Sweep, Volume 2, By Cate Tiernan

Volume 2 covers books 4-6

Dark Magick

This is a very confusing time for Morgan Rowlands. Everything is happening so fast lately. She found out she was adopted, a blood witch, her birth parents were murdered, she found her soul mate Cal, and she lost her best friend Bree. What more could happen? Oh yeah, at the end of the last novel Cal's half brother, Hunter, revealed he is a Seeker with the International Council of Witches sent to investigate Cal and his mother Seline for practicing dark magick. Cal and Hunter have a battle that ended with Cal being kicked off a cliff and disappearing making Morgan agonize over his death.

When Morgan finds out that Hunter is still alive strange things start to happen. She begins to question everything. Her strange attraction to Hunter, her relationship with Cal, her broken friendship with Bree. She's even drawn to the dark side of magick which scares her. Things come to a head at the end and Morgan faces the biggest betrayal of her life when someone locks her up and sets the place on fire. Will she be able to escape the same fate as her birth parents? Read on and find out or stop here to avoid a spoiler.

Awakening

Morgan is crushed and her heart is broken. How can she possibly go on. Cal tried to kill her! Her Soul mate, her muirn beatha dan. She starts to study with Hunter to develop her abilities for her own protection. Someone is using dark magick and Hunter suspects Morgans friend David Redstone, owner of Practical Magick. Morgan does everything she can to prove David is innocent. Hunter and Morgan get close as they try to find the source of the dark magic.

Spellbound

The coven of Cirrus (Formally led by Cal) and the coven of Kithic (Led by Sky, the one developed after Bree left Cirrus) join together to form one coven. Morgan and Bree begin to repair their friendship. Morgan starts to realize her developing feelings for Hunter. Cal tries to convince Morgan he still loves her. Mary K., Morgans sister gets kidnapped by Seline. Someone dies at the end. But who? Dum, dee, dum, dum. You will be dieing yourself when you find out! Happy reading!

These three books were amazing. I loved the plot twists and tension. Unbelievable! I love it when a story takes me by surprise. :)

Sweep, Volume 1, By Cate Tiernan

Three books in one. This one is a re-release combining the first three novels in one volume. This series is about discovering Wicca and Magick with a little mystery and love mixed in. Plenty of betrayal, spells, circles, rituals, jealousy, mystery and suspense. The first book starts out a little slow but it builds nicely. By the end of the first book I was hooked.

Book of Shadows

There is a new kid in town and he is smokin hot. His name is Cal and he is Wiccan and practices magick. No one is immune to Cal's charms including Morgan Rowlands. But before she can make it known that she has a thing for him her best friend, Bree, stakes her claim on him. Oh well she resigns to let Bree have him since she always gets what she wants anyway. Cal invites Morgan, Bree and some others to do a circle for Samhain. That's where Morgan discovers she has a special talent for magick and a Coven forms.

The Coven

So now that Morgan knows she's really a blood witch descended from one of the original clans, she confronts her family. They must be blood witches too, but they deny all of it. That's when she discovers she was adopted. Morgan and Cal's relationship starts to develop putting a rift between her and Bree. Bree even claimed to have slept with Cal. Morgan just thinks she's jealous because Bree didn't get Cal. Cal chose Morgan after all. Bree sets of with another clan member to form their own coven. While at Cal's house Morgan stumbles upon a secret door that leads to a library. There she discovers a secret kept hidden from her. Her mothers book of shadows.

Blood Witch

Morgan is coming into some pretty powerful powers. She scrys with fire and has a vision of her birth mother pointing under a house. The one her mother and father lived in before they were killed. She finds out they were murdered. Burned to death in a barn that was locked from the outside. She finds the house and under it a box with her mothers magickal tools. Now she has her mothers book of shadows and her mothers tools making her a very powerful blood witch. Cal and his mother seem overly interested in getting their hand on her mothers tools and Morgan begins to question her relationship with Cal. Cal's half brother, Hunter, is a Seeker for the International Council of Witches assigned to investigate Seline, Cal's mother, and Cal for using Black Magic. Hunter attacks Cal causing someone to fall off a cliff.
