Book number 7 "The Pool of Two Moons" by Kate Forsyth
That's right folks, it's a series, of the fantastical variety. So let me get you up to speed. It's set in a land called Eileanan, which is is essentially a fantasy version of Scotland - they all talk is sotticsh accents - it's pretty cool.
The the first book (mentioned was earlier in Euan's blog) introduced us to Isabeau and her guardian. Basically, the Coven of Witches has all but been destroyed by an evil woman called Maya, who ensorcelled the Righ of Eilenan.
This instalment tells us all about the war that's happening - the witches trying to get back their land and the true Righ (a guy with WINGS) tries to get back his throne. Also, isabeau gets pretty shafted in this one.

This one's worth 3.5 cranky witches

Book number 8 "The Cursed Towers" by Kate Forsyth
And continuing on our journey, Maya has buggered off and the witches are coming back, but then of course they find a bunch of new enemies to fight, including crazy and cranky sea faery's called the Fairgean. Isabeau finds some new rellies and realises she's actually from a very powerful witching family -there are also a bunch of other cool witches that turn up and make storms, heal people with the laying of hands etc.

4 Scottish witches

Book 9 "The Forbidden Land" by Kate Forsyth
So this one leaves the adventures of Isabeau and concentrates on one of hte new funkiy lil witches called Finn the Cat, who's Talent is to find stuff....seriously. So we follow them to a different land, to save a prophet and bunch of others to help in the wars to come that Eileanan will have to deal with. The story is a bit more removed from the others, but very good reading. :o)

4.5 elven cats.

So, that's where I'm up to, I'm kinda impressed I'm getting any reading done at the moment - yay me!
