Today I am reviewing "The Witching Moon Manor” the 2nd instalment in The Crescent Moon Tearoom series by Stacy Sivinski set in Chicago.
The magical Quigley sisters return to bargain with fate once more in this follow-up to the “charming, uplifting, and utterly enchanting” (Lana Harper, New York Times bestselling author) national bestseller The Crescent Moon Tearoom.
The Crescent Moon is thriving after a much-needed expansion, with the ladies who step through its doors continuing to seek comfort in the glimpses of their futures found in the swirls at the bottom of their teacups. Anne is leading the city’s witches as Chicago’s Diviner, Beatrix is swept away on a book tour across the country, and Violet has found her place with her feet swinging through the air above the circus crowds. That is, until the Quigley sisters find themselves stumbling on their chosen paths, and they are drawn back home in search of refuge in each other’s company.
As Anne struggles to balance her growing responsibilities, Beatrix fears she has lost her gift for storytelling, and Violet is shaken after an accident at the circus, the future the sisters had drawn for themselves feels murkier than ever. And, when the threads of fate begin to unravel, Anne must lean on her sisters and team up with a mysterious—and oddly infuriating—necromancer to save the city from an uncertain destiny and help old friends find a happy end.
With all three Quigleys back in the warm comfort of the Crescent Moon, they set out to bargain with Fate once more. But will the sisters find the courage to embrace who they have become while returning to what they left behind, or will the future unfold in a way that even a Quigley couldn’t have predicted?
I was captivated from the first page of this novel, and it did not disappoint. The story is rich with magic, emotion, and high-stakes challenges that kept me on the edge of my seat.
The sisters' journey is particularly compelling, as they confront their pasts and forge new paths. The addition of the infuriatingly charming necromancer adds a delightful layer of complexity to the story.
This book is a five-star tale that explores themes of destiny, self-discovery, and the power of sisterhood. I highly recommend it to fans of fantasy and adventure. The author's writing is engaging, and the characters are well-developed and relatable.
If you're looking for a story that will transport you to a world of magic and wonder, look no further. This novel is a must-read for anyone who loves fantasy, adventure, and strong female characters.
I highly recommend this charming novel and look forward to the next instalment.
