Book Review: The Calling by Cate Tiernan (Book 7 of the Sweep Series)



A Little About the Book: Morgan and Hunter travel to New York City, Morgan to seek out information about her birth parents and Hunter to continue his quest to end the deadly Woodbane conspiracy. But in their search for answers, they find themselves in terrible danger.


My Review: After waking from a nightmare that was so vivid and felt so real that even when she was awake, Morgan still felt shaken from what she saw in her dreams, she knew that it wasn't just a dream.  Neither does Hunter or the council.  It was a vision and they all wanted to figure out what it meant, especially they wanted to discover who was the poor, wolf pup that appeared to be a sacrifice of some sort.

Trying to discover the truth of the dream, Morgan and Hunter, along with some of their friends and coven members, travel to New York City where a coven of dark and powerful Woodbane members are known to reside. 

As Morgan struggles with using her magick for only good, she also struggles to hold onto her friendships that have become strained since her discovery of being a blood witch.  She also struggles with trying to find the truth about her birth parents and what being a witch really means.  It doesn't help that she feels guilty over the death of Cal and Selene, while also pining after Hunter who seems too busy with council business to really spent time with her. Everything going on in her life seems to be draining her, especially after reaching to city and being plagued with the nightmare that pops up when she least expects it.  Add in the fact that the leader of the dark coven is also the man who murdered her mother, it's a wonder that Morgan doesn't just break under the stress.

As Morgan continues her search of the truth and to save whoever the wolf pup is, Morgan finds herself in the heart of the danger.  A danger that might just prove to be fatal not only to her, but also those she cares for.

The Calling is an amazing addition to the Sweep series.  Though it is short, it is an intriguing novel.  The magick, insecurities, jealousy, danger, and love that fill the pages are intoxicating.  Once again, Cate Tiernan has me turning page after page until I finish the novel and leaves me begging for more.  The hardships of Morgan Rowlands life will have you eager to read more to find out how everything will play out.  5/5 STARS
