ReviewsThe Circle is a story about group dynamics, identity, and finding one's place in the world. Like all great books, it's about how people handle the difficult task of becoming human beings, together with other human beings., The Circle ensnares you from the start, with all the epic mayhem and darkness of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and with teen characters as rich and nuanced as any reader could hope for. It's an utterly convincing world, and a resonant one, and we find ourselves wanting to follow its heroes anywhere., A beautiful, frightening, empowering novel reminiscent of the best of Scott Westerfeld or Anne Rice, The Circle puts its mismatched heroines--and readers--at the center of an ancient conspiracy of magic as terrifying as it is realistic. Enthralling from start to finish., "Rightly destined to be the next cult read." -- The Telegraph "[The Circle] reads like The Demon Headmaster set in a Swedish Twin Peaks with a nod to Stieg Larsson." -- The Observer, "Rightly destined to be the next cult read."

SynopsisOn a night after the apparent suicide of high school student Elias Malmgren, a blood-red moon fills the night sky., Minoo wakes up outside her house, still in her pajamas, and is drawn by an invisible force to an abandoned theme park on the outskirts of town. Soon five of her classmates--Vanessa, Linn a, Anna-Karin, Rebecka, and Ida--arrive, compelled by the same force. A mystical being takes over Ida's body and tells them they are fated to fight an ancient evil that is hunting them. As the weeks pass, each girl discovers she has a unique magical ability. They begin exploring their powers. The six are wildly different and definitely not friends . . . but they are the Chosen Ones. In this gripping first installment of The Engelsfors Trilogy, a parallel world emerges in which teenage dreams, insanely annoying parents, bullying, revenge, and love collide with dangerous forces and ancient magic. An international sensation with rights sold in 26 countries, The Circle is razor-sharp and remarkable from start to finish.
