The Witching Moon Manor is the second cozy fantasy in the Spellbound Sisters by Stacy Sivinski. Released 7th Oct 2025 by Simon & Schuster on their Atria imprint, it's 336 pages and available in hardcover, paperback, audio, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout.
This is a low-stress cozy romantasy with a trio of magical sisters (triplets) who run a popular tea shop. The setting, a house in an alternate magical Chicago, is *literally* a character, full of opinions (it redecorates itself regularly) and rearranges its features to suit its own whims.
Lots of tea-leaf reading, romance, gossip, and some adventure as the sisters try to figure out what paths to follow in their own lives. The pacing is... whimsical... and exceptionally meandering. There's no violence and the language is squeaky clean. It's written in a nostalgic style which recalls the early 20th century, and some of the dialogue reflects this (undoubtedly intentional on the author's part).
Three and a half stars. Definitely one for the fans of cozy fantasy. It would make a good buddy read.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
