I'll warn people straight off the bat. This is the book where the series is supposed to start shifting the focus from Morgan to Alisa. The next book will focus on Hunter, but from there out the books supposedly focus on Alisa more.
In this book Morgan finds that strange things are beginning to happen around her- even more so than usual. Her father still roams free, despite the attempts of the good witches who are trying to track him down. Morgan can't help but wonder if these events- More...

I've read the entire Sweep series and found them to be very enjoyable (they're teen books so they are what they are). I have to admit that I'm apparently a real sucker for series books. I just can't help wanting to find out what's going to happen to the main characters. In this series, I loved Hunter and really couldn't wait to find out how it would finally end. I wasn't disappointed. The only sad thing was that the series had to end at all! :-(

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".
After #3, 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, B More...

Today's review is on Strife by Cate Tiernan
Strife is the 9th book in the Sweep series by Tiernan, and is a step downward from her previous volumes.
As in the previous book, Morgan's life is still out of control. Her father is on the loose, and even though she knows his true name she is reluctant to tell Hunter. Her grades are still falling and her parents feel that their only option is to send her to a Catholic school.
If that's not enough, t More...

Strife
It was definitely a great book, but not the best in the series. It wasn't as suspenseful as some of the others were. But I can't wait for the next one because of how it ended. Morgan gives off the feeling of being very lonely in this book. Mary K is drifting farther away by the day. She's more concerned with Alise then Morgan. And Alise is coming across as the poor me character. The one thing that does frustrate me about this series… Morgan, how she never speaks up when she sh More...

SO this one took me a while to read and get through. Maybe it was because it wasn't as dramatic and suspenseful as the other books were. I found myself at times, a bit bored with this book. The council is on the hunt for Ciaran still. Hunter is still on the hunt for his parents, believing that he's receiving signs from them. Sky is unhappy where she is and longs to go back home to England. All of Morgan's friends are having issues of their own and her family life is falling part, along with her

Weird things are happening and no one can really figure out why. Cal and Selene are dead. Ciaran is on the run and he couldn't possibly be making them happen from how far away he is... so naturally, everyone starts blaming Morgan. She's powerful, she uninitiated... maybe she's causing these things to happen without knowing it.
Hunter brings someone to help Morgan learn more about her powers and how to control them. She starts tutoring Morgan as soon as she gets there.

Ok, sono ufficialmente caduta nel tunnel della saga Sweep... non so come farò a resistere quando tra pochi volumi andrò in crisi di astinenza e dovrò aspettare le due prossime pubblicazioni che chissà quando arriveranno in Italia...
Mi piace che ormai la storia non sia più così scontata e prevedibile come si poteva presumere nei primi volumi.
Ora i miei dubbi sono su Ciaran: ma davvero c'è voluto così poco per catturarlo? naaaaa troppo facile...

Strange things are happening around Morgan. Is she being attacked or is she somehow causing the events herself? All the stress is starting to show in her grades and her teachers and family are concerned. As always, Hunter is at her side, but she is also afraid that he will leave her to search for his mother and father.
Well, these books just keep sucking me in. I love them even though I still get so annoyed at Morgan. She is such a ... well, teenage girl. Can't wait to see what is goi More...

I really liked this book, but I was disappointed in it's ending. I won't say too much and spoil it for you, but Cate Tiernan has a way of leaving things hanging so you never really know for sure who is doing what. Also I can't believe Hunter's choice at the end of the book, SHOCKING! Poor Morgan is all I have to say.
I did get really annoyed with Morgan in this book as well because she never seems to know when to say when. Her grades are slipping, her parents are pissed, her friendships More...

Great book but I don't think that people that havent read the previous books from this series would have a hard time understanding. The emotion of the characters are so well written and explain that I could almost feel it myself. The idea of magic in this book is about spells and rituals with seems more likely than normal witch books.

I guess I'll get back to this sometime... stopped reading at the start of book ten because it's not from Morgan's point of view. Book ten didn't look awful or anything, but it was just enough of a break in the story to make me feel like reading something else instead.

I couldn't do this anymore I became turned off by the constant replication of facts in each book, its not often I don't finish what I start out reading but when I don't touch my kindle for almost 2 days just to avoid re-reading the background of every character in each book, something is wrong. I liked them but lost my tolerance for it.

I can see where the story is about to go, and I love it! Nine volumes in, and I'm still intrigued by Morgan and Hunter. Great series - not too intense, but Cate certainly takes you where you want to go. Time for me to go buy volume 4...!

The council is looking for Ciaran. Meanwhile, strange things are happening around Morgan. Hunter and Morgan saw a strange figure in the road. Also, other mysterious things happen. Hunter thinks that his parents are sending messages, but Morgan thinks that Ciaran is the cause of all these strange happenings. Since Morgan is an untrained witch, a new character is brought in to try to help her. Everyone seems to think that Morgan is the cause of all of the strange things that are happening. M

Strange things are happening around Morgan is she causing them or someone else? Not the best book in the series too mixed up.

This was a very good book although I hate the fact that just as everything is going so good for Hunter has to leave her. :(

I like it. It was okay. But the drama that was going on, I felt it was left open. It didn't close anything. Oh, well on to the next I'm still hooked.

really good. i didn't like it that everyone was blaming morgan because of her powerful magick, but i guess that what she has to deal with every day since she became a witch.
