Product Description
Alisa is half blood witch and is desperate to find out more about her witch ancestry so she runs away to find her late mother's witch family. From the moment she arrives, terrifying events envelop the entire family and Alisa herself appears to become the target of her ancestor's ghost. But there is no ghost. Alisa's striking resemblance to her mother is so distressing to her grandmother Evelyn, that it triggers dormant telekinetic powers in Evelyn which are responsible for causing the havoc. The revelation reconciles Alisa to her estranged family and to her own powers as a witch. Now she is ready to go home.

4 out of 5 stars Now it's Alisa's Turn   October 27, 2003
 5 out of 7 found this review helpful

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.


2 out of 5 stars not one of the best in the series   September 2, 2002
 2 out of 9 found this review helpful

well first of all this is a sorry book because the book description has nothing 2 do with the plot of this book. this book centers around alisa who just discovered that she's a half blood witch and founded that her mom was one also. so she travels to where her mom used to live bcuz of the problems she is having at home with her stepmom and dad. this book centers around how alisa meets her mom's family and stays with her uncle while visiting her mom's family. she is having a hard time controlling her telekinesis and was told she was born with it. well i thought this was one of the worst books in the sweep series cuz its starts out REALLY SLOW AND BORING. there's barely any interesting plots and i thought the plots were boring. this book is a snoozer and i recommend that u should wait til full circle comes out i hope it be better than this book. this is not a good book at all. i give it just 3 stars for lack of good plots and the book startin really slow.

i thoought this was a good book. It wasn't the best in the series but it was still good. It has just about no center on Morgan but on Alissa. She travels to her mothers hometown to discover her family. Her trip is hindered by the fact that she didn't get permission to go and by the fact that everyone in her family believes she doesn't have in magic. I'd definitly reccomend it.

3 out of 5 stars Another good book from the series...   September 16, 2002

I thought this was a good book. ... I thought it was really interesting.It starts on how Alisa doesn't like her future stepmother and her uncontrollable telekenisis. She decides she wants to find out more of her mother's family(since they are witches.)She discovers new things about her family and she sorta finds peace after what she finds.Also a man enters her life,Charlie.
