Cal, how could you? How could you! *spoilers*
I don't think Morgan was wrong about not forgiving Cal for his betrayals. I would have forgiven him though, were it me.
Okay, i'm a guy so i'm biased but to Cal's credit:
He really loved her, he was willing to do anything to protect Morgan from his mother; kill her (a litttle extreme), sacrifice himself (which does happen) etc.
We were completely on Cal's side, the reader feels safe when they're around Cal. Things are less complicated; Hunter/Sky-bad peo...more

This girls idiocy knows no bounds it seems.
When she goes to Practical Magick and David asks her who she can trust and she replies that she can trust herself. Her own instincts told her to run when Cal mentioned people who wanted to meet her. Her own instincts told her to get out of his secret room because the vibrations were bad, yet she thinks Hunter is 'misguided'.

Meine Meinung:
"Flammende Gefahr" ist mittlerweile das vierte Buch der Schatten rund um die Bluthexe Morgan Rowland, die nach und nach ihre Hexenwurzeln kennen lernt und tiefe Wurzeln zum Volk der Wicca schlägt. Seitdem sie weiß, dass sie adoptiert ist, hat Morgan mit Hilfe ihrer Freunde herausgefunden, wer wirklich ihre Mutter ist und das sie eine große Hexe aus dem augerotteten Zirkel Belwicket ist.

ZUM INHALT:

So we learn in this one that Hunter is the good guy and Cal is the bad guy, but at the same time I still hold my doubts about Cal being completely and utterly dark. I loved the power and the drama that went on in this one. It was different to the others, and yet at the same time it seemed to express just as much danger, depth and darkness. It was effective and emotional in all the right places and I really felt all of Morgans feelings as I was reading through it. The relationship that she has wi...more
The first 2-3 books in this series are addictive, a fresh "modern-teen" POV in the tired genre of witches/kids with supernatural powers finding themselves (and the wonder of Wicca) among families/communities who "don't get it".
Here, by #4, it goes downhill. There is no psychological development of the main characters (and the secondary characters are quite shallowly described and hard to distinguish throughout the series; even the more promising and believable ones, BFFs Bree & Robbie are es...more

Today’s review is on Dark Magick by Cate Tiernan
Dark Magick is the 4th book in Tiernan’s Sweep series and I have to say that with each book I read in the series the more I enjoy them.
In Dark Magick Morgan finds out that Cal and his mother are also Woodbane witches and that they practice “traditional” magick. Traditional meaning that they practice dark magick. She also learns that Cal has been helping his mother find other Woodbane witches to join her coven. His job was to find the female witches...more

This is 4th book of Cate teirnan and I liked it. It was about how Morgan adjusted to her magick,her guilt that she killed Hunter. This is book where she start doubting everything she had. There so many secrets revealed. This book proved that how Morgan was a powerful witch and came to know mor about her mom's history. I wanted a little more of Bree her but still it was good. I felt what she went through the whole book..Love , shock,guilt, betrayal. I like the way Cate Tiernan deals with good and...more
I do have to give the reader a potential warning: if you thought that you were addicted to the series before, you most certainly will be after reading this book!!
The story once again picks up on the very tail end of the previous book. In order to save her boyfriend, Morgan had to attack someone. Understandably traumatized, Morgan starts to distance herself from her boyfriend Cal after the event. When she begins to grow suspect of Selene & Cal's intentions, Morgan finds that almost everythin...more

HA! (view spoiler) This series only gets better and better.
The characters are really developing, especially Morgan. She needs to learn more, and I hope she gets some better teachers (David and Alyce for example)
Here we have twists and turns and a great deal of mystery. We have history too, and a deeper knowledge of what's going on.

I give this book 4 stars merely for its entertainment value.
It's definitely not an example of literary genius, but the storyline is interesting and compelling. The book is based on the idea of witchcraft and being really fascinated with the paranormal genre at the moment, I thought it would be a refreshing break from reading about vampires and werewolves.

i love this series! It is seriously all i can think about. I mean while going to sleep, in my dreams, even in the shower i think of Cal, Morgan, Hunter, Robbie, Bree, Sky, Raven & the rest of the crew. I am just upset i can't find these books in stock at any local bookstores. I've been borrowinf from the library but someone lost Spellbound so i'm upset i can't find it anywhere. I am about to order it off the internet NOW!! Seriouly if you are an avid reader like me (for instance other than m...more
Probably 4.5. Can’t say I didn’t see this coming from a mile away!! But, wow, it was even crazier than I expected! Lots of surprises and some scary action. I’m really excited about some of the changes and can’t wait to see where the story goes from here. Not as bothered by Morgan in this book, but really liked to see her gaining more knowledge and getting clued-in to things she really needed to know. I’d like her to have more people she can trust and rely on to give her accurate info so she’s no...more

