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?

"**Review: The Crescent Moon Tea Room** <br/>**Rating: 4 Stars**<br/> <br/>Thank you to NetGalley, Atria Books, and Stacy Sivinski for an ARC of this book.<br/><br/>I absolutely loved the sister themes in this story. As someone with two sisters (not twins, but still deeply connected), the bond and love between the characters felt so relatable and touching. It was a beautiful reminder of the strength and connection between siblings. <br/><br/>This book is a perfect read as we head into fall, with its super cozy vibes—definitely one to curl up with on a cool evening. However, I did struggle a bit to pick this one up. While the story and characters were both well-done, for some reason, it felt like it was missing that "something" to fully suck me in. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I didn’t feel that irresistible pull to dive back in between reading sessions. <br/><br/>Overall, though, it’s a warm, enjoyable read that’s especially great for fans of family dynamics and seasonal charm. <br/>"
