Ilustration Conducive To Books Night's Child (Wicca #15)
And we thought it was all over...*spoilers*Tiernan doesn't waste anytime in this book-the prologue kills off Hunter!
No. No! How can Hunter be dead?! And the Claddagh ring is gone too...
Where's the happy ending Morgan so very much deserves?
We have plenty of time to cry about that in the hundred pages that follow in which nothing happens. We NEED to deal with his death but the passage of time that's passed means that it's not being addressed.
The slow build-up of Morgan's suspicions and hopes is excruciating and leads to speed-reading. The reader cares not for Moira's petty troubles and just wants to know if Hunter is alive. Tiernan keeps us guessing up until the end, we really believe it might be a cruel joke by one of Morgan's evil 'relatives'. Ironically this is not far from the truth as her half-sister is behind his 'death'.
I really wondered if Morgan or Hunter was going to die in the final showdown. It would be just like Tiernan to add another layer of grief to their lives.
I am not a sadistic person, but I really wanted that bitch Iona to suffer before she died. I mean the crap she put Morgan through!
I thought it was clever of Tiernan to set the story in Ireland, far away from cities-technological advances of the past 20 years does not cross the reader's mind.
I would've liked a few more relationship updates as we don't get them all. I found it realistic...if a little disappointing that Raven/Sky didn't make it and Bree's failed relationship was a little bitter in my mouth.
My feelings at the end were nothing short of ecstatic. They all made it! It was also nice to see the experience sobered Moira, although maybe that was just the awe at having a new father.
98/100 Excellent

Moira Byrne has grown up hearing hushed whispers about her mother, the great Morgan of Belwicket, and the awesome powers she is said to possess. Moira just knows her as Mum and has only ever seen her work as a witch and healer. But when strange dark signs begin to plague Morgan and her daughter, Morgan fears that the darkness of her past has once again arisen to be fought once more and Moira begins to realise just how dangerous her mother can be.This is the fifteenth and final book in the Wicca4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ read for me!! This finished the series off nicely and it was great to see what has become of the characters 20 years later. No Wicca book would be complete without dark magic, a dark wave and family secrets - and this book was no exception! Full of surprises and just as enjoyable as the other books in the series. Having loved this series when I was in my teens, I loved the series just as much the second time round! I would definitely recommend them and will certainly be rereading the
This book was smooth and easy to get through, with lots of different reasons to keep reading in a hungry fashion. It ties everything together nicely and was written in a way that when people who haven't read the first fourteen books before, can easily catch up and still understand what's going on. It's definitely an incentive to read the prequels as well.I found myself flying through the book simply so that I would know if Hunter was really alive. I didn't realize how much I loved his character.
Well, goodbye, Sweep! Its been fun.
MILD SPOILERS!! ALERT!! MILD SPOILERS!!Let me start by saying overall I give the whole series 5 stars. I LOVE LOVE LOVED the first 14 books. I had really mixed feelings about this last one though. As a stand alone it could be a great book I think, but as the finale/bonus book in a 15 book series... NOT SO MUCH.Too be honest, I could really do without all the chapters from Moira's POV. Most of the time I wanted to skip all Moira's blah blah blah. Moira's story, while different from Morgan's in
I'll state it up front: this book was disappointing. I'm not arguing the whole "Hunter dies in the beginning" point. I actually thought that made for an interesting plot element. Tiernan had started setting something to this extent up in the previous book by mentioning Colm & that ending his job as a Seeker meant that Hunter would be unguarded. It's just that this book is very poor in quality when held up against the other Sweep books. It read more like a fanfiction you'd find on the
2.5I can't believe I FINALLY read this book! I've been reading this series since High School so more than 10 years. It wasn't all bad but it was way too long. I read it quickly just cause I wanted to finish it already!
