I’ve had this one stuffed in the back of my shelves for ages. I bought it when Walden books (a Borders subsidiary still existed) that should show you how long it was. But I never read it. Don’t know why. Just one of those perpetual backlist books. But when I decided to participate in Blogger Bl...
This was quite a surprise, truly. In some ways it reminded me of the Witching Savannah books, The Line - J.D. Horn, but I liked the MC more here and the mythology around the family. The Good: Tamsin- she's a great main character, not perfect, but not too stupid to live either. Girl on Girl Friend...
A quick read, which in the end turned out to be nothing like what I had expected from the first few chapters. I liked it well enough and was interested in seeing it to its completion, but despite the cliffhanger'ish epilogue I feel no real compulsion to read the sequel. I wavered a long time between...
When I read the blurb for this book, I thought I'd be in for a story about a young woman discovering she isn't as powerless as she originally thought. Nothing new, but when done well there's nothing wrong with that kind of story. But this story does go wrong by being all set up and no execution. Thi...
This book really surprised me. I checked out the ebook, based on the fact that it happened to be available. I started reading it while waiting in the car, by virtue of it being on my phone.

But by the age of 8 when her power failed to show up Tamsin starts to feel like an outcast and a failure. Tamsin goes to boarding school in the ci...
Once a Witch wasn't groundbreaking or original material if you've read any fantasy novels at all but it was diverting enough.If you've grown up in the shadow of a bossy, perfect older sister then you'll appreciate how this novel captured that feeling of inadequacy perfectly. Not as well as Margaret ...
Tamsin Greene comes from a family of witches who all possess a special Talent. All except her. When she was born, her powerful grandmother prophesized that she was be the one of the most powerful witches her family had ever seen and they had high expectation.
