Morganna Cork has lived twenty-four uneventful years in Los Angeles under the thumb of her overbearing mother. The only thing barring her from a totally average existence is that she's got a secret, magical ability to heal herself and others. An encounter with her mother results in exile to the small coastal town of Puesta del Sol. There, she will be a guest and employee at the Cliffside Inn, owned by her estranged cousin Maeve. Morganna resigns herself to a winter of work and boredom in this one-horse town.

Everything changes when she accidentally pulls into the driveway of the devastatingly sexy Callupo Stone. Instantly she is attracted to the infuriating man who makes no bones about his lack of interest, even if he seems to be right behind her at every turn. The sparks fly as she does her best to thwart his every attempt to corral her.


She soon discovers that she’s not the only one with gifts. There is an entire community of people known as Magicks, each unique and powerful in their own right.


As Morganna undertakes a journey of self-discovery and determination, she befriends Anya, the spunky, sassy, sometimes employee of the Cliffside and bearer of town gossip. Together, they begin to unearth the mysteries surrounding the strange reappearance of a vindictive villain, on a quest for power, in which Morganna finds herself directly in the middle. Simultaneously, they witness the succession struggles of a secret society, in which Callupo and many of their close friends are members, whose existence and purpose eludes them.


Morganna undergoes a radical transformation of self as she becomes an unsuspecting participant in a Magickal war that has been thirty years in the making

Morganna is not your typical woman. She has the ability to heal injuries. She thought she was the only one with "special powers" but when she arrives in Puesta del Sol, she discovers there's a secret group of people in the community known as Magicks. At the Cliffside Inn her cousin Maeve owns, Morganna learns more about her ancestors and the mysterious necklace her cousin gave her. A war will soon begin when someone from the past returns to town searching for something Morganna has.


Morganna is the type of character you just love.  As the story unfolds, we witness her personal growth. Like every good paranormal book, there's always a bit of romance going on.  The first person Morganna meets in Puesta del Sol is Callupo.  From their first "accidental" meeting, it's very obvious he doesn't like her. Later on, they realize they're attracted to each other and Morganna learns he has a special "larger than life" power of his own that I didn't expect.


To the Cliffside takes you on a thrilling and magical journey.  It's an exciting tale filled with magic, mystery and love. You are easily hooked from the first few pages and if you're like me, you'll never want it to end.  There's still a lot we don't know yet and the book leaves you begging for more. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. 


To the Cliffside is a must-read!
