I adore these books
I first read these in high school and now atleast every 2 or 3 years I read them again. This time around (I'm 27 now) when I had the urge to read them I couldn't find them. I really wish they would make them into a movie trilogy! It's just a great read if you love nature and magic and remember being 16 and in highschool. I hope I read this until I am an old grandma and can get lost in time and pretend I am cassie!

A wonderful young adult book
I love this trilogy. I've loved it since I was about ten, and I still love it. It has pride of place on my bookshelf, and every now and again, I go back and re-read it.
I loved these books
When I was about 13 or 14 I read and re-read these book over and over again. I even recorded them on tape so that I could listen to it while I was out and about.

The Midnighters: The Secret Hour
In my book, "The Midnighters: The Secret hour," the main character, Jessica, finds herself waking up one night, and everything is still.She finds out that this "secret hour," or "blue time," exists only to people born on EXACTLY midnight; to the rest, it goes by in a blink of an eye.During this secret hour, Jessica encounters a monstrous panther, enormous tarantulas, and large, dragon-like creatures.These "darklings" are after Jessica. Everywhere she goes, they follow.Why would they want to kill Jessica? What did she do so wrong that these darklings are after her?What makes her a midnighter?There's nothing special about her, so why do they treat her like it?All of these questions are answered in Scott Westerfeld's thrilling novel.
Possibly the best book I have ever read.
People of all ages will adore this well writen novel. Even if you or some one you know will LOVE Scott Westerfeld's hit. It is creative, imaginative, entertaining, thrilling, humorous, and mysterious. Midnighters, in my opinion is WAY better than the Harry Potter series (that is A LOT to say.) It kept me reading way past midnight.

The Secret Hour: a lovely book with more to come!
I was recommended this book by a librarian, and I didn't really check it out until recently. I was stuck on books to read so decided to check it out of my local library. I started reading it when I got home and could barely stop.

Vampire Diaries#1: The Awakening
I had so much fun reading this book that by the time I got to the end I was tearing my whole house apart looking for the next, I stole the first from my older sister and I never found the next :( so now I'm waiting for them to come in the mail, its really hard just sitting here typing about the first. I was so into the first that I read the whole intire thing in only three days. This book like all L.J Smith book is a must read. So far I've only read it two times in the last month, trust me thats good for my nirotic brain to function on any other books (but they happen to be by L.J Smith of course). So just take my word for it and read it. You'll never regret it!

not what i tthought it would be
It had a verry slow start and a lot of rmabling. I did fall in love with the mail charector even though I could not relate to the main charector it is kind of buffyesk. I identified the main character as cordila form the buffy serisbut still liked it. I was up set to find out the third book in the seris is out of print and hard to find. Good seris but don't start reading till you can get all the books.

More L.J. please
Not ONLY does L.J. Smith write in the beginning of these characters, she sets up a working reality that we, as the reader, can lose ourselves in. Luring you in with a timeless romance and a dark seduction, all with a haunting past, you won't want to put this book down. When I bought this book, I thought: "What the Hell, I might as well give it a read" (since I am a vampire book addict.) Come to find, I was at the same store the next day, buying the next in the series. Since then, I've read these books at least three more times.

A compelling fantasy
Nick and Allie don't survive the car accident, but their souls are caught between life in death in a limbo known as Everlost, a shadow of the living world, where other lost kids are trapped. While Nick becomes accustomed to his new world, Allie ventures into the world of haunting, trying to get back to the world she knows best - and finds a monster threatens their new life. EVERLOST is a compelling fantasy that again displays Shusterman's prowess at characterization and unpredictable twists of plot. ... Read more

A GREAT BOOK
Although I thought this book would be kind of wack it turned out 2 be a great book. And the ending is so shocking. This was one of my first fear street books and know I read a book of Fear street almost everyday. This book is surprising and u wont let it down until your finish it. A thriller

R.L. Stine books are still cool!!!
This book was very interesting.Right when I thought I had it figured out,it was something completely different.I've always loved R.L. Stine and this book didn't disappoint me at all.He has much better books,but this is still very great!

