That’s it 
Here is my Friday Firsts: Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough (ISBN: 978-0-547-22399-5) 292 pages.
I was born on the night of Samhain, when the barrier between the worlds is whisper thin and when magic, old magic, sings its heady and sweet song to anyone who cares to hear it.
I thought the first sentence was nicely written and pulled me in enough to continue reading. It was nice to be able to read about a different paranormal character besides vampires and werewolves!
Synopsis: (Taken from Amazon.com)
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.
