Book Reviews of The Vampire Diaries: The Fury and Dark ReunionBook Review: Twilight WHAT??? *Spoiler alert* Summary: 5 Stars
***SPOILER ALERTS****STOP READING IF YOU DON"T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!*** YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!*****
Let me start off by saying this--I didn't think that another series would make me fall in love with a character more than I fell in love with Edward and Bella in "Twilight". Being a vampire fan, I've read all the "Sookie Stackhouse" books, all the "Twilight" ones and have tackled the huge volume of a book that is "Interview with the Vampire". I cried when Edward left Bella, I was REALLY upset when Stephenie Meyer said that "Breaking Dawn" was the last book in the saga, Eric Northman makes my toes curl (in the good way), and LeStat is quite possibly the vampire that I would never want to meet in a dark alley. I'll admit that I hadn't given much thought to "The Vampire Diaries" books until the CW decided turn the books into a TV series. And why shouldn't they? The Twilight Saga is HUGELY successful on the big screen and True Blood on HBO had me hooked from the first bite :) I was wary to pick up another vampire book though, thinking that nothing would compare to the ones previously talked about. My interest was peaked, however, after watching the pilot episode for "Vampire Diaries" a few weeks ago. I immediately went to the store and snatched up a copy of the first book. It took a few chapters to hook me--I picked up on too many editing mistakes and it bothered me, but I trudged on, deciding to give it a chance. And let me tell you-it was worth staying up until 7am to finish. I think that I may love the relationship between Elena and Stefan MORE than Bella and Edwards or Sookie and Erics (even though it's hardly one at all). This series is everything that Twilight isn't in respect to maturity. While the cheesy romance lines in Twilight are cute, the realness of the relationship between Stefan and Elana once they finally get together is beautiful, and my heart literally breaks in two whenever LJ Smith paints a picture of what Stefan's eyes look like when he thinks of his past. The plot lines are darker in this series than that in Twilight as well, making it feel, again, that it's an older read. True, they both hail from the YA category, but I don't necessarily feel like I'm reading fluff with these books. Definitely give this series a shot. As soon as I was finished with book one and two, I went and bought three and four and just finished them tonight. In book 4, I'm fairly sure that my heart shattered when Elana was pulled back into the darkness and Stefan screamed her name. LJ Smith wrote it SO beautifully that you would have to have a heart made of stone to NOT be affected by it. I had tears flowing out of my eyes for the entire rest of the book. Frankly, this series is better written than Twilight was and it came out WAY before Twilight was even a dream in Stephenie's head. READ THIS SERIES--I promise that you won't regret it!
