Once A Witch-Carolyn MacCullough

Once a Witch is an amazing fantasy novel full of magical Talents and wonderful characters. Tamsin Greene is a seventeen-year-old girl from New York and from a family of witches. She different from them, though. She's Talentless. She doesn't have any abilities, or so she thinks. I won't spoil what that ability is. It was fun figuring it out on my own and finding out I was close to being right. Tamsin's friend Agatha goes to boarding school with her, and Tamsin's sister, Rowena, is engaged to another witch named James. Tamsin doesn't like her sister. Rowena has the ability to persuade people, which is an important fact in the book. During the first chapter, Tamsin is working at her grandmother's book store, which is where she meet Alistair Callum, a professor of art history at NYU. He asks her to find a clock, supposedly a family heirloom that was lost long ago. He think that Tamsin is Rowena and can find it for him, but Tamsin gets Gabriel's help. Gabriel, the love interest, can find anything and can travel through time to find objects. They find the clock in the late 1800's. The clock is Domani. It's where the power of the Knight's witches is stored. It's always kept in a time-piece. The Keeper protects it. Alistair is not who he seems, but I don't want to spoil anything else. I'll just leave you with the information I've already typed. Just know that it's a good book, slightly different from most with-themed books. If you're a fantasy person, give it a chance. You'll love it and will be dying for more!