This book is amazing just like the others in the series. You can really feel the emotions that Morgan goes through.
Love, Devotion, Anger, Confusion, Sadness.
She finds it's so hard to know who to believe. Who is out to harm you and you harm? Who is truthful and only has love and devotion to you? Who is really a friend? Who is lying to you?
So many different emotions. So much conflict.
In such a short time she has grown up so much.
As always the book ends with high drama. I am left with wondering wh...more

Morgan is totally in love with Cal. But is Cal in love with Morgan, or her magic. And why are people gathering at Cal's house anyway. And why do they all want to meet Morgan? The plot thickens as Morgan tries to understand her conflicting feelings and the way people are treating her. Is she really one of the most powerful witches alive? Like I said, the plot thickens.

Hach und der Endkampf! Naja der erste Endkampf. Ich glaube soweit ist Band 4 mein Lieblings Teil, weil so viel plötzlich Sinn ergibt und viele Sachen in einem ganz anderen Licht dastehen, jetzt wo Morgan realisiert, wie die verschiedenen Figuren in Wirklichkeit zur guten oder bösen Seite gehören. Ich mag besonders das Ende, wenn Bree (ihre beste Freundin seit Kindheitstagen, die sie wegen Cal hasste und die Freundschaft kündigte) Morgan das Leben rettet und man merkt, dass sie am Ende doch eigen...more
There is one tiny mistake in this book. I've seen it the second time I've read it and now again at the third time. I checked it again to see if it was really a mistake but:
When Hunter comes to Call his house in Blood Witch, he left his car working (I don't know how you call it) with the keys in the ignition. Well if you have the conversation between Selene and Morgan. Selene tells Morgan she bewitched the car to move because there were no keys. But maybe the no-keys part was a bit fuzzy and she...more

Morgan is very upset by the fact that she thinks that she killed Hunter when she threw the athame that Cal gave her for birthday and hit Hunter with it resulting in Hunter going over the Cliff. Morgan takes Cal back to his house and bandages his wrist where the a braigh - a spelled chain meant to hurt witches that Hunter had tied him up with. She tries to send a witch message to Sky, Hunter’s cousin to tell her that Hunter is hurt and needs help. Morgan also calls 911 anonymously to report Hunte...more

In a nutshell: Cal's weird behaviour is coming more to the forefront, and Morgan is starting to doubt whether or not he's being as genuinely truthful as he claims to be. But the threat of powerful 'evil forces' are coming upon Morgan, and she has to choose which boy should she trust at this time, Hunter or Cal?

I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!! Ohhhh, Cal, you're an evil evil little witch! I knew he was bad news from the beginning, and this story just nailed it for all of us. I have to say, as much as I had a bad feeling about him, I was still hoping & secretly rooting for him, that he was not a bad guy. But, with a mother like Selene, who could blame him?
Book #4 and I'm so engrossed with this series, that I've read three books just today alone. I didn't think I'd enjoy them, as much am I am.

Ah so I see that Cal's true colors has been revealed. I swear that I saw this coming since the introduction of Selene in book 1. I knew something wasn't right with that woman. She was to fake and syrupy.
I feel really bad for Morgan, but at the same time I don't at all for falling for Cal. For some reason I'm so reminded of Patch from Hush, Hush. There really isn't something right with the fiction for young adults. Do girls really find these situations romantic or attractive?

I have read this book so many times and every time i read it i love it even moore. this serise is such a gread set of books to read. I startedreading themwhen i was 14 and i read them at lease twice a year just because i enjoy them so much. the main character, Morgan, is such a diverse character that every girl in some way or another can relate to. The love story is briliant between morgan and hunter
I really enjoyed reading this one out of the four I've read so far. I loved the action, loved the drama, and loved the revelation. Morgan is growing - both in maturity and in her magick. I feel like the plot moved along wonderfully. Her emotions involving Hunter were very realistic and her steady realization that Cal and Selene are not who they said they were. I'm eager to read on.
Oh Cal... how could you???
:`-(
It was gripping and thrilling. Very entertaining and interesting. The whole situation has changed now. And in the end, Bree came to save Morgan. At least something good!
I am still not sure what to think about Hunter, I know everyone who read the whole series loves Hunter, so I am VERY curious how it goes on now...
But now I gotta go, I have to read Book #5!
Bye!

Dark Magick is an intriguing and tantalizing novel. The chaos and struggles in Morgan's life as she copes with being a blood witch and trying to sort out the truths of her life are captivating. Cate Tiernan has created another magical novel that is enticing with the dangerous, powerful, and enchanting world of Morgan Rowlands.

"Thank you, Dr. Laura," I said snippily.
"I'm not afraid of her," Hunter said, like a six-year-old, and I wanted to kick him under the table. Now that I knew he was actually alive, I remembered just how unpleasant he was.”
