Once a Witch

by Carolyn Maccullough

Tamsin Greene comes from a long line of witches, and she was supposed to be one of the most Talented among them. But Tamsin's magic never showed up. Now seventeen, Tamsin attends boarding school in Manhattan, far from her family. But when a handsome young professor mistakes her for her very Talented sister, Tamsin agrees to find a lost family heirloom for him. The search--and the stranger--will prove to be more sinister than they first appeared, ultimately sending Tamsin on a treasure hunt through time that will unlock the secret of her true identity, unearth the sins of her family, and unleash a power so vengeful that it could destroy them all. This is a spellbinding display of storytelling that will exhilarate, enthrall, and thoroughly enchant.

Reviews

[Artemis]

Not as bad as I thought it would be.

[tweetybugshouse]

This is a great story about witches and their talents, i like that story moves along at fast pace and is intriguing enough to keep you wanting to read. I like that thought it may have been a bit predictable i really did enjoy it and will most certainly read the next book.

[MurderByDeath]

Fast fun read. The plot felt like it should be more complicated, but the author managed to tie up most of the loose ends by the end of the story, while still leaving it wide open for a follow up book. I liked almost all the characters and the setting was very vivid. Overall, it was a fun read and I'll gladly read another if another follows.

[Eve1972]

This was a quick, but very good read! I am a sucker for a good witch story and this didn't disappoint. My only complaint is that the book was to short and left a lot of loose ends, but I assume there will be a sequel, maybe a series(?) coming out in the future.
