* CanonSue: Alisa Soto is often accused of being one, due to her unique origin and powers, and the fact that she gets her own book to narrate (most of the books are from Morgan's POV, and occasionally Hunter's). Morgan Rowlands is another example, being able to do things that normally takes years to learn.

to:

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Ciaran is Morgan's real birth father.]] A distant version is seen later, with Origins with hints in that book and the reveal in the following book, Eclipse. Sort of. [[spoiler:It was Morgan learning her descent from the creator of the dark wave and later, the truth about Alisa's dead mother.]]


Added DiffLines:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The author left the company that suggested the idea and therefore could not continue the series. She intended to write further on Moira's era but did not own the rights.

Pettanko is a fanspeak term and useful note - it shouldn\'t be used as a trope. A Cup Angst is the correct trope here.

* InstantExpert: There is a process called "tath meanma brach" which allows two witches to "mind-meld" together, thus transposing her to the other. Morgan does this with Alyce, thus attaining years worth of knowledge and experience in a single evening. How convenient.

* BetaCouple: Matt and Jenna (temporarily), Sharon and Ethan, Robbie and Bree.



* OlderThanTheyLook: Selene



* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The installment narrated by Alisa Soto has absolutely nothing to do with anything else in the rest of the series, making it the only book you could skip without losing anything vital in the overall reading experience.



* Raised Catholic: Morgan's sister and parents are against Morgan being a witch due to it conflicting with Catholic teachings. However they blissfully ignore the teachings on homosexuality when it comes to Mary Grace Rowland's sister Margaret. Semi-subverted in that the Rowland's family (Minus Morgan) are otherwise devout.

The series uses {{Wicca}} as a springboard for its own internal mythology, but Tiernan has acknowledged over and over the real-life distinctions between the two, so it isn't quite YouFailReligiousStudiesForever.
