About the author
Cate Tiernan
103 books3,812 followers"was born in New Orleans, LA, in 1961. New Orleans is one of the most interesting American cities, and it has an incredibly rich and exotic culture that had a profound influence on me. Kids in other cities have lemonade stands; we sold voodoo gris-gris and made wax dolls in the likenesses of our enemies. It's a very beautiful city, and the constant heat and humidity make gardens grow out of control. There's an air of lassitude there, a general acceptance of eccentic or flamboyant behavior--the heat simply makes people do crazy things.
I went to school in New York, and after school went back to New Orleans. Then I went back to New York (Manhattan) and got a job in publishing and started writing. My first book, a young, middle-grade chapter book, was published in 1990.
Living in Manhattan was incredible, even though I didn't have a lot of money. There was so much to do and see, and so many interesting people to watch. There was a lot of frenetic energy there, and sometimes that felt very wearing and hard to live with. After eight years I was ready for a change, and my husband and I moved back to New Orleans. (Are you seeing a pattern here?)
(While I was in NY, I helped edit "The Secret Circle" by L.J. Smith. I thought it was great.)
We stayed in New Orleans five years. By the time we had two small children we knew we had to find someplace safer to live. I was glad my children were born in New Orleans--I had been born there, and my father had, and his father had, and his father had and so on. There was something about the connection of generations of blood coming from one place that I found very primal and important.
Now I live in a cohousing community in Durham, NC. This is the most suburban place I've ever lived, and it's very different from living right in the middle of a city. For one thing, there aren't enough coffee shops. However, it's incredibly safe, and the community is very important to me. There are a lot of strong women here, and I find them inspiring.
Am I a witch? Well, no. Even Wicca is too organized a religion for me. I'm much more idiosyncratic and just need to do my own thing, which is kind of new-agey and pantheistic. It's not that I don't work or play well with others, but I need to decide for myself when I do a certain thing, and how I do it. However, I can really relate to Wicca, and I so appreciate its woman-centeredness and its essentially female identity. I love those aspects, among others.
I have several favorite writers. Barbara Hambly has been the biggest influence on how I describe magic. She's an incredibly imaginative and empathetic writer with a gift for creating a rich, sensual world. I love Barbara Pym, an English writer whose books came out mostly in the fifties. She was a master at describing the thousand tiny moments that make up a woman's day; how the seemingly small and inconsequential thing can suddenly take on a huge emotional importance. I greatly admire P.D. James. She's one of the very few writers who makes me actually look up words in the dictionary. She has a beautiful, precise, educated command of the language that leaves me in awe. I love Philip Larkin's poetry. I read a lot of nonfiction and also have some favorite romance writers. Before anyone groans, let me say that these women write really well about women trying to achieve emotional fulfillment, and that's kind of what we're all doing, right? I also just like reading about sex. Anyway, Jennifer Crusie, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and early Linda Howard are my faves.
And then of course there's my dark side, but more on that later.

Another great book in this series. I really have been enjoying them. They are short but just filled with quality stuff lol. I feel that this book really marks a huge change in Morgan's life. It started two books back. But this is the one where I feel things happened that will make the story from here on out different from what has been happening so far. Guess I'll find out.

The last book was intense! Morgan is mourning her love and relationship with Cal, who tried to burn her alive. She is starting to fear magic especially when she feels darkness looming. Practical Magick, her favorite shop is in danger of closing, and one of the blood witches owners, David, has been using dark magic to prevent that. She witnesses his trail and stripping of magical powers and it scares her, especially that who performs the penalty is none other than Huner the Seeker, who is now the leader of their circle and her teacher. But it seems Hunter is falling for Morgan so fast, I don't think she will catch him.

Changing original rating from 3 to 2 stars because Morgan deserves a prize for her idiocy.

Genelde çok nadir beni sinir etmeyen baş karakterler var. Morgan da onlardan biri. Kitabı sevdim. Umarım seri çevrilmeye devam eder.

