Being a vampire fan (on a BIG scale) I'm willing to try out any books with the words 'Vampire' somewhere in them so this was no different. I just happened to pick up the 1st and 2nd books up in the Supermarket and couldn't put them down. So when I couldn't find the 3rd and 4th books anywhere I came online and found them. The plots are excellent, the characters are portrayed perfectly and L.J Smith's attention to the character's innermost feelings etc. is VERY good. It gives you a better picture of what the characters look like/sound like/feel like etc.
It's definitely one for 'The Twilight Crowd' and having read Twilight this is DEFINITELY true. Though a bit darker than Twilight it's perfect if you feel like you need something a bit more 'gritty' (I'm not sure if this is the right word to use but I'm having a difficult time trying to find the right word) and so I absolutely love it.
I can't wait for the newest installment next year.
Even more thrilling addition to the series!!! March 12, 2010

Having been left reeling at the end of the last book, I could not wait to read and see what became of Elena in this one!
I thought, surely Smith would not take her away so soon, and I was not dissapointed!!!
I love the development of Stefans brother Damon in this and share in Elena's view that there is more to supposedly evil Damen than meets the eye. Of course I love Stefan, Damon's polar opposite, and Stefan lives up to his heroic and proud self in this 2 set book with his continuance to keep to Elena's last wish and look after Damon.
I loved that the brothers after centuries of hating each other over Cathrine come together to fight an evil enemy set on revenge on the town. It is a shock who comes to the rescue for the whole gang in the end... and what happens afterwards to keep you reading the the return/nightfall!
Read it as I promise you will not be disappointed by this amazing series!!! If you dont have time to read it catch the ITV series of it instead :) Either way you will not be dissapointed! :)

Vampire Diaries volume 2 carried on from where the last book suspensefully left you hanging. With many twists and turns between Elena, Stephan, Damon, Matt, Meredeth and Bonnie its a definite read. Its not one of those books you can just pick up and hope to understand without reading volume 1 though. Happy reading!

I originally began reading the series as a result of the TV series. However, by the time I began reading these two I had long forgotten the TV series and was really loving the books. The end of the second book left me wanting more, thus I was really eager to see what was to become of Elena.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading them. You see Damon's character develop further, the strength of Stefan and Elena's relationship, and you see the brother's join forces to fight against a larger evil, which is certainly refreshing.
Other reviewers have compared these series to the Twilight series. I believe that you should take both books for what they are and certainly not compare them, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. I have enjoyed both series enourmously and certainly recommend anyone to read these books, you won't be dissapointed.

My daughter made her way through the Sephanie Meyers novels and to be honest I was at a loss where to go to keep her intested in reading. These have been a good replacement which she throughly enjoys.
She confirms they are amazing and immense, she has been waiting for books 3 and 4 since June and hasnt been disappointed.
With the revival of everything vampire amongst lots of teenagers these books wont disappoint.
