Narrated by: Devon Sorvari

The Circle's power
has lured her home. . . .

Forced to move from sunny California to gloomy New England, Cassie longs for her old life. Even so, she feels a strange kinship to a terrifying group of teens who seem to rule her school. Initiated into the coven of witches that’s controlled New Salem for hundreds of years, she’s drawn into the Secret Circle, a thrill that’s both intoxicating and deadly. But when she falls for the mysterious and intriguing Adam, Cassie must choose whether to resist temptation or risk dark forces to get what she wants—even if it means that one wrong move could ultimately destroy her.

Not what I expected

I decided to listed to theses books because the show was cancelled. I quickly realized the stories are completely different. Even basing the book just on its own its not that great as the reviews claimed. I feel that the show had a better story line.

Wonderful story

The biggest disappointment in this story is that it has a non+ending in order to lead into the next book in the series. other than that, it's a fantastic read!!

I loved this book. the narrator was right on point

It started out kind of slow but got pretty good very quickly. It is a fantasy, drama, love spell all cast into one book.

So different to the tv show

What did you like best about The Secret Circle, Volume I: The Initiation? What did you like least?

I wanted to read this because the show ended so abruptly, I had no idea how different the book is compared to the show. Finding out there are 12 members of the circle and Faye is not the worse or most bitchy member/ Cassie's strong feelings of sisterhood and friendship for Diane was an eye opener.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Not much really, it would have been nice for there to be more spells in the first book. I think the book could have gone on a bit longer to have more of an impact

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I liked the narrator, cant fault her.

Do you think The Secret Circle, Volume I: The Initiation needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, but I cannot seem to find it

I loved the books series

I loved the book series when I read it, now I can listen to it.
