Hunter has come back from Canada with his da and Rose McEwan's diary in tow. After telling Morgan EVERYTHING they decide to read it together.

The story is all about Rose McEwan and how she met Diarmuid, the boy she thought was her soulmate, and fell in love. And it goes through their trials to stay together despite the fact that their realtionship is forbidden because he is Leapvaughn and she is Woodbane. And it also tells of Diarmuid's betrayal of Rose. In the end Rose creates the spell for the dark wave to kill off Diarmuid and his skanky girlfriend.

All I could think throughout this story was GO ROSE! I soo understood why she did what she did, even though it was soo wrong. I felt so bad for her and Diarmuid was such a creep, his girlfriend was too.

I didn't like this book as much as the others. It was sorta slow moving and didn't have much of Morgan and Hunter in it.

Okay, I admit, this book was sitting on my nightstand for a while. I had no interest in reading it because it took place in a different time zone with no Morgan or Hunter.

Well, turns out this book was absolutly amazing. It goes back to the orgins of the dark wave, and when Rose is performing it, you feel like you're in the book. It's so intense. When she cant get Diarmuid (or however the heck you spell his name) back, you want to reach out and help her.

Sorry if this review is a bit off, it's been a while since I read it.

I didnt think this book would be all this good. "Who is this Rose MacEwan?" i thought when i read the back cover, "whats she doing jumping into the WICCA series i know and love?" but i soon discovered....THIS IS SOME AWESOME BOOK, in my opinion, the best of all of them. Everything that I was confused about in the series suddenly all made sense, and this book made way for more great storylines to endure. I now love Rose almost as much as I love Morgan (in a non-lesbian way, i love her character and her personality, if you no wat i mean).

A Potent storyline; and despite it's diversion from Morgan's & Hunter's tale, this books still proves worthy of the Sweep collection. I hadn't expected it to be so good, as I prefer the first person being Morgan, however, I gained quite a surprise as I read it. This book unveils both innocence and guilt alike, from Rose's perspective. It is one of the most beautifully and potently crafted books of this series I've read yet. An intense, heart-wrenching tale of Morgan's ancestor living through the Burning Times, hiding amongst the Christians to ensure the survival or her clan as well as herself, coping with clan rivalry and bigotry, and the utmost stifes,...the pains of love, heartbreak, and betrayal. I anxiously await book #12. Tiernan is incredible!

Another book in the series not from Morgan's viewpoint. There are a brief prologue and epilogue that has Morgan and Hunter, but the rest of the book is told from the viewpoint of Rose MacEwan, an ancestor of Morgan's who lived during the Burning Times (the Spanish Inquisition).

Hunter is back and he has brought back a book chronicling the life of Rose MacEwan, a woman who first created the Black Wave. Hunter and Morgan read it.

Rose is a young woman (Morgan's age) who falls in love with a member of another witch tribe. Her mother is the High Priestess of their coven but does not seem to trust Rose. Love, witchcraft, passion, trust and betrayal all lead to shaping Rose's life.

As Rose has to deal with her personal trials, the anti-Wodebayne sentiments are on the rise.

Rose's story culminates with her creating the Black Wave spell (although it seemed pretty simple for a spell so powerful). As the story closes, Morgan wonders at the parallels between her life and Rose's and what it might mean for her future.

A nice piece of history, but a little out of synch with the rest of the series and its linear progression. I also missed the journal entries that previously started each chapter (they are absent in this volume). I would have liked to have seen something from Rose's mother's viewpoint or even Diarmuid's.

I have read ever single book from 1-12 and let me tell u there amazing.For those of u who think that the 12th book actually only comes out in July your wrong.Go to you local [store]they will surely have it.# 11 was okay it was hard to read about Rose and how everyone decived her.Even her own mother.And her wanna be boyfriend she should have never gotten pregnat in the first place.I mean i know there weren't codoms but hello Contraception SPELL it's not that hard.But in 12 it's much better.Everyone is getting siocker and sicker.Cairin returns to ask morgan to joing him which she obviously quickly refuses.then theres a dark wave comming and everyone is sick.Then Alisa turns out to be half-witch (her mother having stropped herself of her powers y? i dont know) Alisa actually turns out to save everyone and then boom thats the end of the book look out for # 13 in July or August.But probably [local store]will have it in July. Oh and for another question.When in the hell are Morgan and Hunter gonna get their freak on i mean come on dont keep the suspense there.

In this one of the sweep series, HUnter brings back the BOS from the lady who he had a assiment for. Its really one of Morgans assestors Rose. So they both start to read it at once.

Rose lives in the 1600s when witchs were burned at the stake. Shes woodbayne, and better yet her mother is te high priestce in her coven. Rose falls in love and gets pregnat, only to find out it would never work because of his clan. So another woman gets in the way. Anyway how it turns out is that that woman acusses her of a witch, she gets inprisioned, escapes, puts a spell on the one clan (which works, all of the members die in a fire) her mother diowns her, and she becomes the high pristice taking her mother's place, then starts the DARK WAVE. Morgan thinks her love might destroy her and Hunter both, but Hunter knows and loves her to much to let that happen.

I personally likes this book. It was better than the last. I like it wen its in Morgan;s point of view, i hope the next one is just as good.

Another installment to a great series. I loved all the twist and turns in this book and how the author is able to keep the story fresh through all of the books. A fun, quick read!

This was the best book of the series yet! It has forbidden romance, rebellion, and revenge. It is about Morgan's ancestor Rose. It chronicles Rose's forbidden romance, betrayal, and revenge on those who did her wrong. It is an amazing book! I wish there was a series about Rose!

Although I love this series this was my least favorite in the set I think. It doesn't involve the main characters much though it does explain a lot about how the evil witches come to be and where the dark wave comes from exactly!
