Once a Witch Carolyn MacCullough Books

I just devoured this novel from the first page, which is set in a bookstore by the way (what's not to love?). The Talents are similar to some other stories I have read, most recently those in the Alcatraz Smedry series by Brandon Sanderson, although he did something quite different with them. It reminded me too, for reasons I cannot divulge, of Shanna Swendson's Enchanted, Inc. books, which are also completely fabulous. The writing is good, the characters are interesting and the plot draws you in and keeps you there.

Tamsin was easy to relate to from the get-go. Most everyone has felt like an outsider at some point or had sibling issues (although not me, as I'm an only child) or wished desperately for some special talent. She has a bit of an edge to her, which I appreciate for the most part. She sneaks out to bars to drink beer and watch bands with her roommate Agatha. She's sarcastic with her family. In addition, she adapts well to all crisis situations, trying desperately to make things work out; even though she doesn't always succeed, it's awesome that she tries, rather than sitting idly by waiting for a savior.

My one big complaint about Tamsin is the scene where she smokes a cigarette in her room. Blah blah rebellion blah blah badass. I really hate smoking, because, well, it's awful. However, what really bugs me about this scene is that it has so little bearing on the rest of the book. It seems so out of place. Tamsin never smokes again, nor does anyone else mention her doing so. I can't help wondering if she was a smoker originally and most of it got edited out. Either way, it struck me as clunky and gross.

Gabriel was totally awesome. His talent (finding things) rocks. I seriously want one of him for my own, so he can keep me from having to turn my house upside down trying to locate my missing remote. (This happened this evening and the remote was, of course, in the first place I looked. Why I didn't see it, I don't know, but that's always how it goes.

Once a Witch was such a fun read and I am eagerly anticipating starting the sequel. If you're looking for an awesome summer read, definitely pick this up!

Once a Witch Carolyn MacCullough Books Reviews

Tamsin was supposed to be the most powerful witch in her family, according to her grandmother's prophecy, but her magical Talents never appeared. She spent her life feeling like an outcast in her family because they could all do great things with their magic and had their own special Talents, but she didn't.

A mysterious man comes to the bookstore, mistaking her for her Talented sister, and ask her to locate a missing item. He claims that this missing item is a precious family heirloom but little does she know, it is so much more. This request sends Tamsin on a mission to prove herself that will forever change her life. She learns things about herself and her family that were meant to stay secret.

Anything that has to do with witches, I'm in. I love reading about them and have been fascinated with witches for as long as I can remember. So when a book like this comes along I have to get my hands on it.

Tamsin is enjoyable because she's smart and not afraid to do what she wants or thinks is best. She's rebellious and has a "perfect" older sister. She's the black sheep of the family so you just want to root for her. You get to see the mystery unravel and the secrets be revealed right along with her so it keeps you reading. This one did not disappoint. I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.
According to the Brilliance Audio website, "Hannah Friedman has appeared in over 100 regional and Off-Broadway productions. Her voice has appeared as a featured narrator on BBC Radio programs, in spots on Air America, Sirius Radio, and Current TV, and in exhibitions at Euro Disney, the Science Museum of Tokyo, the Liberty Science Museum, the Boston Science Museum, and the Eureka! Children's Museum. Hannah has appeared in international commercials for Coca-Cola and L'Oreal, as well as in live pieces on CNN International, UK Living, The Big Breakfast, and The Kelly Show. She has recorded commercial work for HCI Books, Nickelodeon, Eagle Records, and Disney."

Friedman performs Carolyn MacCullough's Once a Witch and its follow-up book Always a Witch nicely. The well written stories are performed with good quality ranges for the female characters and an adequate range for the male characters. The performance of Once a Witch is 8 1/2 hours long, Always a Witch is 7 1/2 hours. Both will entertain anyone that was a fan of Harry Potter, A Wrinkle in Time, or perhaps the Eragon series. While this series is not as complex as those, it is an enjoyable, engaging story. I do recommend reading or listening to both books.
