What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Several years ago, sometime between 2012 and 2020, I lived in an apartment that kept getting broke into. Several of my books were taken over time. There was a series a friend gave me that I had started reading the first book of, but the whole set went missing.

The series was about a coven of witches. There was an eccentric aunt (I believe she was an aunt), and it was set near a beach. I am pretty sure the title was a single word.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe The Secret Circle series (first a trilogy, then I think she went back and wrote more books) by L.J. Smith?
The first/original three books are
The Initiation
The Captive
The Power

Definitely tales place on/near a beach, and I don't think there's an eccentric aunt, but maybe a grandma?

I was going to suggest the same series. The main character does live with a grandma and mother, although one of the other girls lives with an aunt.

I am sure that is it. Different cover, but sounds right. I didn't realize they were that old. Thank you to you both.

They were sort of repackaged and more books written at some point relatively recently (at least compared to when they were originally written in the 90s), I think after The Vampire Diaries got turned into a TV show and became super popular, and then they tried to do the same thing with this series but it didn't work.

Anyway, the first three books stand as a completed trilogy. No idea what happens in the books she added on later.

I had no clue about any of that. I have never even heard of the show. Thank you for all that background.
