**** WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS ****
After escaping a near tragic fate, Morgan realizes that all she knew and loved for the past three months was a lie. Cal is evil and tried to kill her, and Hunter is not the bad guy he actually seemed to be. In fact, the more Morgan gets to know Hunter, the more she wants to be with him. Her feelings confuse her, but it's almost as if her soul is connected with Hunter.
As the romance between Hunter and Morgan develops, a terrible evil is being called upon by David, the coowner of the Wiccan store, Practical Magick. Hunter, the Seeker, finds out that David called upon the evil magick in order to save his store from being taken away by a rich man who had plans to knock it down in order to create his new business. That means that David will have to be stripped of his magic, and Morgan is one of the four blood witches who has to witness the event.
David being stripped of his magic is traumatic for everyone involved, but it brings Morgan and Hunter together. In the end, Hunter shows Morgan an unfamiliar stone that he says holds the heart's truest desire. The stone is Morganite, and in it, Morgan sees an image of Hunter.
I loved this book. It was thoroughly captivating, and I cannot wait to pick up the next book.

Sweep Series #4 Dark Magick by Cate Tiernan
Rating: 4 out of 5
If You Like: Witchcraft, Teen books
Similar to: The Secret Circle (TV show), Twilight, Avalon High (book by Meg Cabot and made into a movie)
Ages:13-30
**WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS**
This was definately the best book so far of this series.
Hunter isn't dead, and Morgan is relieved and surprisingly more happy than she feels she should be. After all, he did try to kill Cal, right?
Morgan finds out that not everyone is who they say they are. Cal admits to his mother and himself being the kind of Woodbane that practices the darker side of magic, and although some of Morgan's trust wavers, her love for Cal clouds her judgement.
In the end, Morgan realizes that her love for Cal and the spell on the pendant he gave her has been clouding her vision of magic. Cal and Selene are evil Woodbanes who kill anyone who gets in the way of their growing power, and Morgan is next. The building around her is burning. Will she escape in time, or will this be the end of the Belwicket clan?
This book had me on the edge of my seat (or bed in my case) because it was so suspenseful, and the twists and turns had me captivated through all 186 pages. I can't wait to pick up the 5th book.
