mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

These are great short Audio reads...

The Storyline is good! The characters.... Apart from Cassie Faye Diana Adam Deborah, Susan the twins and Nick just seem like a blob too me..... Its book 3 the Author has written a circle of 12... I thought they could Have ben a little more Hacked out by now....

Cassie whines alot and sticks to Diana's bum like chewing Gum... But other than that the characters a likeable enough

A good way to end the first part of Casey and the cover tale.
I really enjoyed this book.
It has it all, shocking discoveries, vengeance, revelation, and the friendship above all the dark!

Reading the first 3 books is compensated with a good story of friends, growing, love, and magic.

De los tres libros, este es el que más me ha gustado. La historia no tiene mucho que ver con la serie que hicieron, aunque si que se puede ver algunas de las cosas en las que se inspiraron. yo personalmente prefería la serie y es una pena que la cancelaran.

Puede que más adelante me lea los tres siguientes, a pesar de que estén escritos por otra autora diferente.

2023: A favorite comfort read

Well, I finished the last book at lunch yesterday. I love all of the twists and turns in this book. I remember the first time I read it I was so suprised by what happened. I think this one read the fastest for me. There are no breaking points in the mystery or the action, so it is hard to put down.

Read it again....September 2016...a little cheesy...a little underdeveloped...but still a favorite. :)

This last book of the trilogy is about how the Circle, despite their biggest flaws, unite against a greater enemy and discover that even though they think they are weak, they come up stronger at the end.

I've got to say I'm so proud about the end of this trilogy, I mean I'm really sad it ended (I know that there's another author who continued the series, but I don't know if I'll read it) but at the same time it was just perfect.

Each character grew up to be a wonderful human being and they embraced each other completly. We see that page by page, chapter by chapter; but mostly we see it when Faye makes the final choice and it's not what we expected and maybe not for the reasons that we expected.

If you're reading the first book and you think it sucks, keep reading because it gets better! I'm so dissapointed that the series only got one season and we don't have such a big fanbase with good quality fanfics; but I know that there are a lot of people fighting to get the season two on tv.

I totally do not regret reading this series, and I hope L. J. Smith considers making a Nick spin-off (kinda like Adrian's Bloodlines).

I am glad I stuck it out with this series. That was a great ending!

I almost cried...I don't think it gets any better than that.

I'm devastated that this is the end but at least I've got the TV show to give me my fix and in a few months, once I've got through a few more books, I might come back and read the whole series over again. Brilliant. I am officially in love with these books and I don't say that very often.
