Product Description
Candra Bowen has been living a lie. All her life she's been an outsider, but now she finally has everything she's wanted. She's been posing as her twin sister Megan McKenna - while Megan lies comatose under a spell summoned from the depths of hell. But black magic can have deadly consequences, and Candra is about to learn that her dalliance with the dark arts has awakened something sinister - something that wants both women - and will stop at nothing to possess them...

A fabulous book!!,
By "poisonivy9981" (Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Possession (Paperback)
This book was so good it was hard to put down!! It was well written and had an unusual subject matter......kind of like a supernatural mystery. I definitely recommend that you read the companion novel, Obsession first, so that you'll have a better grasp of what's going on and the necessary backround information on the characters. This is now one of my favorite authors!!

Seven Years to Sequel,
By Bruce Rux (Aurora, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Possession (Paperback)
The history of this book must be more interesting than the book, itself. Possession is actually the second half of a single novel, that begins with Obsession. Obsession, as the copyright page shows, was first published in 1996. Possession, according to its copyright page, was first published this month (December 2003). Since Obsession ends, not even with a cliffhanger, but simply an abrupt break in the middle of its story's action and plot - and nowhere indicates that a sequel is coming - reading it can only have been a baffling experience, at best, to those who first discovered it on its original publication. It appears - and, frankly, reads - as if the author waited seven years, before coming up with the conclusion to her own two-part story.The first book, Obsession, actually reads better, and has good structure, plot timing, and suspense. Morgan immediately throws too many similar characters at the reader to cleanly delineate, which is a bit of a problem, but surmountable. The characters are likeable and credible, with even the principal villain sympathetically drawn. Unfortunately, out of the blue, the book simply ends after about 335 pp, with nothing resolved and the action in full swing, and not even a publisher's blurb like "Watch for Part II Next Month!" There's an ad on the inside front cover for Morgan's Possession, but it doesn't indicate it as a sequel to the book the reader holds in his hands. Possession, after Obsession's pretty rip-roaring and engaging start, is lame, tame, and terribly contrived. Too many plot improbabilities are thrown at the reader, and in too short a time, to be believed. The characters begin acting as inconsistently as those in soap-operas. The ending is rushed into a mere handful of pages, after literally an entire novel's worth of severely padded chapters so redundant that they can be flipped through in minutes without missing anything of substance. Ultimately, buying into either book is simply a waste of time, a marketing ploy intended to sell more copies, at the expense of any potential product of worth. This "serial novel" game, an insulting trick from its inception - and continuation, involving many talented authors who should be ashamed of themselves, Stephen King, John Saul, Robert R. McCammon and Tamara Thorne among them - is trash at its worst, even when the finished product is worth the time and effort, which Obsession and Possession aren't. I do have to say that Morgan does have a talent for establishing a plot and composing sympathetic characters, which I hope manifests itself in future in novels of greater note than this one - er, two - I mean...oh, forget it.

Make sure you buy both books,
By S. Reisner "Author of The Sorcerers' Twilight... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Possession (Paperback)
I actually picked this book up at used bookstore having no idea it was the second in the series. It can stand alone, but you really do need the first book to get the full impact of the second. This book was a bit slow to start (or maybe it just took me that long to catch up), but the last 100 pages is where the story got really good. SPOILER COMING: The idea that there were triplets was a tiny bit baffling (maybe even a bit unbelievable) but she made it work. Overall it was a fun book - though I really feel no need to read the first book now. I think it would have been better, and I would have likely given it a higer rating had I read both books consecutively.
