Because I love the Vampire Diaries series so much I became really excited when I found the complete book series in a second hand books shop.
I think I just got compelled to immediately buy them all.

Going into it, it was very hard not to compare tis to the series.
And I really disliked it at first because the characters ar so different (I will get deeper into this) and some of my favorite characters don’t even exist. Also at first it sounds more like a bad adaptation of mean girls which I didn’t expect at all but that faded away quickly, luckily.
I didn’t think I would have given it even one star at first.
But because the writing was so simple it was very quick to get through and I was really needing a quick read so that made it enjoyable.
And I had to stay around for Damon of course.

Let’s start (complaining) with Elena. In this book she is utterly annoying and selfish and I can’t get myself to like her. This is how her character is written and she is made to be cold and selfish but it just makes it more confusing as to why she is so special and why everyone likes her so much.
The only thing that makes sense is that Damon likes her because she’s cold and fierce, like him.
I never really understood the insta love that started with Stefan and Elena other that that she reminds him of his past love. Which is just tragic.

I really hope I will grow on Elena because I will continue this series.

Why? Because the rest of the characters are really like able, interesting and mysterious. And the story is actually really fun and intriguing. There is always something going on which makes it exciting and makes you want to know what will happen next.
The book ends with a cliffhanger that tells you that you know something but you also don’t know what’s going to happen at all.

If you’re in for a quick, fun, supernatural read, I would definitely recommend it.
It’s not he best book about vampires but it’s not the worst either.
And I think if you loved the series on Netflix you would probably also like the books.
