Publisher's Summary

Something is happening to Morgan that she doesn’t understand. She sees things, feels things in a new way. She can do things normal people can’t do. Powerful things. Magical things. And it scares her.

She never chose to learn witchcraft, but she’s starting to wonder if witchcraft is choosing her.

Morgan and her best friend, Bree, are introduced to Wicca when a gorgeous senior named Cal invites them to join his new coven. Morgan falls for Cal immediately—and discovers that she has strong, inexplicable powers.

What the critics say

“This delectably dark [novel], first in the Sweep series, brings a supernatural spin to classic teen issues—popularity, romance, alienation and the search for self…While Tiernan’s ingredients are familiar, she stirs the cauldron with engaging, even cinematic, prose and sharply individuates her characters. She introduces the Wiccan material with some depth as well as with a skillful degree of ambiguity; readers will not know immediately whether or not the series embraces Wicca.” ( Publishers Weekly)

Featured Article: The Best Female Narrators You Can Listen To All Day


When considering a new audiobook, one of the biggest questions listeners have is whether they’ll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable as audiobooks span at least a few hours, and sticking with one person’s voice for that period can feel like a big commitment. Luckily, there are so many excellent voice actors performing audiobooks that you might just find yourself gravitating to certain audiobooks based solely on the narrator’s strength.

Lighthearted and entertaining

A fun and lighthearted story. Nothing exceptional, but the reader was really good and the story was fun enough to keep me going and wanting to continue to the next book.

An old favourite.

The publishing dates for these isn't very promising, but I hope audible can make the rest of these available. They only have the first few books in the series. I'd pay for them if I had too. Please audible! I want the rest!

So good

I killed the entire book in one session - couldn't turn it off! Don't think I can wait for my next credit to get the next book. Her ability to write Nd convey emotion is amazing. I was utterly swept away!
