OBS BOOK CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT FOR AUGUST 2010: BOOK OF SHADOWS BY CATE TIERNAN

Starting August 1st Open Book Society will cross over into the world of Wicca with Book of Shadows, the first book in the Sweep Series, by Cate Tiernan.

Morgan Rowlands is a high school student living in Widow’s Vale. Overall, Morgan is an ordinary girl that lives an ordinary lifestyle. Her life becomes unsettled upon meeting Cal Blaire. With his perfect nose, olive skin, and gold-colored eyes he quickly becomes the center of admiration of all the girls in school, this including Morgan and her best friend, Bree Warren. Having an air of charisma and good looks, Cal is able to gain enough popularity that he is able to gather people from his new school for a party.

At the gathering he reveals his Wiccan origins by inviting his peers to join him in a circle to celebrate Mabon, one of the Wiccan sabbats. Feelings of surprise and discomfort cause many to leave while others including Morgan and Bree stay for the circle. Morgan from then on shows a knack for Wicca, which sparks Cal’s interest. By Cal openly showing interest in Morgan, he ends up creating a rift between her and Bree. At the last circle, Cal forms a coven with the group naming it Cirrus. At this circle, Morgan discovers that she is a blood witch, which helps to spark something between her and Cal.

So it’s time to dust off your copy or get a fresh copy quick, so you can be a part of the discussions, OBS Speak Out, and Chapter Breakdowns of this fascinating series!
