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.

I was hooked ... I was reading as fast as I could to find out what happened next ... The story has good pace and there are some excellent twists to the plot which really surprised me ... Recommended to those who like their heroines with attitude and supernatural stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

The most interesting book to come out of Sweden this year, and it’s not another crime thriller!

This book was one of those that I just couldn’t put down, and despite its size I found it to be a really quick read. The characters were all so different and yet still fit together in their own way, and I was truly shocked by some of the events. I loved the fact that the book wasn’t too teenage despite taking place in a high school, as the characters have genuine problems to overcome with each trying to find their own way to cope with their powers. A great read, I’m really looking forward to book two!

You long for the sequel even before you have finished the book.

National Swedish newspaper, Eskilstuna Kuriren

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

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

If you like your YA witch stories with a difference then I suggest picking up a copy The Circle... [I'm]excited for the next one.

Totally Bookalicious

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, Göteborgsposten

Tense and full of dramatic twists and turns, I look forward to seeing what is next for the witches in part two which is called Fire

MeMyBooksandI

This was definitely a brilliant book, that is well worth taking the time to invest in and read.

Serendipity Reviews

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

Witches are the new black. This is the first in a best-selling Swedish trilogy and it's one you will not want to miss out on... An epic holiday read, it's got a fantastical, interwoven narrative that is just what you need to take you all the from the airport departure lounge to a shady spot beside the pool.
