L.J Smith is one of my favorite YA authors. She proved it again with the Secret Circle series. I believe the VD are nothing compare to the SC.
Well, let me start with the final It had EVERYTHING: suspence, terror, romance (well I wanted dome more between Adam and Cassie:P), emotions... The writing was as always stimulating, the atmosphere magical and mythical. I felt like being in the Middle Times!
The characters were again amazing- so much emotions from Cassie and Adam, but I really fell for Nick, too!- Diana was sweet , caring and selfless, Faye as always dangerous but smart... I really enjoyed this book, I was gasping for some air while I was DEVOURING this book. You heard me...I DEVOURED IT!
The series are worth reading. It's like watching a freaking tv-serie! (No, I won't comment for the tv-series, there's NOTHING alike these books) It's definetely a MUST on your library!
Some drawbacks now: I think L.J Smith's books (VD and SC) are too YA for me. She targets in sixteen year-old. For example, I wanted more romance and more pages...:P LOL! Also, I'd love if she wrote more about their inner world.. It was just something I missed.
I vote for a new novel!!! Something more!! NOT from a ghost author, though! Finally, I believe Diana was too good... I don't know if I'd left my boyfriend (for years) to a new girl... :/
Overall, read this series!!!! Forget about the tv-series it's the product of the next book of a ghost author.
Just TAKE THE BOOKS and forget about th show!

Sky and sea, keep harm from me. Earth and Fire, bring my desire.
I seriously loved the spells! And that last fight with Black John. Well, it was supposed to be the last book but we all know what happened there...Still, I really love the whole eternities theme and just everything about it.

These books are like a walk back to my childhood. I love them so much. Do they stand the test of time, I think so - but I’m super biased, so probably not looking at them very clearly.
Also, Faye has a beeper in this book, which was a serious flashback

Tajný kruh jsem si prostě zamilovala. Vím, že to ve kritice schytává ale mě to prostěokouzlilo... Kam se na to hrabou upíří deníky... Miluju Cassie, Adam je fajn a Nick je k sežrání :))) Už aby byla 4.

This trilogy is the real deal. Love the story and the characters. A fast paced read that’s easy to lose yourself in and characters that will stay with you. If you like magic and YA, you should give this classic a go.

Right, so, this one was always the favorite book of this trilogy before. That's one of the sad parts about rereading childhood favorites... those Awesome-Amazing-MindBlown! parts lose their charm, somehow. In this case, I have gotten too educated to be able to fully buy into the ending. That, and I finally realized that Smith really did a crap job on writing this ending. It's always seemed a bit fast paced before, but this time it was really gone in the blink of an eye.
No wonder they changed the whole TV series around to match some other tale. This ending 1. made not much logical sense 2. was over much too fast and 3. was entirely cliche perfect. While those things were easy to absorb when I was a kid, it's not so much the case anymore.
Anyway! Moving on from the disappointment, it was fun to reread this whole series again! It will always be in my past as a growing up/life altering series, since it really did affect me much in those formative years. But now it's time to move on to greener pastures and expand my horizons! (You see, cliche's have stuck with me!)
