Book Description

Publication Date: April 18, 2008

Alisa is half blood witch and is desperate to find out more about her witch ancestry so she runs away to find her late mother's witch family. From the moment she arrives, terrifying events envelop the entire family and Alisa herself appears to become the target of her ancestor's ghost. But there is no ghost. Alisa's striking resemblance to her mother is so distressing to her grandmother Evelyn, that it triggers dormant telekinetic powers in Evelyn which are responsible for causing the havoc. The revelation reconciles Alisa to her estranged family and to her own powers as a witch. Now she is ready to go home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alright, October 11, 2002

This review is from: Reckoning (Sweep, No. 13) (Mass Market Paperback)

i thoought this was a good book. It wasn't the best in the series but it was still good. It has just about no center on Morgan but on Alissa. She travels to her mothers hometown to discover her family. Her trip is hindered by the fact that she didn't get permission to go and by the fact that everyone in her family believes she doesn't have in magic. I'd definitly reccomend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating diversion in the series, October 9, 2002

This review is from: Reckoning (Sweep, No. 13) (Mass Market Paperback)

After a dozen books concentrating on Morgan, the Sweep series gets a jolt of new energy in this story of Alissa, whose journey to Gloucester and discovery of her family heritage is exceptionally well told. The author has crafted a well-told tale, with great new characters and a sly sense of humor. I can't wait to read more!

I loved this book, and I love this series. I couldn't put it down. I don't understand how some people reviewed this book below 5 stars. It was different than the other books, from a different person's point of view. I got to know Alisa more, and I am so happy she met Charlie, he sounds so nice.
Everyone has to read this book, if they haven't read any of the series they definitly should, they are missing out.
