I watched the tv series before start reading and listening this book, so I really expected see more intensity than I saw on tv. I really enjoy these kind of teen fantastic stories about vampires, witches, supernatural creatures, but I was expecting more scary scenes and more passion between Cassie and Adam in this first book.
In the fantasy category I would say that it is in the second position. Where does The Secret Circle, Volume I: The Initiation rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? I am not too looking forward to the love story aspect of the book but I am not going to give up on the book just yet, there is enough in this book to make it a very very good listen. If your into Teeny Fantasy Romance novel or if your able to put up with that aspect of the book then this is a good book to listen. I am without a doubt intrigued as to how the book series will continue. The story itself though is fascinating, there are so many unanswered questions and twists and turns that the novel can take. I have always thought that teenagers in love, forbidden love and the likes are a bit overplayed at best and impractical in real life (alas, this is fantasy). I find some aspects of the story a bit trivial and annoying (teeny love stories are a bit overplayed to me in general). The number of characters in the circle itself, the description of some of the characters, the make-up of the families and the very motive behind how or why the circle was formed. As for the story, it is far different from the series in many ways. That is (in a sense) what the book is, however I believe with a different narrator it might have felt more than that. My only thought (slight problem really and it's just a personal thing) however is that the narrator though suited for this genre from the get go makes me think that this is a teeny romance novel. The narrator first and foremost is very much suited for this genre I must say, she did do a pretty fair job of the book itself. The series give you an idea of what the book itself is about but the stories are quite different in a lot of sense.
I had no idea it was originally a book until I saw a comment on youtube. I listened to this book because of CW series rendition of The Secret Circle.
