Shelley's Review
I really enjoyed this very smooth, easy to read story. Great characters, primary and secondary. I loved Tamsin and her snarkiness and easily related to her on many levels. I thought her relationship with Gabriel, considering their closeness as children (a bond that never really ever fades, if you're lucky enough to have such a friendship), to flow naturally, as in they were able to "pick up where they left off" and remain "thick as thieves" and then some. It's easy to believe they are destined to be together. I look forward to seeing how their relationship progresses.
Tamsin's family is at once aggravating and entertaining. Her Grandmother and great aunt often stealing the scene.
Our villain is somewhat mysterious and intriguing and in the beginning, well perhaps he still is, charming and charismatic. We shall see.
I have high hopes for Always a Witch and can't wait to get my hands on it.
Overall, this a clean, fun, fairly fast-paced read that quickly shows you the good and bad that comes with being in a magickal family.
