My Review: This novel is set about twenty years in the future from the last of the series. Morgan lost Hunter fifteen years ago, only to lose her husband, Colm, six months ago. All Morgan has left is her daughter, Moira, and the Belwicket coven.
After nearly fifteen years of peace from threats of dark magick, Morgan finds herself once again targeted. All signs point to another coven that had different opinions from Morgan about right or wrong, but then Morgan sees Hunter while scrying.
Morgan's daughter, Moira, also makes a few discoveries about her mother that leaves Moira feeling betrayed and upset. As she delves deeper into discovering her mother's past, a past that Morgan has kept hidden from her daughter in order to protect her, Moira is unable to know how she feels about it all. She doesn't know how to accept the new truths that surface, new truths that contradict everything she thought she knew about herself and family before. The biggest truth and most hardest to believe, for both Morgan and Moire, is that Colm wasn't Moira's father. Moira's father is Hunter Niall- the true love of Morgan's. Her soul mate.
To top it off, evidence shows that Hunter might still be alive. All those years of believing him to be dead might have been false, and it's up to Morgan, Moira, and Sky to find out once and for all if Hunter is really, truly dead or alive. A task that is not only dangerous and risky, but a task that could possibly bring them all together again.
Night's Child is by far the longest and most interesting book of the Sweep series. I found myself totally captivated within it's pages, unable to stop reading until I had finished. This novel is unlike the others, but it a very enticing way. The characters were the same, but different. It was like twenty years had really passed and changed them in ways that only life and hardships could. It was quite intriguing to see the characters in a new light, especially Morgan. Cate Tiernan has once again proved her talent in creating a story that is captivating and powerful. 5/5 STARS
