The Power by L.J. Smith

4.0

As a series, the Secret Circle books are lacking in some areas. While the books take place over a couple of months it moves slowly and then very fast. The characters, or at least some of them, develop but there are relationships that move very fast, way too fast for some of them (namely Cassie and Adam). The ending of this novel also moved way too fast. I wanted the book to be longer so that there was more of a pay off at the end. I liked how Cassie stepped up at the end but I wanted to see more of a journey to get there. I also wanted Cassie and Adam to have a more natural relationship (some good awkward I'm falling for you moments in stead of love at first sight/we are meant to be together moments.). All in all, I did like the series, although I think that may be more out of loyalty to when I read it in my youth.
