The Vampire Diaries Series (The Books)
Since i love the Vampire Diaries you know i had to pick up the books when i saw them!!
The books in order from first to last...
The Awakening and The Struggle
The Fury and Dark Reunion
The Return:(Vol.1) Nightfall
The Return:(Vol.2) Shadow Souls
Let me first of all say that the first 2 books of this series that i bought are like 2 books in one cover ( if that makes sense). Example: The Awakening is one book and The Struggle is another but they are both packed into one book.Im not sure if you can get them by their selves or not but i prefer them this way.
I initially thought this was going to be like the television series but i've read them all and they aren't! The characters and basically the same with some exceptions. Like, for example, in the books Elena has blonde hair and a younger sister but in the tv series she is a brunette and has a brother. The stories and scenarios are totally different. I was really disappointed at the ending because i felt that there wasn't closure. Hopefully there will be one last book coming out that will actually have an ending....who knows! Overall i am in love with these books. If you like vampire, love story type of books then i definitely recommend that you pick these up!!
