it was just okay

it was okay, but i didn’t find the book was anything special. i couldn’t really get into it. you might end up loving it, but i just couldn’t get into the storyline too well

CHILLING!

Book two began exactly where the first left off! Cassie was part of the Circle. Faye was blackmailing Cassie to help her become the Coven's leader when the votes were next cast. Cassie, torn between what she felt for Adam and her loyalty toward Diana, would do almost anything to keep Faye from twisting truths into believable lies!Meanwhile, more dark energy escapes from the crystal skull and more kids are found dead from the high school. Cassie will lose a loved one, find her working stone, learn some shocking family secrets, and her grandmother will reveal who Black John is and where he is now!Lastly, all secrets of all the Coven members are about to be revealed!***** This one is not as gripping as the first was, but still exciting! (Cassie is finally getting a back bone!) I am left eager to dive into the third book! Thank goodness I purchased all three books of this trilogy at once! Terrific series! *****

The publisher needs to reprint this one!

I couldn't put it down! I set my record-I finished the book faster than any other! I'm just in agony that I won't know the ending til they reprint the third! I have 1 & 2, and will get 3 ASAP; you gotta read this, what in the world are you thinking if you say no to it?!!!!

I love it!!!

I love all L. J. Smith books. I believe she is a very talented writer and hope that she'll continue coming up with all these brilliant sttories. I own all of the Night World Books and I have read everything she has written. But I especially love the Secret Circle. Its, by far, the best I've read. I just hope they reprint the whole set.

continue...

I love all the 11 books I have read of her's she is an excellent writer and I love the Vampire Diaries Series. All her books have made me cry.I have even wanted to re-read them because they are so wonderful. I have never wanted to re-read a book before because i always thought it would be boring. This was way different and she is an excellent writer. I thank her for choosing to pursue her writing career because she is making alot of people happy by reading her books!
