When Rosamunde turned thirteen, she had to pass a test from the Faerie Court in order to gain the powers of a witch. But her simple test just got turned on its head when a mysterious old woman appeared and offered her a choice. Rosa can accept the old woman’s offer of forbidden power—or face deadly monsters. A human girl could never deal with magical dangers on her own, but getting help from anyone else is strictly against the rules of the test. Will Rosa risk her life to gain the magic she’s always wanted?
This short story is a prequel to Small Town Witch, book 1 of the Fae of Calaveras trilogy, and can be enjoyed at any point in the series.
Witch Test (Fae of Calaveras, #0.5) Reviews
-
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. -
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!
-
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.
-
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 review was written for LibraryThing Members Giveaways.
A little insight into the trials that Rosa experiences. This short story exhibits Rosa's integrity and her desire to pass the test so she can begin training as a witch. -
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.
