Now,
I know you guys are probably going to be like “OMG, another set of Vampire
books? Really? Have you nothing better to do with your life?” my answer my
dears, is no. I have NOTHING better to do than read books on vampires, well,
this is much, much better than Twilight, because in my opinion, NO real man
sparkles! Unless of course you live in Stephanie Meyers fantasy of a clumsy
teenager winning the hearts of not one, but two mythical creatures.
ANYWHO!!
The Vampire Diaries is a really good series of books, which I would recommend to
anyone within reason, e.g. you like blood, gore, and romance. Now, I’ve read
the series more than once (as I said, no social life :P) The Awakening and The
Struggle is the first two books of The Vampire Diaries mashed together. It
follows the school life of Miss Popular, Elena Gilbert. Well, what can I say,
pretty, blonde, smart, has a group of people trailing behind her, it’s the
typical stereotype of the perfect American teenager!! This is what we think at
the beginning of the novel, when the Salvatore brother’s first move to Fell’s
Church, but of course, it changes rapidly. What? How does it change? you may
ask in awe, well, firstly, Elena ditches her boyfriend, Matt. Secondly, she has
all of her friends hunt down vital information on tall, dark, and handsome. Thirdly,
after getting tall, dark and handsome, she has a running with his brother, not
so tall, twice as dark, and scary. Now, after this running, things just flop in
my opinion, I found myself skipping pages to get to the juicy bits! Which she
writes AMAZINGLY may I add. Anywhoo, there’s murder, accusation, and death. DEATH???
Yes, death. Elena, on their little celebration day, dies!! But because she has drunk
from both Stefan and Damon, she has enough vampire blood within her veins to “revive”
herself.
I
found this book amazing, well... the juicy bits, and the sweet bits. So, I
STRONGLY recommend you read it, or I will just spam you the book title :P
Keep
reading my little Booklings!!!!!!!!
