A parent should reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with the complex reality of a long absent parent returning to their life. While this is the tenth book in the Sweep series, it serves as a powerful standalone exploration of the intuition we feel when a loved one is keeping secrets. The story follows Hunter, who is overjoyed by his father's return, and Morgan, who must navigate the delicate balance of supporting her boyfriend while trusting her gut that something is deeply wrong. This urban fantasy uses magic as a metaphor for personal power and intuition, making it an excellent choice for adolescents dealing with family secrets, trust issues, or the fear of being let down by those they love. It deals with mature emotional themes in a way that validates a teen's skepticism and their need for safety, providing a safe space to discuss the difference between biological loyalty and healthy relationships.
