Read in April, 2010

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- strange telekinetic events- are done because of him or if they are a new facet of her overwhelmingly strong magic that is threatening everyone.

I liked this book for the most part, but at times I have to admit... Morgan kind of wore on me. I understand that she's a teenage girl & that she's going through a lot, but at times she just didn't really seem to be able to see beyond her own problems. Plus the whole "Morgan is great at everything" stuff gets a little old after a while. Luckily since these books are so short, none of this is really that big of a problem- the book ends before any of it gets that annoying or disrupts my reading. This might not be as great as some of the earlier entries, but it is still good enough for me to give it 4 stars.

All I can say is that if you really have liked the series so far, you'll probably like this one as well. This just might be one you would want to check out from the library first rather than buy outright, just to ensure that you like the way the series is starting to shift.

Zuzu974 I wanted to know what this book would be like, because I love all the first books and i think you answered it all! So the book is not as good as the others? Because I read the first few pages and I really liked them!
