The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening and The Struggle by L. J.



The Awakening and the Struggle were first published in 1991. They are captivating, dark and beautiful.


This book, holds the first two books and The Struggle picks up exactly where The Awakening ends, which makes for a seamless and enjoyable read.


You will become addicted to this series from the moment you open the very first book.


The narration is smooth and captivating. The characters have depth and unique qualities to them. Minor characters are well rounded which make this series really work well.


Like any good book expect character flaws and things to happen that you don't want or expect.


Keep in mind that the books are vastly different from the television series. Don't expect many similarities because there aren't.


A series, I plan to add to my collection and recommend that you do so too.


Grade: A



Synopsis (B&N)
Elena: the golden girl, the leader, the one who can have any boy she wants.

Stefan: brooding and mysterious, he seems to be the only one who can resist Elena, even as he struggles to protect her from the horrors that haunt his past.

Damon: sexy, dangerous, and driven by an urge for revenge against Stefan, the brother who betrayed him. Determined to have Elena, he'd kill to possess her.

Collected here in one volume for the first time, volumes one and two of The Vampire Diaries, the tale of two vampire brothers and the beautiful girl torn between them.
