My Review: Morgan struggles to keep both her old life and her wicca life, while losing neither one, but it gets harder and harder to do so when she's in constant danger. Not only does she have to worry about keeping her powers under control and not using them in ways that would be consider dangerous, she also has to worry about dark witches coming after her.
In order to help Morgan, the Witches Council sends a healer named, Erin, to assist in helping Morgan learn to defend herself against dark magic. But Erin doesn't get much of a chance to teach Morgan anything. Not when it appears that Morgan's magic is having uncontrollable outbursts that results in objects flying around the room and bookcases collapsing down on people. Morgan doesn't believe it's her, but who else could it be? She first believes it's her father, Ciaran, but the council says he's in Spain and that telekinesis needs proximity. When everyone becomes scared of the uncontrollable magic, especially Alisa, Erin convinces Morgan that they have no choice but to bind Morgan's powers, at least until she learned better control. When her power's have been bound, Morgan feels hollow and has a constant headache that won't go away. She feels incomplete.
When uncontrollable magic still continues to go on, even after Morgan's power has been bound, Erin and witch's council have no choice but to think it from another source- Ciaran. After unbinding Morgan's power, Erin leads the group in a spell that she learned from a dark magic book, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
The spell works and Ciaran is captured by the seekers, but something unexpected happens. Objects are still moving without cause. Morgan tries to think that it's just a coincidence, but in the world of magic there is one thing that you learn- there are no coincidences.
Morgan doesn't have much time to dwell on the matter, because she learns that Hunter, the love of her life- her soul-mate, is leaving for Canada in search of his parents. A fact that scares her completely, because she's not certain that he'll ever come back.
Strife is the ninth book to the Sweep series by Cate Tiernan. It's just as powerful and intriguing as the previous books. The life of Morgan Rowlands is captivating as it's enchanting. This novel will put your detective skills to the test to discover the mystery of what really is happening to the characters. 4/5 STARS
