Review of "Once a Witch (Witch #1)" by Carolyn MacCullough
This reader's personal opinion, ©2013, all rights reserved.*
A start to the series with a likable heroine. Not sure what else to say as not sure this first book an indication of where rest of series is heading as left a ton of unanswered questions and possible directions. I liked the writing style. Heroine seems New Adult age but book/series not really striking me as in that genre.
My reading progress updates from goodreads:
| 04/22 | "Just downloaded off library ebook waiting list. Could be good (friends have liked); could be too much in the mystery or YA genres for my tastes." | |||
| 05/05 | 5.0% | "Way behind on reading. Lots wanting to read; this wins by being a library book needing to go back but so far so good. A mysterious stranger just showed up in bookshop the so-far likable main character works in." | ||
| 05/05 | 37.0% | "Still good but dipping a bit more into YA territory with some angst so will see..." | ||
| 05/05 | 27.0% | "Oops...calculated percent progress wrong last time (reading in overdrive app)" | ||
| 05/05 | 54.0% | "Moving along nicely now. False alarm on the angst comment." | ||

Ratings scale used in absence of a booklikes suggested rating scale:
★★★★★ = All Time Favorite
★★★★½ = Extraordinary Book. Really Loved It.
★★★★☆ = Loved It.
★★★½☆ = Really Liked.
★★★☆☆ = Liked.
★★½☆☆ = Liked parts; parts only okay. Would read more by author.
★★☆☆☆ = Meh. Okay.
★½☆☆☆ = Disliked but kept me reading in hopes would get better.
★☆☆☆☆ = Loathed It. Possibly DNF and a torturous read.
½☆☆☆☆ = So vile was a DNF or should have been. An "uploaded" word spew or collection that should not be dignified by calling itself a "published book." Author should take remedial classes for language written in until basic concepts like using sentences sink in. Is author even old enough to sign a publishing contract or do they need a legal guardian to sign for them? Cannot imagine anyone liking.
