Ever since Jack first discovered the pyramid, nothing has been the same for Jack or the own of Johnson. A chain of unexplained murders fire up the suspicion against the Lodge - a secret society that was the first to settle in Johnson. In Jack: Secret Circles, things have begun to simmer down since the murders. That is until Cody disappears. Jack had seen Cody ride home, but didn't make sure he got there. Now Cody has disappeared and chaos is aroused in Johnson. Once again, the Lodge and pyramid is linked to all this. Along with that, Mr. Vivino is abusing his family and no one knows about it. Now, Jack must find a way to save Cody, Mrs. V, and her daughter. But since Jack is dealing with a secret society and a man running for public office, things won't  be solved very easily. 

Opinion: 

As the mystery began to unfold, I picked up interest. The beginning of the novel was slow and seemed to go on forever. But as new twists changed the course of the story, the suspense began to increase. One example of a twist is when Cody goes missing. From there, things begin to heat up and new secrets are discovered when Jack and Weezy go looking in the Lodge. But the secrets are found gradually and over a long period of time. Sometimes the discovery of one secret would happen long before the next. For this, I wouldn't say this novel is a page-turner. I think it is more of a book that slowly increases suspense as you read into it. I recommend this book to any who is willing to read to the middle of the book before actually
getting to the climax. Jack: Secret Circles is a good novel, but it isn't amazingly exciting.
