Magic-sensitive Maeve wants to save the innocent from a dangerous cult. But how much can she delve into darkness without becoming what she fears? The exciting conclusion to the Gifts series.Big things are happening for Maeve and her tight-knit coven in Kilbeg, Ireland. Fiona lands a role on a TV show, Roe’s band is poised to hit the big leagues, and Lily is embracing a new style and outlook. Then there’s Maeve, whose magic is growing stronger all the time. Yet she finds herself increasingly lashing out, doing and saying cruel things without knowing why. When her recurring dreams begin to involve her physically manifesting in other places, including enemy-turned-maybe-friend Aaron’s bedroom, Maeve realizes the power she wields might not be entirely under her control. She tries to keep her struggle a secret, even if it means pushing her friends away. But when she learns the religious cult the Children of Brigid is kidnapping and torturing vulnerable teenagers, Maeve realizes the only way to free their prisoners is to risk letting an older magic consume her. This enthralling story of friendship and identity is also a story of being at a crossroads between youth and adulthood and picking your path forward.

"Fantastic. I will say there was a common trope thrown in the series I was mildy annoyed by, however it is fantastically explained.
Characters are rounded out beautifully, and I was more than satisfied with the ending. Although sad to see the series end.
I would love a tarot deck, though. (Please see this Caroline O'Donoghue - I'd totally buy one)
Interestingly I ran into a mindset problem. I have no issue with They/Them. It did take a third of the book for my mind to stop processing the term 'they' or 'them' as plural, though. I never thought my early grammatical education would cause confusion, but my mind wrapped around it. "
"Hey can somebody tell me if this book has another spicy scene in it? If so what pages and can i skip it without loosing context? I know there was one in the last book and id rather not read another. Thank you🙌"