I don't know what it is about this series that I'm addicted to. As far as the writing goes, it's not very complex. The voice of the author is easy to read, and the story itself is simple and somewhat predictable. Yet, at the same time, I can't stop reading them. It might have something to do with the main character, Morgan, who over the course of the last six books has become well developed. Like the story, she isn't overly complicated: typical teenager who doesn't know who she is and desperately wants a sense of belonging. Unlike typical teenagers however, she's a witch. I love how she's forced to balance her witch life with her family life, and how the author doesn't turn the dial too high up on the whole, Christians hate witches, bit. Sure, her parents don't approve of her new religion, however they do accept that that's who she is. At least by this book they basically have anyway. Also, Cal isn't such a big player in this book. He returns, sure, but he's not the central focus any longer, which in my opinion is a great thing. Personality aside, Cal wasn't a very well rounded character. He was very two dimensional, and in the first couple books I found myself constantly asking what it was Morgan saw in him. Cal was probably one of the major problems I had with the books in the beginning as well. Because there wasn't much depth to him, it was hard for me to get engaged in what happened to him, despite the fact that the protagonist cared for him so much. Now Hunter on the other hand, him I like. For one there's a lot more to Hunter and his character. From the very start we were given a true sense of him, unlike we were with Cal. Even when Morgan hated his guts I found myself secretly rooting for Hunter because I could actually picture him in my mind. All in all, I think I loved this book because by now, the main characters have all been fleshed out and given actual personalities, ones which I actually care about. That, and the basic story is still there of Morgan having to fight off this big bad evil power. That's always an interesting plus. :)

Omg! I totally love this series!! 😍 I remember the first time I found this series was at my high school and it was one of those book series that always adds something new and exciting to this world, layers upon layers! 📚🦉📚
I love the characters, both main and secondary characters who evolve over time and gain confidence within themselves and learn from their experiences and become empowered within themselves with the support of family and friends.
I'm still amazed that despite all these adversaries that Morgan and her friends go through, they still manage to keep their shit together, juggle school, keep their grades up, keep their families in the dark about what's really happening in Widow's Vale, and overall Morgan playing catchup with all her witchy know-how, I would be freaking out and yet it's just another day for them lol
I think Morgan's weakness is Diet Coke, you hide that, then there will be hell to pay! 🤣
There will be Spoilers below!
♥️🪷♥️I'll give this book a 5 star rating!!♥️🪷♥️

Oh my... you really can't guess what may happen next in this series because you are probably going to be wrong. My heart aches for Morgan, I can't image my high school self going through all of this. And her love for her sister Mary K reminds me so much of my sister and me; opposites at the core but bound together with a strong sister love.
"The sight of the huge, fierce wave, the purplish-black color of a bruise, sweeping over the gathered cirlce-feeling its icy wind snatching the souls and power of the witches, feeling its energy being fused into me, like lightening- well, I'm a changed woman, a changed witch".
And now a character is dead.. or maybe that's what I'm supposed to think? UGH, I need answers!

Like the song goes, "You ain't seen nothing yet"- the same goes for this series. After the previous volume Morgan has learned what the repercussions are for doing evil magic & that the punishment is far worse than anything that she could have imagined.
As the story progresses we see that someone is making a very rigorous attempt to kill Morgan & Hunter, and that someone is using non-magical means to do so! (Very clever since obviously they'd have detected magical interference.) With Selene still very much on the loose, neither Morgan nor Hunter truly know if it she's behind this or if there's a new evil moving into town.
I really love this series. I know, I know... I sound like a rabid fangirl, but it's true. The characters are realistically flawed & you really end up growing to like them- even the more abrasive ones of the group. The incredibly short length of each book really does work for this series- anything more than 160 pages at a time & I think the magic of the series just wouldn't work as well.

Een hele fijne jeugdserie over wicca. Tijdens het verhaal over liefde, zoektocht leer je veel over natuurlijk wijzen van leven. Leest heel vlot en is moeilijk weg te leggen. Na Harry Potter is dit de tweede serie die ik al verschillende malen heb gelezen.

