*Review to come. these are simply errant thoughts that need be organized.
I've seen so many people,write about Paganism, and try and write it the Olde way, or the new and call it Wicca - neither is right nor wrong. This collection is beautifully written, and mixes the old with the new. It touches on a way of life older than Wicca itself (What is it labeled, 1954?) True practitioners will tell you, (and those who believe in the premise of what Wicca is) is that it is the Olde Religion. The old way...more

Great ending to a wonderful series. I have to admit I didn't know how I would feel when I found out about the ferry incident and all the sadness that followed, but the ending warmed my heart enough that I didn't walk away dissapointed. Although, I'm still not happy that Cate did what she did to Morgan and Hunter. I liked to see Morgan all grown up with a daughter of her own. It was all blanketed with real, raw sadness though. Overall, this was a great series filled with many lessons about family...more
I loved this series when I first got into it. I loved Morgan- her struggles were engaging, her joy in her newfound powers and in the study of the Craft was relatable, and I really cared about what happened to her and her circle.
Now, in volume 5, I couldn't care less.
I think my biggest problem with this series has been that Morgan is just too powerful. It's like reading about Jesus Christ Superwitch. And, despite how incredibly powerful she is, she never loses. She went from being an engaging cha...more

In Reckoning we get to meet Alisa's mothers family and find out more about the powers she had and why she bound herself like she did. Alisa runs away from home to surprise her Uncle she has never met.She also meets her grandmother who is not very welcoming or warm towards her. During her stay she discover things about herself and her family that makes sense to her and also helps determine the ghost that haunts her grandmothers home. She falls in love with her cousins boyfriend and he develops fe...more
I have to say that the end of this sereis for me is a bit sad. I have grown to love Morgan and envy her strength and power. As for this volume, One of the books I could have done with out, the story of Alisa. However it, like the others, is well written and it's a nice story. I guess I have to say that sometimes it's nice to her more about some lesser charachters in your favorite books. When I started the last book, Night's Child, I was absolutly mad. I couldn't believe how it started and I almo...more
I wanted to wait until the end of this series to comment on it. First off, I picked up the book from my younger sister- out of boredom and once I finished I just had to see what was going to happen. I thought the story line was pretty good and kept me interested. And I like how in the fourth and fifth book are told from different peoples perspectives rather than just Morgan (the main character) the entire time. I dont want to give away what happens in the books (I hate when reviews give away too...more
Good series. The last book was a bit weird because it jumped so far into the future, but all in all it was good. While the author did a great job of giving closure with Morgan and her group of people, I wish there had been more closure for Alisa and the ones she encountered. It kind of felt like there should have been more happening with her, whether in a spin off or at least to finish up some of the unfinished business.
I loved every book in this series except for that last story. I was so mad at everything that was happening! Not to mention, Morgan didn't even seem to be in her daughter's life much. No wonder she was so clueless.. Ugh, I couldn't believe Cate did that to us with the time! I thought I was never going to get to the better parts. I don't know, maybe it was just a last bang in the series and that was all she was trying to accomplish. Overall, I really do love this series. It has opened my eyes to...more
Well this author definitely knows how to keep you reading and always wanting more. I am sorry to see this end as I so loved the main characters. However I do love how the storyline went and so surprised with it as well.
This is a definite series to read and I am glad that I have the whole series to go back to and reread.

I love this series and am sad to see it come to an end. That being said what was with the last book? I wanted to chuck the book across the room after reading the prologue to the last book! Of course I love my book to much to throw them but still. It took me a few days to pick the book up again and after the first chapter had the urge to throw it again! Come on how much crap can one person take? Even super powerful witches deserve a break from evil! It was another few days before I could bring my...more
Haha! I am done! It was a really interesting story that I actually thouroughly enjoyed and now it is over. I was really attached to the characters, so I am a little sad to be done. That also means that I can move along to more books. I actually would recommend this to someone who enjoys a good witch adventure. The ending is quite satisfying. Everything is resolved. My favorite part... NO Loose Ends! *celebrates*
Individual Ratings:
Reckoning: Four stars.
Full Circle: Two stars. I found this one extremely hard to get into. I skimmed most of it, only reading it because I had a feeling I would be confused about the next one if I didn't.
Night's Child: Four stars. Probably one of my favorites in the series.

I absolutely loved this series! I've reread the series several times since the books are such an easy read. The least favorite book is the last one; I didn't care for how it ended. I wish Cate Tiernan would keep adding to this series since I love it so much!
Reckoning
I enjoyed this departure from the main story and characters. Alisa is sweet and seeing something beyond Widow's Vale was refreshing. I hope some of the characters introduced in this book pop up in the next two. 3.5 stars

I couldn't decide whether to give this book 2 or three stars, but I thought I'd be generous. It was definitely not my favorite of the series. Book three in this book (it contains 3 books in one) really angered me. Can you say Jump the Shark? And, what was the whole point of following Allisa to her uncle's house in the second part. It was like a wrench thrown in to the series. Boooo!
I really liked the Sweep series. I craved and was waiting on pins and needles for the next one. I have to say I felt like the ending was wrapped in a bow :( Always sad when a series is over but I guess we cannot all pick the ending to be what we want. I will still recommend the books I love the story and characters.
HAppy for Morgan and Hunter.sad because it is over. although i expected alisa to be in the last story and so as the others. i just miss them i guess. i love this series. will definitely share this with my kids someday. thank u Cate Tiernan for this wonderful series. :)
OMG!!! this is the last volume and i didnt want it to end, i read them all and they were just great, cant put them down once i picked them up.......
I loved this whole series. It had many twists and turn throughout the books. In a way I am happy to finish th series because now I now what happened to Morgan and her family but in a way its sad because you aren"t going on any more adventures with her or Hunter. Sometimes it is hard to find a really good ending to a series, but Cate Tiernan did a wonderful job. I loved ever one of these books!
This book, which has books 12-15 in it was the best one of all of them. I would give it a 6 If I could. I love this series and recommend to anyone who likes romance and witch stuff. :)
One of my all time favorite book series. Wish it never ended. <3
Book 15 was the best ending I have read. I loved reading this book!

I enjoyed every page of this series and am sad it is done.
loved it! wonderful ending to the series! :))
I wish the book hadn't jumped so far in the future. It was also confusing sometimes to remember whose point of view each chapter was written from. Overall, I really enjoyed the series.

"was born in New Orleans, LA, in 1961. New Orleans is one of the most interesting American cities, and it has an incredibly rich and exotic culture that had a profound influence on me. Kids in other cities have lemonade stands; we sold voodoo gris-gris and made wax dolls in the likenesses of our enemies. It's a very beautiful city, and the constant heat and humidity make gardens grow out of contro...more
