Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough

4.0

I've seen this book around a lot, but I've never really looked at it. When I finally did pick it up, I really did enjoy it. Witch stories always have compelled me. This one was a fun and cute adventure.

Tamsin Greene was a relatable character. I could feel how out of place she felt, being the only one in her family who isn't Talented (powers). Trying to live up to her sister, she goes on a quest that causes more trouble than good. I didn't exactly agree with all her decisions, but I could see why she made them. I wasn't a fan of Tamsin's sister, Rowena. For whatever reason she rubbed me the wrong way. On the other hand, Gabrielle was swoon-worthy and sweet.

One a Witch was a real adventure. It was fun and a fast read. At some points it was predictable, but it had a few surprises, too.

Once a Witch was a sweet surprise. It has action, adventure, mystery, romance, good characters, and magic. A super-cute story, and I can't wait for the sequel.