Omg the ending!!! This one was so so good. My favorite so far ( I know, its the same thing i say with every book, but really!!) I wanna cry right now
December 28, 2010
This is by far one of my favorite series of books. The more I read about Morgan and her life the more it makes me want to read them. This book is probably my favorite by far because Hunter has always seemed better for Morgan than Cal was. Just knowing going into this book that he was going to be more of a major character peaked my interest.
You learn more about Morgans parents and how Maive and Angus died in this book. Also, the journal entries that begin each chapter are taken from Selene's journal, so you get to see how she developed into such a dark witch and more about Cal and Daniel Niall. So far this has been my favorite book in the series.
An addicting and must-read series for anyone interested in Wicca or witch/witchcraft fiction.

I think this will be the last I read of this series. Morgan just barely even realized her feelings for Hunter and then a few chapters later suddenly she's so in love with him?! I could forgive the insta love with Cal because he was evil and she had never had a boy interested in her before, but I can't get over it happening a second time. Morgan is so quick to throw around that she's so in love with these guys, but only 2 months have really passed between the first book and this one, and I really just can't stop being annoyed by this. Maybe I'll come back to this series some tie down the road, but I'm taking a break from it for a while. A very long while.

This was an okay read overall, but again, there were quite a few times where I felt bored.

Daha iyi karakterlerle daha güzel bir seri çıkabilirmiş aslında ama karakterler biraz zayıf kalmış.Altı kitap boyunca bahsedilen kötü karakterin sonu da bu kadar basit olmamalıydı ayrıca.

Fruition
A compelling telling of a witch's maturation kept me deep in the story. The layers are fun as more is revealed. I may come to think more if this one after the next book. I am not sure I loved Selene's final standoff in the last Chapter. I am sure there is more unsaid.

Plot
If one payed attention to Selene’s Book of Shadows entries, there is more hinting at a more concrete villain. Selene was just a small piece of the overall problem that was, surprisingly, taken care of very quickly. I don’t think the plot of Spellbound was done very well. Too much happened too fast, even for a witch like Morgan. And it was mostly drama anyways.
Writing
Spellbound’s writing wasn’t what I would call spectacular. The majority of the book is drama between Hunter and Morgan, even while there is a real and present danger lurking all around them. Tiernan choosing to focus on them made me question her priorities. Another thing that was not so good about the writing was the constant recaps. Almost everything that happened in the past book is recounted by Morgan. How many times to we have to hear that she’s adopted?!
Characters
Morgan has become a bit too much of a “perfect” character for my liking. No matter what ridiculous thing she does, she never suffers the consequences of her actions. She’s never punished for her repeated breaking of “Wiccan rules”. Constant dangerous actions are taken on her part and nothing bad ever happens. It’s just not realistic and the fact that she keeps doing these things irritates me.
Hunter feels like a kind of jerk to me. He lets his temper get out of hand where he lashes out at innocent people. But I feel like this is out of character for him just to create drama and force events of the plot to happen. I didn’t really care for him either way.
I would have liked to see more of Sky, though.
Things I Liked
I like that Selene is framed as only a small problem compared to the other members in her coven. She was basically just a small fry compared to them and that makes me interested in how strong they actually are. I’ve no doubt that Morgan will get some super, special power-up to defeat them, but I’m curious about the coven all the same.
Things I Didn't Like
I hate characters getting all of these power boosts without working hard for them. Morgan already had all of the magick potential going for her, and then she just gets forty years of witches’ knowledge in the span of a few hours. Talk about a Mary Sue character. Nobody likes characters who don’t have to work hard to get stronger/more experienced.
Another thing I didn’t care for was Tiernan trying to erase Morgan’s past weaknesses to make her seem stronger now. It is a fact that Morgan was very trusting to Cal and Selene. It is a fact that she didn’t notice anything going on with them until the evidence practically hit her in the head. And that’s alright, but Tiernan is framing Morgan know as someone who subconsciously knew, or noticed and didn’t think twice, about how strange things were with Cal and Selene. She didn’t know: this is fact. To ignore this and pretend that she knew all along but just denied it is to give Morgan a false air of strength.
Diversity
Nothing much, except some mentions of Sky and Raven.
Overall
I’m interested to see how Tiernan will handle Selene’s coven, but I’m sure she won’t handle it well. The coven interests me more than the actual fight against them, since it will probably end with Morgan and some newfound power will defeat all of these much more powerful and knowledgeable witches. Spellbound was alright. I didn’t really like it except for a small bit at the end.

