Summary: Is she really seeing Elizabeth.........
Review: As with her other Circle of Three Books, the author is telling the story of three high school girls becoming active with the Wiccan Religion. The story is ok, though not the most exciting. I give her good marks for not resorting to Hollywood special effects type of magick and striving to be more accurate in the depiction of Wicca than similar books. Probably the most unbelievable part, three high school girls under 18 being allowed to study with a coven (highly unlikely without parental written permission, if even then), has to be accepted with a willing suspension of disbelief for the series to work.

Summary: Reveal that which has been hidden.
Review: Cooper has been having nightmares about the kidnapping of a young girl. At first she thinks it is just a dream, but then it happens while she's wide awake and she knows who the girl is. The girl is Elizabeth Sanger and she wants Cooper to help find her. The police have a suspect but Elizabeth says it's someone else. The only problem is Elizabeth's anger at the person was so powerful that it overwhelmed cooper before she could identify him or her. So now Cooper is pulling a Nancy Drew and is almost killed when she, along with Kate and Annie, get to close. But once Cooper gets an idea about what's going on, Annie turns up missing and the only way to get her back safely is for Cooper to communicate with Elizabeth again. But Cooper's afraid that she will be overwhelmed again. Will she be able to overcome her fears in time to save Annie? This is my favorite book in the series so far; it gives you enough clues to let you figure out who did it before they tell you. I wish the fourth book were out already.

Summary: Great imagery and psychic powers
Review: Cooper is having visions of a local girl that is missing. Can she really help, and is her secret safe?Powerful use of fire imagery as Cooper begins her journey. And who is not amazed by psychic abilities? Only the ending fails, makes little sense. Otherwise a good mystery with lots of edge and intrigue.

Summary: Can Cooper "reveal that which has been hidden" ?
Review: Cooper is turning many corners in her life. She is turning sixteen, having nightmares, learning what it means to be a part of a religion outside of the mainstream, and that with great power comes great responsibility. In Second Sight, book three in the Circle of Three Series, author Isobel Bird cleverly blends the facts of how the Wiccan religion is practiced today, with enough fantasy to keep readers spellbound. It's a simple whodunnit with a magical twist. Cooper can't seem to get a handle on her latest Wiccan lesson on scrying. But at the same time, she is having nightmares connected to the disappearance of a teenage girl. The visions begin to surface even while she is awake. With the help of her circle friends and her Wiccan elders at the Crones' Circle bookstore, can Cooper develop the strength and self confidence necessary to control these visions? Cooper finds that magical development doesn't come easy and sometimes with a high price attached. Bird is providing a narrow, but accurate window into how the Craft is practiced today. These books give one of the most nonsensationalized representations of Wicca I've seen yet. Bird also accurately portrays many of the difficulties teens face when they wish to explore Wicca. If you haven't read books one and two in this series, don't worry, this story stands alone on it's own and you will not feel too lost. But if you find the subject of Witchcraft and Wicca fascinating, you will want to read the other books in this series as well.

Summary: Cooper's having visions, can she help?
Review: Cooper Rivers been having nightmeres. Very vivid nightmere's where she can feel, taste and smell what's going on. SHe dosen't think much of them until she starts seeing a girl whenever she looks into flames. She soon learns that this girl is Elizabeth, a 15-year-old who was kidnapped and possibly killed. She dosen't know what to do but she knows she needs to help Elizabteh before it's too late. Can Cooper use her visions for good. Or will someone use it to expose her and the circle of three. I consider this book to be the best in the series. It's nice to see an adventure that has Cooper as the main charecter. The new charecters (such as a nosy reporter who truley is the Rita Skeeter of the series) are entertaining and I hope they come back in later in the series. I can't wait until the next book in the series, What the Cards said, comes out. It stars Annie, who is my favriote charecter.

Summary: Visions of the dead...
Review: Cooper, Annie, and Kate have been studing the religion of Wicca. They find it exciting, and are really working on developing their gifts. This is something that Cooper does when a dead girl from her school makes contact with her and tells her things that stun the police and her friends. Cooper soon becomes a celebrity, and a freak to some. As if things couldn't get ANY worse, the killer is on the lookout...for her and her friends. Will they prevail? Or will they fail?
We have a page turner here! I couldn't put the thing down. It was thrilling, and terrific!

Summary: Cooler than Buffy and better than X-Files!
Review: I just found the first three books in this series this week, when they came into my local bookstore and the manager showed them to me. She thought I would like them because I'm into the supernatural. I took them home and read all three one after the other. I liked the first two, but this one is definitely my favorite. It's a fantastic ghost story, but it's also a great story about being a teenager into witchcraft. I've never read ANYTHING like these books, and I can't wait for the rest of the series.

Summary: Second Sight is the Best so far
Review: I love this book. I love murder mystery type books anyway. This is great reading. Learning more about wicca and magic. Learning how to use her second sight to find the person who murdered Elizabeth. I just could not stop reading. Books 1 and 2 are great as well but this one was the best. It is best to read all three but you could just get this book and understand a lot of what is going on. Isobel Bird is good at bringing you up to date on what has been going on. Sure you will miss some great things but you will kinda understand. Thanks for another great book Isobel. Looking forward to Book 4 in April.
