Book Review: Spellboud by Cate Tiernan (Book 6 of the Sweep Series)


A Little About the Book: Morgan knows that a great battle is to come. More immediately, she senses that someone is out to harm Hunter. Is it a human or a witch?

My Review:  Morgan is just as confused as ever, maybe even more so now than before.  She feels drawn to Hunter, even if they still clash together.  There's just something about him that entices Morgan.  But she still feels for Cal, her ex-boyfriend and would be killer.  

When it appears as if someone is out to get Hunter, Morgan can't help thinking it's Cal or Selene, even if it's mundane accidents without the help of magic. The need to be able to protect herself as well as others becomes obvious.  With the little help of magic, Morgan would be able to gain knowledge from an older, more knowledgeable witch in a sort amount of time- a terrifying and enticing thought.

What Morgan wanted and didn't want more than anything was a confrontation with Cal, but she knew that it was inevitable.  She no longer trusts Cal and with that knowledge, she is able to break free from the heartache that thinking of him caused and move on to a new love- Hunter.

What Morgan hadn't been counting on was Selene returning so soon, and for her to kidnap Morgan's little sister, Mary K.  There was no way that Morgan could just sit back, she had to save her sister from Selene.  With her birthmother's tools and Hunter at her side, Morgan set out to find Selene and save Mary K- even if in the end it would kill her.  

Spellbound is a promising novel in the sweep series.  It's a intriguing addition to the world of Morgan Rowlands.  New love blossoms slowly and clumsily, just as old, bitter love reappears.  Choices and sacrifices are made, even if some are small and tedious.  Morgan can no longer sit on the sidelines in the world of magic- her magic is just too powerful.  The hardships that go on through the novel are tantalizing as they are sad.  As the characters plow through life with magic, they must tread forward carefully, or they just might prick their finger on the thorn of the rose.  I find it almost impossible to put down the book- too eager to read more and discover what will happen next.  5/5 STARS
