I've been a fan of the Repairman Jack novels for many years, and this is the second of the prequel books covering Jack's teenage years (written for young adults). I have mixed feelings over this type of book where the background conveniently flows into place, as I kind of liked the mystery behind Jack's alienation from society, and after all, we learned about his mother's death and its turning point in his life way back in The Tomb. On the other hand, it's hard to avoid any book by a favorite author, so I have to read this! Unfortunately, Secret Circles didn't have much to offer - a mysterious structure in the woods, more interactions with The Lodge, and a creature creeping the neighborhood by night. I was entertained but really wanted more substance in this book. With only two books left in the series, the next due this Spring, I'm ready to see how everything ties together.
