Up until chapter 13, I thought I would be giving my LibraryThing Early Reviewers win, Once We Were Witches by Laura Daleo, four stars. After all, it was good enough that I read more at a time than I should have until my eyestrain got so bad that I was forced to read only a page or two at a time, up to ten a day. Chapters 13 and 14 left me incensed.

Raven Sagestone is adopted. Her adoptive parents have not tried to hide that from her. ( )

Synopsis: Who am I? Who are my real parents? Why can't I use my powers? These are all questions that plague Raven Sagestone and that lead her on a quest for their answers. On her journey she meets vampires, witches, a demon, and entities who can help her find the answers she seeks - if she can stay alive.

Review: Well fine...I enjoyed this book so much that I'm going to have to read the three books that came before. The storyline is interesting, but I wanted a more in-depth examination of the characters and the settings. I'm hoping that there will be a future book that brings all of the characters together and ties their storylines together. ( )
