The Secret Circle

The Secret Circle by L.J. Smith

I would give this 3 out of 5 stars.

Forced to leave her home is California, Cassie finds herself in a new town meeting her grandmother for the first time.  She feels a strange bond to a terrifying group of teens who seem to rule her new 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.


I genuinely enjoyed this book.  I am glad for a change of species since mainly I have been reading about vampires.  I am watching the TV series to this book series which is quite interesting.  Some parts of this book are cheesy and predictable, but what books aren't these days?  I really like L.J. Smith her books are so captivating and once I start reading, it is hard to put it down. 


I would say this is for middle school and up.  I would also say this is PG.
