I'd give The Secret Circle- The Temptation a 3/5. It was entertaining and kept me turning the pages, but it wasn't my favorite in the series. The plot had a lot of action and high stakes, which I liked, but some of the characters felt different from how I remembered them. I was glad to get answers and see how everything ended, but the book didn't hit the same way the original trilogy did. It was a solid conclusion, just not an amazing one.

Wow this was really, really bad. Poor L.J. Smith. Not only did she have the rights to these characters (TVDs as well) taken away, but the publisher hired a terrible ghost writer. These new books are too dissimilar compared to the L.J. Smith trilogy. These new books are just to milk as much money from the franchise as possible.

Stop dissing the writer. Maybe L.J. Smith let them write it. Like somebody said (I forget who) you can't rate something before you read it. That's why I'm giving three stars, not hating it but not liking the book either.
