Book Review: Changeling by Cate Tiernan (Book 8 of the Sweep Series)



A Little About the Book: When Morgan receives a shocking revelation about her family, she’s thrown into a moral tailspin, believing that her essential nature is evil. Is her dark heritage too powerful to overcome?

*** Book description found at Amazon.com:

My Review:  Morgan Rowlands has just broken up with her boyfriend, Hunter, after discovering that her father was evil and the reason for her mother's death.  Morgan is convinced that if she has such an evil, corrupted father, then she must be tainted and would only harm those who come in contact with her. 

As Morgan is moping around the house, she gets a surprise visit from one of the council members who have a dangerous task for her.  They want her to get to close to her father in order to learn his evil plans to stop his coven from calling on the dark wave to wipe out another coven.  Morgan knows that this task could be the end to her life, especially since her father had already tried to destroy her soul in New York, but people she cares about are in grave danger if she refuses.  She has no choice, not if she wants to keep those that she cares about safe.

In order to get in touch with her father, Morgan seeks at her half-brother, Killian.  She tricks Killian into getting their father to come to town and Morgan does her best to gain each of their trust, while the whole time she's trying to resist the temptation of performing dark magic and becoming emotionally close to her father and brother. 

Changeling is an intriguing addition to the Sweep series.  The power, deceit, manipulation, temptation, love, and sacrifices that fill the pages are intoxicating.  As Morgan struggles with the task set before her, she also struggles with the inner turmoil of never straying from the path of light.  Cate Tiernan has done an outstanding job with the series and I can not wait to continue.  4/5 STARS
