The Secret Circle: The Initiation and the Captive Part I TV Tie-In Edition by L.J. Smith

2.0

The television show was amazing, so I thought the books would be also. I was wrong. Not only are the books completely different but they are rather terribly written. ALTHOUGH after watching the show I think it makes it easier to read the books because you can make connections every now and then. I was also able to visualize the characters, rather than read the much more average version of the characters in the book. Admittedly the further I got into the book the more I enjoyed it, but I don't think I would re-read this book nor would I be too excited to read another book by this author. I am continuing to finish this series purely because I want the secret circle story to conclude, which the show unfortunately didn't get to do :/
