The series is about a circle of witches who originate from the original witches of Salem. The series follows a newcomer to the circle, Cassie, who before moving to the small town had no idea of her lineage or the powers she possessed. It follows her and her circle through the up and downs (mostly downs) of being teenage witches and the challenges they must face.
Not only is this a sci fi series but it also has romance for those who like a little love story (my personal favorite). Overall, it is a very good read that I would recommend to anyone who loves a little action and romance.
I am going to be honest. The only reason I began reading this series was because I am a big fan of the new show they are based from on the CW, The Secret Circle. I will say that the show and the book are very different though. In some aspects they are the same but in some they are very different. But I like the changes that were made when they created the show which is surprising because I usually like the book version better. Just because I like the changes that were made, it doesn't really take anything away from the book series and how much I like it. In fact, some things about the show I hate and wish they hadn't changed. Like the way they killed off a main character in the show who was a major character in the books (and didn't die!). Then again, it works out because they introduced a new character (never in the books) to the show who I LOVE. So I'm a little torn on some of the changes. Either way, they are both two separate pieces of work that I enjoy!
I am very happy that I decided to read the series because it is very good and I was not able to set it down. I read both books in 3 days. I can't wait for the release of the new book in the series. As soon as I have read it, I will let you all know what I thought of it! I have high expectations based on these two so hopefully it lives up to that!
