REVIEW: #60 Once a Witch

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

Review:

Truth be told, it took me over a month to read this (rather short) novel. But — why exactly? I have no clue. While it certainly wasn’t terrible (or even bad – nor boring). .I just neglected to grow the “oomph!” while reading it. Maybe it was my busy state of mind , with too many things to do and think about?

Once a Witch was interesting, though – truly.  I think it’ll be a novel that many young adults and adults-alike will enjoy reading.  Of course anything with magic is typically a sure win! While it’s not on my pile of favorite reads — simply because it didn’t make me want to keep reading above all else, it certainly was a book I did want to finish.

If you enjoy movies that include magic (a little bit of romance) then I recommend Once a Witch.
