I must warn you before you start this book, make sure you have both parts
if you purchase it in it's ominbus form! Half of this book is in the first
ominbus and the second half (you guessed it), is in the second. I had a hard time waiting about a week for the second book to read! It is really good book and shows what lengths Cassie will go to to protect her best friend and the boy she loves.

The Secret Circle: The Initiation by L.J. Smith is a great read! Smith reals
you in and leaves you wanting more! This is a story of summer love at first sight. As with most love stories there are complications that threaten to keep the two lovers apart. I would recommend this book even if you do
not believe in witchcraft.
