Narration In Pursuance Of Books Cirkeln (Engelsfors #1)
Engelsfors. Vackert namn, risig stad. Omgiven av djupa skogar där människor ofta går vilse och försvinner. Sex tjejer har just börjat gymnasiet. De har inget gemensamt - förutom att en uråldrig ondska jagar dem.Höstterminen har just börjat när en elev hittas död på en av gymnasieskolans toaletter. Alla förmodar att det var ett självmord. Alla utom de som vet sanningen.
En natt då månen färgats mystiskt röd förs sex tonårstjejer till den nedlagda folkparken. De vet inte hur de har kommit dit eller varför de är där, men utan varandra kommer de inte att överleva.
De får veta att de är häxor. De Utvalda, som nämns i en uråldrig profetia. Plötsligt är gymnasiet på liv och död - bokstavligt talat. De måste lära sig samarbeta trots sina olikheter, och kontrollera de magiska krafter som vaknat till liv inom dem. Tiden håller på att rinna ut. De måste hitta och besegra ondskan som jagar dem, innan ondskan hittar dem.

Set in the small town of Engelsfor in Sweden, The Circle follows six teenagers at the local high school that find out they have magic powers.For the first few chapters I was a little confused by all the different characters as the viewpoint jumps between the girls, but by the middle of the book I had them sorted. They are all very different and there is enough character development to start getting to know each of them.Not all of the girls were very

There are parts I really love and I also love the mix of characters!!
REVIEW COURTESY OF ALL THINGS URBAN FANTASYWhen I was first asked if I wanted to review THE CIRCLE my first thought was whether or not is a based on the TV show THE SECRET CIRCLE. Thanks to Google I found out that it was most definitely not based on the TV show which was apparently based on a different series of books. Oops. THE CIRCLE sure shares a lot in common with THE SECRET CIRCLE (or at least with the few episodes of the show Ive seen), but it stands well enough on its own.THE CIRCLE
If I had of read this when I was 14 my star rating would have been 5 stars. Unfortunately Im a little bit* older than that, which means that some of the themes missed the mark for me personally. I really would recommend it to younger readers, as I feel like it would speak to them on a different level.Almost every single stereotypical teenage problem is covered in this book. Drug use, drinking, suicide, self harm, sex, anorexia, low self esteem, bullying, being different, relationships with much
