The cast of the epic new series from left to right:
Thomas Dekker, Shelley Hennig, Britt Robertson, Louis Hunter, Phoebe Tonkin and Melissa Glaser. |
So I don't know if you've heard, but a fairly kickass show has hit Sky Living (or CW for any Americano's out there) called
The Secret Circle which just so happens to be an adaption of L.J. Smith's book of the same name. It's the second of her books to be made into a TV series, for those of you who haven't read or watched
The Vampire Diaries, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!

| L. J. Smith's other supernatural creation, The Vampire Diaries. |
The Secret Circle had been advertised a lot promoting its premier last week, so I thought I'd take a chance on it and see if it was any good. I had no idea at the time it was based on one of L.J. Smith's books, I have read all of her
Night World (of which I am still eagerly awaiting the final book, Strange Fate) series and I have watched the first season of The Vampire Diaries and have loved every chapter/episode, so when I found out this was another one of her creations I think it's safe to say I died a little in my pure excitement, not to mention the fact I go all jelly like whenever I see Thomas Dekker's face so that may have added to it.

| Love is in the air for Adam and Cassie. |
The show is about a Californian teen named Cassie Blake who sadly loses her mother in a mysterious house fire and so has to move to live with her grandmother in the small town her mother left behind many years ago along with a former life that is teeming with a manajorie of secrets, of which one of the most major of all is revealed to Cassie when she firsts arrives... she's a witch. Shocker I know. But it gets better, trust me. On her first day she has a few chance encounters with the too gorgeous Adam Conant, who is hinted at by his drunken father to Cassie, that his son and she are soul mates. This just so happens to be proven as Adam is a warlock himself (along with four other misfits hence 'the secret circle' as they all have the secrets of being witches and they're in this coven and yeah you get it) and when he tries to prove to Cassie she is in fact a budding magical youth by performing a spell with her, his magic is intensified by their connection and they make thousands of these little water droplets float around them whilst the sunlight falls on them in a forest. Oh my god so much swoon over that scene it's unreal.

| Screw vampires, witches are the new hotties in hollywood! |
I've already given too much away, so I won't say much more, just that it's a damn hot show with a very talented and beautiful cast and a guaranteed to be A-MEH-ZING storyline as, let's admit it, L. J. Smith is one of the most brilliant writers of contempory teenage fiction today.
Watch it people, you can catch it Wednesdays on Sky Living at 8pm or Thursdays on CW 9/8c and hopefully it'll put a spell on you as it did me. Haha, sorry I couldn't resist ;D
