Book Review: Blood Witch by Cate Tiernan (Book 3 of the Sweep Series)



A Little About the Book: Morgan has found her mother’s Wiccan tools, and her relationship with Cal is strong. Everything seems perfect. Except that Cal’s half brother, Hunter, is stalking them. Hunter claims to be a Seeker who is investigating Cal for the misuse of magick. Whom can she trust?

*** Book description found at Amazon.com:

My Review: Morgan is caught in Selene's private study by Selene and Cal, a study that no one besides Selene herself could enter because of the enchantments and spells, but Morgan had found her way in- even if it was by accident.  When Morgan confronts Selene about Mauve's Book of Shadows, Morgan's birth mother, she knows that the book was meant for her.  As Mauve's daughter, it was rightfully Morgan's, and no one can disagree.  Morgan was giddy with her discovery.  She was actually going to get to read her birth mother's BOS!  Finally, she could find out about the woman who had conceived her and who was murdered before Morgan was even one years old.  
Two unexpected visitors put Morgan on edge, Hunter and Sky.  From the second she met them, she disliked them, and she could feel Cal's anger at Hunter- even if she didn't understand why he hated him.  Morgan felt a strong reaction to Hunter, stronger than what she felt with Sky, but she didn't know what it was.  There was just something about him that rubbed her the wrong way.  Sky was the coven leader of Bree, Morgan's ex-best friend, and Raven's new coven.  Morgan wishes that she knew what Sky was teaching them, she felt that it was dark and dangerous, but what could she do?  Her distrust of the two only grows deeper when she find them enchanting her own house one night. 

Morgan tries scrying with fire and it lead her to discovering her mother's tools at their old home.  Morgan can not believe that she found the wonderful treasures that used to belong to her mother, her grandmother, and so on... Passed down generation after generation.  

On the eve of Morgan's birthday, she felt happy as can be.  She was with the love of her life and everything was perfect.  Until, Hunter is found lurking outside of Cal's home.  A fight breaks out and is carried into the forest and to the cliff edge.  Hunter is about to harm Cal, so what choice did Morgan have?  She did what impulse told her to do.  She never meant for it to happen and the guilt gnaws at her.  What a way to spend the first hour of her birthday.

Blood Witch is intoxicating and intriguing.  The power, passion, danger, and sizzle of this novel are enchanting.  Cate Tiernan has once again created a novel that has me eager to continue.  The magic in this series is tantalizing as the secrets unfold, begging you to continue.  5/5 STARS
