Even so, she feels a strange kinship to a terrifying group of teens who seem to rule her school. Initiated into the coven of witches that's controlled New Salem for hundreds of years, she's drawn into the Secret Circle, a thrill that's both intoxicating and deadly. But when she falls for the mysterious and intriguing Adam, Cassie must choose whether to resist temptation or risk dark forces to get what she wants—even if it means that one wrong move could ultimately destroy her. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Courtesy of Teens Read TooL. J. Smith exceeds herself with the reissue of THE SECRET CIRCLE. Though some of her older books, especially THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, are a delight to read, THE SECRET CIRCLE is leagues ahead in not only writing skill but in plot and characterization, as well. The main character, Cassie (who coincidentally shares a first name with this reviewer), is likeable and easy to relate to as a plain, shy, sixteen-year-old girl. After moving to New Salem to live with ... Read More Rating: - Fantastic look into a mystical worldI read this series when it first came out in paperback and I got it because I had previously read the Vampire Diaries series and had to see everything I could get my hands on by L.J. Smith. This is a wonderful series about Cassie and how she get involved, at first unknowingly, into a mystical witches' coven. Ms. Smith writes wonderfully intense - the characters really jump out and grab you and keep you throughout the whole story - you can't wait for the next book to begin....and you are entertained ... Read More Rating:  - Captivating, but . . .This is a very captivating and entertaining book. I read a lot of urban fantasy books and was turned onto this author, believe it or not, through my niece. Because of her insistence, I have recently read some of her teen paranormal books and have quite enjoyed them. I first read the Vampire Diaries and then bought this book and will give it to my niece. It held my interest so much that I absolutely did not want to put down the book until I was finished. My one problem (big one) with ... Read More Rating: - Epic WinAh, The Secret Circle. Quite simply, I adore these books. I'm absolutely thrilled that they're being re-released, as my old copies are now quite creased and have started to fall apart. I finally get to replace them! Though I'll never throw the originals away, mostly because I would feel like that was sacrilege, but also because I don't like these new covers nearly as much as the old ones. Yes, these books are THAT good. I first read them as a young teenager, because my sister and I were both ... Read More Rating: - Excellent, Amazing, Great, Awesome, and other adjectives . . . I have read much of L.J. Smith's work. Alright all of it. And ALL of her work is very well done, The Secret Circle Trilogy being no exception. Smith is great at hooking the reader right off the bat with the appearance of a mysterious stranger on a beach. Cassie Blake, the central character, is a shy girl at first and totally relatable and down to earth. The antagonists are really awful, and "hateable". The plotline is in NO way predictable and flows wonderfully, with a constant build and hardly ... Read More |
