Synopsis: The adventures of Tam and Gabriel continue
with more time travel, Talents, spy work, and of course, the evil Knights.
Since the gripping conclusion of Once A Witch,
Tamsin Greene has been haunted by her grandmother's prophecy that she will soon
be forced to make a crucial decision—one so terrible that it could harm her
family forever. When she discovers that her enemy, Alistair Knight, went back
in time to Victorian-era New York in order to destroy her family, Tamsin is
forced to follow him into the past. Stranded all alone in the nineteenth
century, Tamsin soon finds herself disguised as a lady's maid in the terrifying
mansion of the evil Knight family, avoiding the watchful eye of the vicious
matron, La Spider, and fending off the advances of Liam Knight. As time runs
out, both families square off in a thrilling display of magic. And to her
horror, Tamsin finally understands the nature of her fateful choice.
I love it and this book appealed to
me more than the first instalment does. And I can say that this book is way
better and more exciting to read due its unexpected twist and turns than the
first book. It’s a page turner and its 288 pages are still not enough for me
and I’m still aiming for more.
I feel so agitated at times to know
more about the next scenes to come and it made me so excited to keep on turning
on the pages. It’s hard to guess at times what could happen furthermore and sometimes
it leaves me into an intersection of questions of where could the story take
me. And I also love the time travelling part, especially when Tamsin travelled back
in the Victorian era. It compromises trilling, suspense and action scenes that
also piqued my attention.
Tamsin had been a lovable character
in the first book, but in this instalment
I got to know her more and see that she’d come to be matured enough to realize
the answers to all the questions that have been bugging her. I’ve been able to
dig more to know the side of the antagonists and I’m happy to finally be
enlighten how crook they are.
I truly enjoyed reading this book
and I hope there could be more to the series because I really am in love with
the series.