THIS BOOK IS GREAT
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes R.L. Stine novels or to anyone who likes a good suspense novel. The plot is that these two girls who have always hated each other and go after the same things, like this guy named Vincent. Both of the girls think he is dating them exclusively, but he's playing both of them. The ending is very unpredictable and interesting ... Read more

Andy 's review

Amazing Book!
This book is amazing. Ross in this book is WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY two absesive about what his mother thought about him. Even if he did live in my town and was hotter than hott, I dont want to go on a date with a mother absesive MURDERER! (Murderer is bad enough). By the way, Im also writing a book. Im 13 and my book is call"Text Absesive", Soon to be a best seller! Later!

Good!
The Confession was good. I thought that it probably wasn't but I remind myself that don't judge a book by it's cover. It was really good. It surprised me at the end. I didn't even get the killer right like I used to. And that's good in my suspense. If u haven't known. I'm writing my own book myself, it's called Vision Of Death. So look for it this year or next year. I am 13. I recommend this book highly. ... Read more

All these books are great
I love all of these books but since Jalil is my least favorite character except for Senna. I didn't really like this one as much as the others. It had some pretty interesting twists though. Eshu was a real pain in the butt. I love what they did to Senna. She deserves it. Everone that loves Science Fiction has got to love this series. I can't wait till I can read number 9.

Another fine installment
In this book, Jalil tells it all as he, Christopher, David, April, and Senna travel across a seemingly African plain, on a mission for the Goddess Athena: find Senna's mother, a witch who supposedly has enough power to open gateways between the universes.Along the way they have plenty of problems of their own, mostly revolving around Senna, who we're pretty sure now is at least a partial enemy.Jalil has a few real world difficulties as well (such as getting a date, hee hee).The characters are real as ever, and the discriptions vivid as always, but as a warning to those younger than fourteen or so, this one is also exceptionally gory, even more so than usual.

This series gets the kids reading
After your kids have read Harry Potter, introduce them to this series. A diverse group of kids is gathered together by a young witch with a plan...each book is in another place within Everworld. There is HISTORY of ancient culture to be learned here in each exhilarating tale! ... Read more

Lois Duncan at her best
This book, in my opinion, is suberb. It's not in any way like the movie, besides the name, the note, and the four characters. In the movie, they hit a fisherman, meh, no biggy, he's old enough. But in the book, they hit a little boy, who had so much of his life left, that just makes the crime seem more sinister. In the movie, two of the teenagers die, and how? Basically the same as the rest of the victims in all the series, with a hook. Atleast in the book, even though no one died, they were hurt in different ways, strangled, shot, etc. Plus, the victims in the movie are almost all innocent, but in the book, the only victims are the ones who COMMITED the crime, not people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
And you should be ashamed
As this thriller opens high school senior Julie discovers that she has been accepted into a prestigious East Coast college, but in the same mail came cryptic message 'I know what you did last summer'.Unfortunately Julie knows all to well what the message refers to.Last summer Julie, her boyfriend and another couple had been in a hit and run accident, an accident that had killed a little boy.The four teens had decided not to come forward and take responsibility for the accident.It was a decision that they had all come to regret but one that they felt they could not change now.But now it seemed that someone else knew their secret.
I Know
On that horrible night in July a terrible thing happened.Something everyone wanted to forget, but it still came back to haunt them.The inhabitants of that car were Barry Cox (driver), his girlfriend Helen Rivers, (backseat) Raymond Bronson, and Julia James.That night Barry was driving too fast around curves on the mountain trail and right out of nowhere was little David Gregg, who unfortunately was hit by the vehicle.The group of them decided to call nine one-one and not to leave a name or even go back to see if the boy was all right.Everyone tried to forget until the next year when all four of them received letters or newspaper clippings about the event.Then Barry received a phone call saying `I know what you did last summer involving a bike and a car, and if you don't come to the stadium and meet me under the bleachers and buy them from me, I'm going to send the pictures to the Gregg's.'But, when Barry was on his way to the stadium he was shot and a bullet cut through his stomach and was lodged in his spine.Barry was in the hospital for a long time and when Ray came to ask him who had called him that night he said it was a girl he had been dating for a while.Then later Helen and guy named Collie were swimming in the pool and Collie got out early and Helen got out later and went up to her apartment, and when she got there Collie was sitting in a purple chair and he said that he was going to kill his date that night and Helen figured out that he was going to kill Julie.The phone rang giving Helen enough diversion to get to the bathroom where she called for help, and when no one helped her she jumped out the window.Then Bud continued on his way to see Julie.But Mrs. James had a "feeling" about something and didn't want Julie to go on the date, but when Bud got there he told Helen that he was Collie and that his brother was David, and then everything went black for her until she was revived and sirens were pulling up.They dissolved the pact and decided to tell the cops everything from the beginning. I really liked this book because it was a little intense and was very good.

