Always a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough
5.0
Always a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough is the sequel to Once a Witch. The series stars Tasmin a girl who has always felt like an outsider in her family. In the first book Tasmin discovered her unusual talent and traveled through time to save her family. In this book Tasmin must travel back in time to save her family from the evil Alistar. She works as a maid for a family that uses evil means to enhance their magic.
It has been almost two years since the original book came out so I was worried that the sequel would not be at the same level as the original. I was pleasantly surprised. The story was very entertaining and I enjoyed both the time travel aspect and the magic. The characters were well developed and I really cared about what would happen to Tasmin. I finished the book quickly and found myself thinking about what would happen next when I wasn't reading.
Appropriateness: There is no adult content in this book. There is a bit of romance as the main character has a boyfriend but it is not the focus of the book. The main character is in her late teens and she's working as a ladies maid for most of the book. I would recommend this book to teens 12 and up with it being interesting and mature enough for the older end of the YA audience.
