The Crescent Moon Tearoom
ByPublisher Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
An “impossibly endearing” (Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author) debut novel about three clairvoyant sisters who face an unexpected twist of Fate at the bottom of their own delicate porcelain cups.
Ever since the untimely death of their parents, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley have made a business of threading together the stories that rest in the swirls of ginger, cloves, and cardamon that lie at the bottom of their customers’ cups. Their days at the teashop are filled with talk of butterflies and good fortune intertwined with the sound of cinnamon shortbread being snapped by laced fingers.
That is, until the Council of Witches comes calling with news that the city Diviner has lost her powers, and the sisters suddenly find themselves being pulled in different directions. As Anne’s magic begins to develop beyond that of her sisters’, Beatrix’s writing attracts the attention of a publisher, and Violet is enchanted by the song of the circus—and perhaps a mischievous trapeze artist threatening to sweep her off her feet—it seems a family curse that threatens to separate the sisters is taking effect.
With dwindling time to rewrite their future and help three other witches challenge their own destinies, the Quigleys set out to bargain with Fate. But in focusing so closely on saving each other, will they lose sight of themselves?

“This book was so cute and cozy! I really enjoyed reading it, and it gave me that sweet, soft sisterhood vibe I was hoping for. This is the perfect story to cuddle up with on a chilly fall or winter evening, wrapped in a soft blanket with a cup of tea in hand. It gave me the warm fuzzies. 🫖”

“i think this book honestly was good, i was just not all that into it. it felt very slow at first and by the time it sped up i just wasn’t very interested. i think i may have enjoyed it more if i had read it earlier on in the fall when i was feeling the fall vibes. definitely a cute and cozy read tho!”

“This was a cute read, but I wasn't extremely captivated by the plot lines. I liked the characters overall, but they seemed to be petty with each other. I am glad I read it and would read the next one eventually!”
