Tannith telling them she would move to NYC accompanied by one of them’s partners, the alarm bell started ringing. Could she bewitch one of them’s beau?

And when Trudy’s husband wants divorce, things get out of control, because Trudy disobeys the family ban and she turns her husband into a rabbit.

So you can expect the derailed situations, a little farce comedy, the witches’ attempts to revoke the magic without being noticed by prying eyes of neighbors and police officers.
But as they try harder to fix things, the unexpected elements are thrown into equation and things get more complicated!

I’m giving my solid three stars! It was still fun to read and I didn’t get bored! I didn’t question the progression of the story too much! It was light, quick, interesting and easy alternative for you!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.

A Letter to Three Witches
Elizabeth Bass
Gwen, Milo, Trudy
A zany tale about three witches, Cousins Gwen, Milo and Trudy around Halloween. They each receive a letter from another cousin, Tannith, saying she was moving to New York and intimating she was going to take one of their significant others with her. They’d grown up with Tannith and each is sure she’ll run off with their boyfriend or husband. This throws them all in a tizzy. Then Trudy’s husband tells her he wants a divorce, and in a fit of anger, she turns him into a rabbit. Totally by accident. You see their family of witches has been banned from using magic so she really didn’t think she had any. The rest of the novel involves them trying to undo the hex while keeping it a secret- from nosy neighbors, the police and a persistent graduate assistant. And they go to bizarre lengths to do so.
This is a fun romp of a tale. There is even a sentient black cat involved! I would recommend this book to my patrons and would enjoy adding it to my Halloween readers advisory lists

I wanted this book to be so much better than it was. It was cute and had possibility but felt a little clunky and flat to me. All of the bad things that happened were so extreme and could've been easily fixed if everyone had just communicated properly. None of the relationships felt very healthy, familial and romantic. No one listened to each other. It was a light fluffy read that could've been so much better.

A fun quick read. I appreciate NetGalley and the publisher allowing me early access to this novel. Nice to read a story with Happy Ever Afters.

Gwen and her family of witches have been banned from practicing magic for 150 years after her great-great-grandfather caused the Dust Bowl. But when she and her two closest cousins receive a letter from her adopted sister claiming that she plans to bewitch one of their partners to run away with her, drastic methods must be taken. Can Gwen and her cousins charm their way out of this situation without being caught using magic? And just who is the handsome grad student asking uncomfortable questions of the trio?

This was a quick read revolving around a tight-knit trio of cousins who try to outwit their nemesis, engage in lots of shenanigans, and in the process discover their Happily Ever Afters.
