2017- This marks my 4th time reading this book. For the new reader I must emphasize that these books mature as you read. They start off seeming like cheesy teenage fiction on a cringe worthy level, but they evolve into a truly grand, wonderful and epic story of the coming of age, and the realization of remarkable heritage.
A plain unassuming wallflower finds she is anything but ordinary. In fact, she is extraordinary! As she follows a path seeming destined, her heart follows that of one she thinks beyond its reach. Lying within this likewise unassuming YA novel is a true gem, wrought with heartache and heartbreak. Will a straining friendship collapse amid the pressure of it all, leaving a bitterness in its wake. For Morgan Rowlands, she must suffer trials of family and friend alike to reach a crossroads long destined for and to choose a path which seems contrary to her upbringing.
Ignore the awful reviews. This series is a gem among the vast heaps of horrid YA novels out there. Once you've devoured book one, and begun the second, there'll be no stopping you!!

Ok somewhat Juvenile but not worthy of YaYa. But I can see the addiction/draw to go forward with the rest of the 15 other books in the series. Love good Witchy-poo stories. But this is where I’m getting off.

I loved how much this actually tried to teach about Wicca. We got to learn alongside Morgan about the history, culture, practices and such for the lore in this world. That part was all lovely, the BS love triangle was annoying and unnecessary. Basically anytime the characters interacted with each other it was a bit lackluster.

3.5-4 stars.
I felt like nothing happened but at the same time I felt like I had to continue reading the book. It was really short, only 100ish pages so to me it didn't really feel like much of a book - which is probably why there are so many books in this series because they're all so short.
I may continue reading the series or I may not. The book was interesting and has piqued my attention, but I'm not sure if it's enough to warrant the continuation of me reading the series when I already have so much to read!