A fitting conclusion
The first time around, I read this trilogy out of order. I picked this book up in a used bookstore when I was about ten, and I loved it so much that I went out and bought the two other books in the trilogy, and every other one that L.J. Smith had written at that point. Eight years later and it's still probably my favorite book by her.
Good Twist
I liked the twist in this book.I really wasn't expecting some of the things that happened, though they may have been right under my nose.I won't say more because I don't want to spoil the book for anyone, but you're going to be surprised.
The End
In this conclusion ea. of the characters must really make a choice as to who they want to be. Despite all the characters being sworn into a coven they have never been united. There has always been Faye's gang of wild and reckless witches that like to use their powers to have fun and then Diana's gang of goody-goody brainiacs. Then there's Nick - who's remained quietly reserved about his feelings the whole time.

You'll need a seatbelt, this is one bumpy ride!
WOW!That was a whirlwind of chaos and loose ends never tied up.
Didn't care for the characterizations
This book seemed pretty flat to me, compared to the characters on the TV show.Especially the sub-plot surrounding Spike.There was a lot "happening" in this book, but I couldn't be moved to care much.Unlike the show, where you can go from tears to laughing out loud in a heartbeat.

Loved it
I heard these were coming out, and it was approaching my birthday of last June, I got thise and play tickets from my mom after serious begging. She bought me them as soon as each one came out, funny thing is my best friend who doestn live at all close to me, got me the first one. But this is on the third one, it was a very well written book. The scenes between Buffy and Angel were pricless and touch the b/a shippers heart. A problem was of how much Buffy acted as if she loved Riley more than anything of the world, and Angel was past, why he dreamed about her and their forgotten day. Otherwise it is a good read, as a fan of either show, or the B/A or even b/r(gag) relationship. Just one thing to people who read my review or somethign that would never happen Nancy and Jeff read this, what the hell happend to Spike?! Is there a new crossover triogly in the making*looks hopeful* ... Read more

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BOOK!!!
In this book "The Stepsister", you will read horrible things that will keep you reading for hours. Maybe even days! Usually when I start to read a book, I never finish it. But this book, once I started to read it... I could not stop reading it! In this book Emily Casey is the main character and her mom is getting married to her soon to be step dad. He and his two kids, Jesse and Rich are moving in with Emily and her family. They soon move in and not even two days later, weird things begin to happen to Emily. Changes... So far her and Jesse have not gotten along so far at all. Jesse for no reason is doing all these evil things to Emily!! Emily just knows it's her! Jesse puts peroxide in her shampoo to change her hair color, she tries to steal her boyfriend, and thats not all! Death taking things happen! If you want to find out what happens, then you should read this book. If you like twisted, evil, back-stabbing books... Well then what are you waiting for! Read this book! I did.

Provoking not only tension but anger and sorrow, this is more than a thriller
The first time I read this book I was not only tense; I was angry and a little disappointed.I wanted to shake people like George Corrigan, April's weak father and Max, his childhood friend, the FBI agent who talks George into working for him.His comment "I can usually talk George into anything" and George's explanation to April for his actions illustrate the control that a stronger person has over a weaker one.I understand George's actions after his character is revealed, but I still couldn't help saying to myself "What a stupid man!"It is obvious where April gets her naive streak from!As for Max, you would think he'd treat his childhood friend better.I wondered if his attitude is typical of FBI agents.
Just finished this in one sitting, as I .....
couldn't put it down.For readers who enjoy a good suspense story that keeps you literally hanging on to every word, waiting to see what happends next, this one's for you.April's life changes overnight when she and her family are forced to enter the Federal Witness Protection Program to save their lives.April is a very unwilling participant in this whole move, and spends her days trying to figure a way out, a way to contact her boyfriend, a way to go back to her former life. Unfortunately, April--now known as Valerie--learns that this is not going to happen any time soon, if at all.How Valerie responds to this realization is what makes the story so appealing.She is a believable character, not perfect, and her flaws make the plot more exciting.
The first book to make me cry and realize the power of the written word!
I read this book in 9th grade only because I had already read everything else my english teacher had and I just expected it to be like any other thriller...I was wrong. This book keeps you interested the whole way through and it really feels as if you are the main character April. By the time I read this book i was a seasoned reader and yet this was the first book to make me cry. You feel so much for April and how she is betrayed by her boyfriend and best friend. You imagine how it is if this happened to you and if you had to give up your love and your passions. I refound this book after i went through some boxes, and the last two pages still took my breath away, expecially now that I'm older and have the love of my life and hobbies i persue with a passion which i cannot bear to imagine if it was taken away. This is a must-read at any age and definitely a re-read as well. ... Read more

