Book Review: Dark Magick by Cate Tiernan (Book 4 of the Sweep Series)


A Little About the Book: Evil forces are after Morgan, forces connected with a dark wave of magick. And she knows something is wrong with the way Cal is acting, although she can’t put her finger on it. Cal is definitely hiding something, but is he out to hurt her, as Hunter says?

My Review: Morgan had stumbled through the forest, supporting Cal, trying to find his house.  She couldn't believe what had happened.  When she threw the athame, she didn't want to kill Hunter.  She just wanted to stop him from hurting Cal.  She didn't mean for him to fall over the cliff's edge and down to the rushing water that awaited at the bottom.  It was an accident!  But she couldn't think about it.  The guilt was gnawing at her.  What a thing to happen on her birthday.
Morgan starts to get a weird vibe from Selene and Cal, especially when Selene starts asking about Mauve's tools.  Morgan couldn't miss the tension Cal felt when Selene talked about the tools, and Morgan was happy that she followed Alyce advice and bound her mother's tools to her- now the tools were connected to Morgan.

When Cal shows Morgan his private room, she feels overwhelmed.  The room emanated dark power, and it felt suffocating to be there.  For the first time, Morgan wasn't sure if she should trust Cal.  What had he been doing in that room to make it feel so wrong?

When Morgan find out that Hunter is alive, she couldn't be happier- even if he still annoyed her.  She was surprised by her reaction to him, she felt truly happy that he was a live and well.  She shrugged it off as just being relieved that she hadn't been responsible for his death.  

After scrying with Sky, Morgan discovers a hard truth that leaves her hurt and betrayed.  When she leaves to confront Cal, she never expected the fatality that that choice might possess.  Not until it was too late.

Dark Magick is an intriguing and tantalizing novel.  The chaos and struggles in Morgan's life as she copes with being a blood witch and trying to sort out the truths of her life are captivating.  Cate Tiernan has created another magical novel that is enticing with the dangerous, powerful, and enchanting world of Morgan Rowlands.  5/5 STARS
