"The Coven" picks up right where book #1 left off. In just a few days Morgan has discovered Wicca, fallen in love and fought with her best friend. Now it seems that everything she has believed about herself and her family for the last sixteen years is about to be exposed as a lie...

I've gotta say I liked this book a lot more than I did "Book of Shadows". Initially, I didn't find the characters that interesting (take into account I prefer my heroines full of attitude in the Susannah "The Mediator" Simon style) or the relationships between them that realistic. One thing I do love, however, is the information on Wicca. Since beginning this series I have started reading up about it on the Internet, and while I can't see myself becoming a witch in the foreseeable future (perfectly happy being agnostic thanks very much) this series has helped to change my perceptions of the whole idea.

Overall, I would award this book four and a half stars. Definitely recommended to any fans of Wicca and I promise the ending will leave you desperate for the third book in the series.

After Morgan was announced into the coven everything changed. SHe has a boyfriend, her best friend hates her, and she's seeing everything in a new life. But when she learns a life shattering secret from her past her view on everything is changed. She finds herself getting futhur and futhur into wicca against her parents wishes and she suddenly feels as if she belongs. But will her thirst for knowlege about her real birth mother change everything? Or will it just destory it.

Like the last book in the series this book is an amazing book on magical witches. But unlike the last in the series it's much more suspenseful and dark. I loved this book it's better than the last and I can't wait till the next one comes out. I reccomend it to anyone who's read the first book or is a fan of Silver Ravenwolf's Witches Chillers books.

Everything in Morgan's life is changing. She now has an incredible boyfriend who loves her and her former best freind hates her guts. To top that off she finds out she's a blood witch only to discover that her parents are not her real parents. She's adopted! Morgan, thanks to Alice at Practical Magick finds out about her mother and father. She finds that she is the daughter of 2 witches, Maeve Riorden and Angus Bramson. She also finds out she is the last descendant of Belwicket, a Woodbane coven that renounced dark magick. Through all of this Bree and Raven split off from Cirrus to join a different coven. And Morgan is worried that their leader is teaching them dark magick.

Another great addition to the Sweep series. Also the first appearance of Hunter and Sky!

Hi. I'm the author of Sweep, Cate Tiernan, and I wanted to thank everyone who's been reading the books and reviewing them for Amazon. I love getting the feedback, and it's very exciting for me to get firsthand reports of what people liked and didn't like about the series. It's been a really fun series to work on, and I appreciate everyone's kind words. I can't wait till you can read Sweep #3 and #4--you won't believe what's going to happen! Right now I'm working on #6, Spellbound, and even I'm surprised by some of the things these characters do. Thanks again, and keep reading! Best, Cate Tiernan

This book about Morgan a blood witch. She finds out that she is adopted adn everyone has known all along well everyone except her. She begins to feel angry towards her family. She is no longer talking to her best friend, guy troubles as usual. But she finally gets to experience love. She starts a search for her birth parents and find out some really creepy stuff.You have got to read this book I can't wait to read #3.

Everything Morgan Rowlands has known and believed for the sixteen years of her life is a lie. The people who raised her are not her parents. She is related to them and to their daughter, the girl Morgan knows as a sister, only in love, not in blood. Morgan's true ancestry lies with a coven of Irish witches that were brutally massacred one dark night in 1982, leaving only two survivors - Maeve and Angus, the young couple that are Morgan's birth parents. Morgan finds joy in her newfound magical powers and in her heritage of witchcraft. However, her adoptive parents refuse to accept it, insisting that Morgan's upbringing makes her as Catholic as they are and that witchcraft is the work of the devil. How can Morgan reconcile her love for the family that has always cared for her with her desire to pursue her newfound heritage? This was an entertaining fantasy with a realistic backdrop of teenage life and a touch of mystery.

I was hoping for another quick read when I picked up Cate Tiernan's The Coven and besides being distracted with school, this was a perfect fit. After finding out that she is a Blood Witch, Morgan is thrust deeper into her Wicca studies and relationship with Cal (obligatory dreamy teenage boy). Unfortunately for Morgan, most of her other relationships are dying out as she becomes totally involved with her new life. She also discovers some new power. However, towards the end of the novel we begin to wonder if she can trust who she thought she could trust. There is a reason that this series has a lot of books in it, Tiernan loves to let the drama get thicker and thicker. It reads much like a teenage soap opera, but it is fun without a lot of heavy duty issues popping up. I recommend it to feed that guilty pleasure we have of watching teenagers dig themselves in further than they should go and wonder how to get out of the mess that they have created. Happy reading!

The last book left off with Morgan beginning to realise her full potential as well as her kissing Cal in front of the rest of the coven... as well as in front of her best friend who had been infatuated with him. Now Morgan has lost her best friend as well and to add onto the pile, she's just discovered that she's adopted & that everyone else in her family (apart from her sister) has known about it all along. Needless to say, Morgan isn't doing very well right now.

I wasn't sure if I would continue to like the books but I have. Each book is just as good as the last one, so I've really got no complaints to it. The character development is pretty good and the author really seems to have a great grasp of teenage life as well as a real flair for storytelling. My biggest complaint is that the book just seems to end too soon!

Oh my Godess. I thought the book was spectacular and perfect. All the books in the Sweep series are amazing actually. When you're reading the book, there's so many emotions and details that you can actually put yourself in Morgan's place. I wouldn't mind reading this book over and over again forever.

I read these books at school, and wow! I fell in love since reading the first one. So far i am on book 6 and i love them! I love the characters and there is always a good plot.
