I enjoyed Rosa's introduction to Dandelion and her race against the Unseelie. The one thing that would have made the story better is to have described the Fae Court's tests in more detail.

A teenage girl recounts how she faced a test from the Fae to receive her witch-powers.
Maybe a bit sparse in it's descriptions, or maybe it's just aimed at a younger reading level than caught my attention. I would have liked to have understood what all these different kinds of fae meant to the story world and why she had to be tested by them. It's a coherent tale, don't get me wrong, I'm just not sure it's my cup of tea. ...more

Compelling journey (literally) to becoming a witch at the tender age of 13! Young Rosa is offered a choice to cheat the witch test...but at what cost? A vivid read with great descriptions. Just long enough to tempt you to read the series!
Short story but worth the read. Rosa and Heather are in her bedroom, and she is telling Heather the story of "The Three Tests" that she had to pass. If she passed all three then she could take an oath and a Fae would grant her power.

A fun short story about how Rosa got her witchy powers – and the fae she met on that journey. An interesting taste of the series.
To become a witch, Rosa must climb a hill - but there is more than just a walk needed.
A nice short story about a young girl seeking her witch powers.
Quick read to let you know a little about rosa and her witch test for the seelie court.
Witch Test is a cute quirky short story. It was fun to see what Rosa had to do to pass the fae's test. I really liked that Dandelion was incorporated into this tale because it just reinforces his importance in Rosa's life. This was a sweet short story, and gives extra background on Rosa.

Witch Test is the prequel to the first novel in the Fae of Calaveras County trilogy and it tells the story of Rosa’s quest to become worthy of becoming a witch. Animals and other beings are met, tests are posed and a Fae male becomes Rosa’s sponsor as she becomes witch-worthy. Rosa is 13 in this story.
This was a quick read about the main character in the story Witch Hunt. Rosa had to ace a test before getting her powers as a witch from the Fae. This story goes into detail about it and how she makes it. Really well written and allows you to understand this character much better!

This very short and fast read is an introduction to the series, and an introduction to Rosa.
It is written as secrets being shared between two young girls.
I did enjoy it, but I felt there could have been more detail.
It was enough that I will check out Kristen Walker's other writing. ...more
