My Review: Eclipse is split into two perspectives- Morgan's and Alisa's, which adds an interesting twist to the novel.
After betraying her father and refusing to join him and his coven, Morgan finds her family, friends, soul mate, and herself to be in mortal danger, for the dark wave is coming. The dark wave is a dark spell that has the ability to wipe out entire towns, destroying all that comes across it's path.
With the help of Rose's memoir, Hunter's father, Daniel, is able to construct a spell to dismantle the dark wave, but at the price of it taking the life of whomever were to perform the spell. It doesn't help that as the dark wave draws near, the blood witches begin to feel weakened and ill, draining them of their magic.
As all this is happening, another discovery is made while a life is changed. Alisa Soto, a mere teenage girl, discovers that she's not just an ordinary girl after all. In fact, she's half of a blood witch, with a full blood witch's power. The perfect candidate for the spell to dismantle the dark wave. She's witch enough to have the power to perform the spell, but all non-witch enough to withstand the negative aspects of the dark wave.
So her training begins with Hunter's father. The only question now is, will Alisa be able to learn the difficult spell in time to stop the dark wave from bringing mass destruction and death to Widow's Vale or will they all fail and have their lives snuffed out before they really had the chance to live them?
Eclipse is an intriguing novel in the Sweep series. Once again, Morgan finds her life to be in danger from magickal means. The love, betrayal, self-discovery, power, and danger that fills the pages of this novel are cleverly written as they are enchanting. This novel brings new twists and turns into the series, still able to hold the attention after eleven previous novels. 4/5 STARS
