I went to Borders this weekend with my stepdaughter, Britni. I finally bought the first installment to "Vampire Diaries." I read this series back when I was in high school, which was a very long time ago. And I wanted to reread the series for my own enjoyment.
I have read the "Twilight" series and did enjoy it.
Back to "Diaries," I completed Vol. 1: The Awakening, and about halfway through Vol. 2: The Struggle.
On L.J. Smith's Web site there is an updated book listing of more stories to follow in the "Vampire Diaries" series.
To add more fuel to the fire. The CW "Vampire Diaries" series premiere is Thursday, Sept. 10 8/7c.
So, Edward beware: A new vampire is moving into the dark shadows and he doesn't sparkle. Paul Wesley as Stefan in "THE VAMPIRE DIARIES."
I read both the "Twilight" series and the "Vampire Diaries" Series. I don't like that they made Stefan seem so weak. I thought it was cheesey when Elena had to save Stefan from the well. Also in the VP Diaries the end is not very conclusive. It's almost as if the writer forgot to finish the last chapter, It just ends. In twilight there's a climate and an end. If you were reading VP Diaries and there were not chapters or titles of books you wouldn't be able to distinguish between books. Anyway, maybe I'm just bias because I read Twilight first. I love Edward's character better. Come to think of it I love all the twilight characters better, they have more depth.
