I was hoping for another quick read when I picked up Cate Tiernan's The Coven and besides being distracted with school, this was a perfect fit. After finding out that she is a Blood Witch, Morgan is thrust deeper into her Wicca studies and relationship with Cal (obligatory dreamy teenage boy). Unfortunately for Morgan, most of her other relationships are dying out as she becomes totally involved with her new life. She also discovers some new power. However, towards the end of the novel we begin to wonder if she can trust who she thought she could trust. There is a reason that this series has a lot of books in it, Tiernan loves to let the drama get thicker and thicker. It reads much like a teenage soap opera, but it is fun without a lot of heavy duty issues popping up. I recommend it to feed that guilty pleasure we have of watching teenagers dig themselves in further than they should go and wonder how to get out of the mess that they have created. Happy reading!
Cate Tiernan wrestles between real Wicca and fiction within this book. She is an excellent author.
I love the entire Sweep series so much that I reread it about once a year. It's perfect reading for long, cold days and it's very easy to get sucked into Morgan's world. The story is centered around Wicca and Morgan's family, and her growing attraction to Cal, the new guy in town, who takes an interest in her.
I recommend it to anyone who enjoys magic, mystery and romance woven together.