Finished reading my first book in 2016!
This review is originally posted on my blog: http://imlovingbooks.blogspot.nl/2016...
Expectations
I don't know what it is about this series, but I enjoy reading them. They are fun, short reads I like to read when I want a break from reading bigger books.
Review
Sure,there are some things that aren't great, like the incredibly short timeframe all of the events take place. This is the sixth book and starting at the first book, only 3 of 4 months have passed!
I also really feel that this bookseries is especially enjoyable for the younger teenagers. I actually read the first couple of books when I was about 14 years old and I remember really loving them. Now I still enjoy them, but I'm aware of the flaws the series comes with.
I do have to say I like Morgan. She shows some of her own faws during the series and a non perfect protagonist is a nice change from others we read about. I also like most of the side characters in this series, like Robbie and Morgan's sister Mary K.
To be honest, I don't know if I'll read all the books in this series (there are 15 books?) I'll juist have to see with each book if I'll enjoy it enough to continue and to overlook the flaws.
Rating
Overall, it is a nice, fun and very fast read. I always fly through these books.

J’ai l’impression que l’histoire, déjà basique, s’essoufle de plus en plus. Ce que j’aimais le plus au début, c’était d’en apprendre sur la wicca. Les rites, les herbes, les pierres, etc. Mais plus on avance et plus on se concentre sur ce que les gens en font, leurs intentions. Oui, c’est bien, mais c’est souvent redondant. On nous rappelle sans cesse des informations inutiles (la potion de Robbie, le couple Eileen/Paula, l’adoption, l’amour de Cal, la dispute avec Bree) comme si on avait pas lu les livres d’avant ? Même en espaçant la lecture de chaque tome, ce n’est pas nécessaire de nous rabacher les oreilles avec les mêmes informations comme si on était dans les Feux de l’amour. Ça prend de la place inutilement et ça m’empêche de plonger complètement dans l’histoire de CE tome car on me rappelle sans cesse les événements des précédents.
C’est pourquoi j’ai de la difficulté à apprécier mes lectures. Certes, ce tome-ci était plus intéressant et palpitant que le 5ème, on a droit a des scènes de magyes intéressantes et fortes en intensité, en plus d’avoir un aperçu de la vie de Selene. C’est la raison de mon 3 bien généreux.
Je vais finir cette série, car elle est dans ma bibliothèque depuis plusieurs année. Mais je suis parfaitement consciente que je n’ai plus l’âge pour ce genre de récit adolescent où tout se déroule en quelques semaines et où la protagoniste manque de personnalité, compensé par un pouvoir exagéré pour lui donner de l’importance. Ah pis l’adulte en moi juge très grandement Morgan de 17 ans qui tombe in love de Cal, le pleure pendant 3 jours après leur relation de moins de 2 mois avant d’aller embrasser le frère de celui-ci et lui dire je t’aime quelques jours après. Urgh. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

It's a good thing that these books are short. Otherwise I'm not sure I would waste my time on them. Don't get me wrong they aren't bad but they just don't have a lot going on in them. I'm glad that Morgan in the end got to find out that Cal really had changed. At least she can have some peace about that. I'm worried about what is going to happen with Morgan and her family now that her little sister got involved in some of the stuff. I guess I will have to read the next book and find out.

Man muss ja fast schon schmunzeln über diese Wiederholungen in dem Buch.
Morgans Auto heißt das Boot? Ja warum denn?
Was Robbie hatte Akne? Was ist da denn bloß passiert?
Was war eigentlich Morgans Lieblingsgetränk dass sie auf jeder 5. Seite trinkt? Ich kann es mir nicht merken :D
Und trotz dieser ständigen Wiederholungen muss man dieses Buch lesen. Ich kann nicht erklären wieso ich das Buch so suchte.
Es macht einfach Spaß.

J'ai adorée le tome 6 . Surtout quand Hunter et Morgan se sont réunis pour combattre Selene. #magyque

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me!! 😁 favourite one in the series so far! Action packed and full of tension, and I especially loved the showdown at the end. Looking forward to reading book 7 next in this amazing series!
