Dark Magick

I hate when I find my fears for fictional characters are true.

Morgan's life is not getting any better. She's convinced that she's killed someone. Cal is being rather, well, borderline abusive. I spent so long wanting to yell at her that he can't be trusted. I could not have told you why (although, now I can), but I did not trust Cal anymore.

Morgan is definitely powerful, but her life in turmoil and not knowing really who she can trust to help her figure out her power has made everything rather volatile.

I hope that she's going to be ok in the next book. I have been more worried about Morgan as a character than I can remember being in any other novel/series.

First Book of the Year - Blood Witch

So, as I said in my last post, I have already finished my first book this year. That honor for 2016 goes to Blood Witch, the third book in the Sweep series by Cate Tiernan.

I must say, I am enjoying this series. Morgan, the main character is a typical teenage girl until Cal comes into her life, introducing her to Wicca and magic. By Blood Witch, she's tapped into her power as a blood witch, and her life is kind of in turmoil.

She's found out she's adopted, that her birth parents were murdered by being burned in a locked barn, and there's a new player in town who has made her instincts go a little crazy.

By the end of the book, I'm having some serious issues with certain characters. One in particular is raising some major red flags and I'm wondering if this particular character is who they say they are. I'm honestly worried about Morgan and what might be happening in her future. I hope that she can straighten herself out with regards to this and a few other relationships in her life because I'm worried it will be her downfall.

I have to stop getting so emotionally attached to fictional characters. Morgan doesn't exist, but I worry about her as if she were related to me. Must be a bookworm thing.

The Coven

This series is rather interesting. I just have this fascination with Wicca, and this series is just completely reigniting that interest.

Poor Morgan though. She discovers, suddenly at 16 years old, that she was adopted. Not only that, but she's a blood witch (which is kind of how she discovers that she's adopted). She lost her best friend because a guy they both liked chose Morgan instead. She just has a lot of ups and downs, and there is a lot for her to learn regarding her abilities as a witch.

I hated that it ended on a cliffhanger the way that it did, but it has definitely kept me interested so that I can't wait until I get the chance to enjoy the next book in the series.

Book of Shadows

I have to admit, at the beginning of this book I was feeling rather ambivalent. The writing style seemed a little amateur compared to what I normally like. But I soon managed to completely overlook that in my enjoyment of the actual story.

It was an engaging story and I became increasingly interested in Morgan's journey from normal teenager to someone special as she learns about the wonders of Wicca. The ending was a tease that left me wanting more, so I look forward to getting into the next book in this series.
