Overview

Seven teenage witches are hunted by an ancient evil. The first in Seven teenage witches are hunted by an ancient evil. The second in the gripping Engelsfors Trilogy featuring THE CHOSEN ONES. One night, when a strange red moon fills the sky, six school girls find themselves in an abandoned theme park, drawn there by a mysterious force. A student has just been found dead. Everyone suspects suicide. Everyone - except them. In that derelict fairground an ancient prophecy is revealed. They are The Chosen Ones, a group of witches, bound together by a power, one which could destroy them all. But they soon learn that despite their differences they need each other in order to master the forces that have been awakened within them. High school is now a matter of life and death. Because the killing has only just begun.

The Circle is a gift for those of us who love Buffy. It is impossible to put down and I cannot wait for 2012 when the sequel, Fire, is released QX You long for the sequel even before you have finished the book. -- National Swedish newspaper Eskilstuna Kuriren What a stunning novel. Raw, real, smart, very thrilling and very, very wicked. The Circle is Twilight by way of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians I have never read a novel for adults that so smoothly reconciles the literary temperaments as The Circle does... This is going to be BIG -- National Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter Let's not call The Circle Sweden's most talked-about young adult novel right now, but simply Sweden's most famous book right now. -- National Swedish newspaper Goteborgsposten


There are shades of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this school-based fantasy thriller in which six girls, apparently unconnected, discover they are witches and must together defeat an evil power. So far, so B-movie, but what sets this addictive novel apart is the lack of smouldering heroes, pace Twilight, and the emphasis on character development, with the supernatural elements taking a back seat. Rightly destined to be the next cult read. Sunday Telegraph ...it has enough of an emotional edge to stand out from the crowd. A mix of traditional teen melodrama and supernatural intrigue. an engaging YA read that scores in its well-observed characterization, effective emotional subtexts and genuine tension... [A] honest and realistic portrayal of being a teenager . does set up a very intriguing status quo for the rest of the series. SFX Magazine The Circle is a gift for those of us who love Buffy. It is impossible to put down and I cannot wait for 2012 when the sequel, Fire, is released QX You long for the sequel even before you have finished the book. -- National Swedish Newspaper Eskilstuna Kuriren I have never read a novel for adults that so smoothly reconciles the literary temperaments as The Circle does...
