We take a bit of a look at bullying, eating disorders, alchohol use and teenage sex. We run the extremes between the ‘popular’ girl and the ‘book geek’. The girls range from the school bitch to the emo chick – sorry to categorise them in such a way but that’s sort of the truth of this situation. But, eventually it all comes together and you start to gain a picture of each of the girls. At first I had a bit of a puzzle keeping all the different names together with their own personalities. So, obviously we have quite a mix of characters here. Eventually they manage to put some of their own prejudices aside to come together and practice their skills but they have very little knowledge or guidance and they’re really stumbling around in the dark waiting to be picked off one by one. Basically something evil is taking place and is predominantly focused at the school and the girls have no idea when one of them might be targeted next by whatever evil lurks there. They are controlled by a body called ‘The Council’ who forbid certain activities such as revealing themselves to regular humans. Witches exist the world over but very little is really known about them as most the information relating to them is regulated, manipulated or deleted entirely in order to feed incorrect ideas.
Part of a strange prophecy predicted to help save the world. Basically the girls are witches and not only that they are ‘chosen ones’. We are then introduced to the different characters who make up the story and a little bit of each of their personalities is revealed before they finally meet on the night where their new-found talents are revealed. The story starts out in high school where one of the students has just committed suicide. More importantly, they need to come together and help each other in their forthcoming struggles, a task which won’t be easy considering the way that some of these girls feel about each other. They’ve come together in spite of themselves, they certainly aren’t friends and they’re about to discover that they have each been gifted with strange abilities and are to be bound together by an ancient power, one which they must master in order to survive.
It starts out fairly quickly and brings together six girls, under a red moon. Just finished reading The Circle by Sara B Elfgren and Mats Strandberg.
