About this ebook
A seemingly average teenager discovers her true capabilities in the first book of the Sweep series, a thrilling coming-of-age saga full of “magick,” budding romance, and self-discovery.
“Engaging, even cinematic . . . delectably dark . . . brings a supernatural spin to classic teen issues.”—Publishers Weekly
Years from now I’ll look back and remember today as the day I met him.
Morgan Rowlands never thought she was anything other than a typical sixteen-year-old girl. Besides, compared to her beautiful best friend Bree, she knows where she stands in the social ranking. That is, until she meets Cal, a new student who’s moved to their small town of Widow’s Vale. Suddenly, Morgan finds herself drawn to him in a mysterious way—and even more confusing, Cal seems to sense the connection between them, too.
One evening, Cal throws a party, where he introduces the crowd to Wicca. Feeling drawn to this new religion, Morgan feels a sense of power erupt inside of her. But with her feelings for Cal growing stronger, and Bree’s intentions to date him instead, how will Morgan be able to confront her spiritual and romantic awakening?

I loved almost every second of it. Not only was the story intriguing, but the information on Wicca and witchcraft is something I really appreciated. I liked being told what they actually were instead of having to Google every little thing. I also could vividly imagine everything, especially what the main character experienced as she came into herself. Magickal indeed.

I remember picking this up at the library one summer when I was only 10, and I loved it. A decade later I remembered the name of it and ironically a month later it was rereleased three books to a volume so I started reading them again. This is a great series, the best on witchcraft I've ever read. I hope one day that there will be a TV adaptation or the author will write a sequel series, this is much better than The Secret Circle, by L. J. Smith.

I love this series. I first saw it in the library and it wasn't individual books but in a set of three. Couldn't put it down. Every chance I get I end up reading it over and over again
