Recommended to Parents who can�t get their daughters to read Recommended to Parents who can't get their daughters to read. I purchased the Sweep series for my 13 year old daughter in the hopes that maybe she would read. "She hated to read." Well I was amazed, and could not get her to go to sleep, as she would spend the whole night, with a night-light on reading these books. She enjoyed them so much, and could not stop talking first about Cal and then Hunter, that I had to see what all the fuss was about. Well after two weeks, a book a day, for a girl who hated to read, it sparked my curiosity, so I started reading, and was surprised to find out how enjoyable a Teen book about Teen Witches could be. I am not really into Wicca, but these books are really enjoyable. I am on my fifth book, and my daughter read each twice, and is know on the Circle of Three Series. I have to highly recommend these books to those parents who can not get their daughters to read. These are excellent stories, full of fantasy, horror, and fun.
Such a great addition to the series! This was definitely one of the best books yet. I think it is great that Cate lets Alisa share the limelight with Morgan and it's very refreshing to hear everything through her POV for a change, we need a break of Morgan and Hunter. I thought that the whole story was really sweet and the story between her and Charlie was great! You fall in love was Charlie as she does! What a shame they live so far apart! I would easily and quickly give this book 5 stars and 10 out of 10 because it is alot lighter than most of the books in the series and this makes it stand out because it is so refreshingly different from the rest.
Now it's Alisa's Turn Alisa now knows that she is a witch, that she has telekinetic powers, and that she has other family, including an uncle, that she never knew about. When things at home get too tense with her stepmother-to-be, Alisa runs away to visit her newly discovered family.
Things become weird almost from the start. Her uncle is friendly, her grandmother seems surly, and Alisa seems to be falling for her cousin's boyfriend. To top it of, a family ghost seems to be becoming far more active and dangerous.
Alisa must show courage and strength in order to deal with her new family, her old family, her new powers, and the secrets behind the ghost.
A wonderful story which stands apart from the Morgan/Hunter main storyline, but one that ultimately leaves the reader wanting an extra chapter. As the story reaches its conclusion, we don't find out how things really turn out. We suspect how they do, but the book and the series conclude without any more information. Maybe there will be another Super Edition that will finish things up (or maybe a spin-off series?)
Anyway, a fine book about courage, strength and self-discovery.
Different spin which made it very good!! Recokoning felt like I was reading a totally new book. Seeing the book through someone else that has not been in the book very long was very good. Also getting away to another town and being introduced to new, and interesting people was also great. The relationshoip between her and Charlie was exciting. This book did deserve the highest rating and if the starts went higher i would take it up more.
A New Way of Looking at Things Althoug this is definately NOT my favorite book out of the series, I thought it was pretty good. This book, which is told through the eyes of Alisa, is basically about Alisa trying to find out her heritage and about her powers, just like Morgan. However, while she is there, she discovers that it might not have been such a good idea. First of all, her grandmother is hostile, she almost gets killed...well hurt, and she finds that her heritage may not be as good as expected. The only good thing about her visit is Charlie...but you'll have to read the book to see why.