LOVED IT!
In fact I LOVED the entire series!I think I read every book over at LEAST 4 times!I especially loved the character Kalika, loved the way he described her, loved her fathomlessness... I feel speechless right now, I don't even know what I say!That's how good it is... The book is religious, yet not so seriously so that you will punished if you do not agree or w/e, but simply, you'll be sucked so deep into the book you might even smart believing Sita's believes...

i love it!
i read this book in year 7 this year and it is soooo cool! It is full of action as well as sad and happy emotions combined excellently. i think everyone should read it even people who don't read much will love this book. It is one of the best book i have ever read in my life!!!

Great Book
This book though not as good as books 1 and 3 is still very good. I loved the scene were Julian and Jenny meet face to face for the first time since the last book. We get to see Jenny's character development and every scene with Julian and Jenny is Just Fabulous. I strongly recommend this trilogy........these books are great beach reads.

Not as good as the others
I enjoyed this book, but I didn't like the way you had to wait until half way into it before the game started and Julian came along. He's my favourite character, and I really feel Jenny should have just gone with him! That being said, it's a good book and you HAVE to read it! I've set up a Yahoo! group called THeforbiddenGame to talk about it, so if you like these books as muchh as I do, please join!

Very much a middle book
Jenny and her friends are dealing with the aftermath of the events of the first book. No one believes them about their friend's death and the paper house is still missing. When they finally find the paper house it is ripped to shreds and they don't know if Julian was released or not. All is soon reveled and they begin a new deadly game where Jenny's friends are disappearing one by one.Read more

Top-notch SF/Horror
Having played the two "Parasite Eve" videogames, I was very happy to finally read the original novel upon which the games were based (the games are actually sequels to the book, taking place in the US and involving new characters).Hideaki Sena's debut novel is a strong science-fiction horror story, but it might not be for everyone.
Bien.
I preordered this book a number of weeks ago and finally received it and I wasn't disappointed. I know nothing about the video game and to be honest am not particularly interested in the video game, but the novel's wonderfully inventive and incredibly entertaining.
You love it or hate it
To be frank, if you don't like romance, you probably won't enjoy this book, despite it's science fiction overtones. Fans of the movie know what to expect from the typical Japanese horror, however, for the open minded: a good read. ... Read more

The plot thickens...
Of the three books in this trilogy, this is perhaps the slowest one to read, simply because the action is not as quickly paced as the first one, and so much happens during the course of the novel. This is the book where most of the plot development occurs, and this is where we really start to know the characters who are introduced in "The Initiation." This book also serves as set up for the third book, and the climax of the series.
"That Was When the Man in Black came to New Salem..."
"The Captive" is the second book in the Secret Circle Trilogy by L. J. Smith, her most worthwhile trilogy. In the first book "The Initiation", teenager Cassie Blake and her mother moved to New Salem, where she was adopted by a group of witches within the school, who needed a twelfth member for the completion of their coven. There were complications however: although Cassie is instant friends with the coven leader Diana, Diana's cousin Faye is hostile and manipulative toward her. Meanwhile, Cassie has fallen for Diana's boyfriend Adam, and now Faye is blackmailing Cassie into doing whatever she asks - if she doesn't, she'll tell Diana the truth.
Great Book!
I loved this book! The first Secret Circle book was good and this one was even better. I can't wait to read the conclusion to this series! ... Read more

best book I have read
I relly do not like reading but this book got my attention because it is trilling I think it is thrilling besause the vampires are relly strong,fast, smart, and they can hear and see relly good beter the any thing.

Slightly Better Than The First Book
Ray is adjusting to being a vampire.He is depressed about having to sever contact with his family and friends, and appalled at having to drink human blood.But Ray doesn't have too much time to figure things out.There has been a series of brutal murders in LA.Sita knows a vampire is responsible.
Love it
