Strife (More Sweep!)(#9)

I read this book in like one day. 188 pages, all good. The one thing I usually like about the books in the Sweep series by Cate Tiernan is that she ties up all the loose ends at the end of every book, usually. This book, there was one gaping loophole, and the author didn't even hint at solving it in the next book. That was a bit disappointing, but oh well, not every book can be perfect.
Anyway, in Strife, Morgan finds herself in the center of strange happenings yet again. She's back together with Hunter, but weird things seem to be going on around her. Like when she was in a Kithic (her coven's name) circle at Hunter's house, books started flying off the shelves around the room, and a shelf fell over at the library. And then when Erin and Morgan are doing their own circle in Morgan's room Morgan levitates! The common factor in all these occurences were Morgan and also Mary K.'s (Morgan's sister's) friend Alisa. Wait, new characters... Must introduce.
Alisa was always one of the minor characters in the Kithic circle. Now we're reading her Book of Shadows entries at the beginning of each chapter and we find out she doesn't like Morgan much-- Morgan's power makes her feel uncomfortable and she wants to leave Kithic because of Morgan. We also meet Erin, a defensive magick specialist from Scotland (whos' actually Irish. Confusing, huh?) who is supposed to help Morgan learn to protect herself from her evi father Ciaran. Both of these women were always around when weird things started happening around Morgan, so either one of them could be causing it too. My bet's on Alisa.
We also see some conflict with Morgan and her adopted parents. They really don't understand her ties with Wicca and they're worried because her grades are dropping. So what do they do? They try to get her into CATHOLIC SCHOOL. They change their minds at the last minute though because they see how hard Morgan's trying to pull up her grades.
This is how deep into the book I got, though: I had a dream MY parents were making ME go to Catholic school on top of my public high school and I was failing miserably. Sound familiar?
Lke I said, the one thing that diappointed me about this book was that we never saw who was causing the supernatural action around Morgan. Now I gotta read #10 to find out.
