The Secret Circle

I feel as if most of my recent posts have been TV/book related, so I hope my next few posts wont follow the same pattern. Anyway, I am here to talk about my new love, The Secret Circle.

I recently heard about this from Allthatglitters21 (Elle Fowler) on Youtube. I thought, because it's the summer holidays, I have not much else to do so I'll watch it as I have quite similar taste to Elle. I found the series online, and watched all 22 episodes within less than a week. It was amazing.

So basically The Secret Circle is about witches. Not the ugly witches with green faces and big noses and sit beside a cauldron. These witches are all teenagers and very good looking. Cassie Blake, the main character, moves to Chance Harbor after the death of her mother and there she discovers that she is actually a witch. With five other characters, Diana, Faye, Melissa, Adam and Nick (and then Jake, but that's something I don't want to spoil) they make up the circle of witches, and when bound can hold great power. In the series they over come many problems such a demons, witch hunters and even their own parents. They have to stick together.

One of my favourite things about this series is how well they mould each character. I love Cassie for strength and courage, I love Diana for how sensible, nice and down-to-Earth she is, I love Faye because of her wild side, I love Melissa because of how just she is and because of how she gets on with everyone, I love Adam because he fights for what he believes in and finally, I love Jake because even though he has made mistakes, he tries to make them better.

This show is one of the best written shows that I have watched in a while, it also has one of the best story lines, it's to original and doesn't get boring like others shows can get. Each episode is left on the edge of a cliffhanger, including the last episode in the series, which pains me because they're not bringing back another season. It has been cancelled. This is where I need your help. There are petitions going to help bring another series and I would love it if you could sign your name if you love this show as much as I do.

You can sign here and here.

This show deserves a season two, much more than some of the shows that are going around now-a-days. Please spread the word and get other people to sign! Thank you.

The Vampire Diaries: Season 2 & 3

Okay, I have now finished seasons 2 and 3 of The Vampire Diaries! I wasn't expecting them to be as good as season 1, but I was wrong- it was just as good, if not better

In this season, I have grown to love Damon even more. I think he just gets funnier in every episode and his jokes make me warm to him. And in this season he really shows his loving side even more as well, especially the way he cares for Elenor's life. I read something on Tumblr the other day that made me think about Damon, it was saying about all the times that he's been let down and all the pain that he is actually in. For example he fell in love with Elena and Katherine both picked Stefan over him, even his own father did as well. It's a really touching piece written by diariesofvampires on Tumblr.

It's been a while since I've watched The Vampire Diaries and I can't really remember each episode individually. I just remember that in Season Two we learn that there's a lot more than Vampires in Mystic Falls. As ever, at the end of each episode it keeps you on a cliff hanger and as usual, there's action and romance and everything that makes The Vampire Diaires great. It's hard to say a lot without giving things away. You'll just have to trust me, it's amazing.

Season 3 brings back the enemies from season two, also known as the Originals. The beginning of all vampires and it just so happens they want Elena and the brothers dead, but to keep you even more on the edge of your seat, Stefan has given into his humanity and there's only one girl who can save him. Elena. Now, out of all the cliffhangers throughout the three series the end of this series leaves you on the biggest cliff hanger ever and I'm glad to announce that there is a fourth season coming out by the end of this year. I can't wait to watch it.

I have season 1 and 2 on DVD and they are both lent out to my friends because it's just so good. If you're sceptical of watching it, don't be. Give it a go, it's worth it, trust me.

Fifty Shades of Grey

I am finally writing a review on the very popular book Fifty Shades of Grey. I bought this book on Tuesday of last week and started reading it on the Thursday. I finally finished it on Wednesday night. This book is the best selling paperback of all time, even beating the amazing Harry Potter, one of my favourite book series of all time. 

I was very sceptical going to read this book because I have heard very good things about it but also very bad things about it but as it is the best selling paperback of all time, I was going in with quite high expectations. I do like how it gets straight into the story, unlike Twilight (this book did actually start as a Twilight fanfic if you weren't already aware, but it was taken down as it was too erotic so E.L James decided to make the story into a book, or three books to be more precise) where the real story didn't start until many pages in. 

Anastasia Steele is the protagonist. And to be honest, I actually quite like her. I don't usually like the protagonists, they're either too stupid or too girly etc but Ana seems to have a lot of wit, which makes her very likable. She's also very smart and quite sensible (although some could argue about that). I like the way she goes about things.

Then we have Christian Grey. The famous Christian Grey. He's portrayed as a very handsome man, but he's hiding a big secret about his childhood that shapes him out to be the man that he is today. He's a bit messed up inside, and throughout the books Ana tries to figure him out and learn about his secrets. He's very rich (and very good in bed) which I think is one of the reasons as to why this book is such a good seller, it gives girls the chance to see what it would be like to date the 'dream guy;' a handsome, rich man with his own helicopter. But lets face it, another reason it's a best seller is because of all the sex. It's an erotic novel, really erotic. The 'Red Room of Pain' could be either your dream, or your nightmare, but it's something different which is why I think it's such a hit.

Overall I think this book is very... average. It isn't awful, but it isn't amazing. I've read better books such a Vampire Academy. However I may buy the next book just to see where the relationship goes and to fully understand why Christian is the way that he is.
