Always a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough

4.0

I started this series with Once a Witch, and rather enjoyed it. It wasn't your run-of-the-mill witch story and I liked that. Tamsin is the sole Talent-less witch in her family, and it kind of grates on her.

Well, it would, wouldn't it?

I rather relate, being the least talented of my piano-genius sisters.

Anyway, Tamsin finds out later that she is NOT Talent-less, but is quite powerful. It leads to adventures, saving the day, and discovering true love.

Woo!

Then we come to Always a Witch. The title makes a huge amount of sense now that I've finished. I'm not going to give away the ending, have no fear. It's a great ending though, just you wait.

Tamsin faces choices this time that will alter her life forever. She discovers who she really is, instead of who she thought she was. Her choices could change the course of history and the future, which is pretty daunting when you think about it.

I like that we get to see her growth through the two books. I really came to like her as a character. She's strong, and yet vulnerable at the same time.

The plot is great, carrying on where we left off the first time. It flows nicely and has lots of nice twists to keep one entertained.

All in all, a great read. Really enjoyed it, and readers of YA Paranormal will like it too.

It gets a 'drool worthy' rating from me.
