New York Times bestselling series
The Return: Shadow Souls is the sixth book in L.J. Smith’s New York Times bestselling Vampire Diaries series.
Elena Gilbert is once again at the center of magic and danger beyond her imagining. And this time, Stefan isn’t there to help. Stefan is held prisoner in the Dark Dimension—a world where vampires and demons roam free, and where humans are at the command of their supernatural betters. To save the man she loves, Elena is forced to trust her life to his handsome, but deadly brother Damon. Damon has never concealed his love for Elena, and as the tension between them rises, Elena must face a terrible decision: which brother does she really want to be with?
The Return: Shadow Souls is perfect for fans of the hit CW TV show The Vampire Diaries, as well as fans of the original New York Times bestselling series who can’t wait to see what happens next with Elena, Stefan, and Damon.

"It's off to the Dark Dimension for Elena, Meredith, Bonnie, and Damon so they can rescue Stefan. The cover, with Damon on the cover, I suppose, is one of the bad covers in the series. Though I still like the logo. But it didn't stop me from enjoying the book. The plot. The characters. The writing. :)"

— Kacey, 12/24/2013" both good who can choose both brothers kinky "
— Yelena, 12/3/2013" Honestly, the quality of the writing and the story line has gone down significantly with these books. The first few were fast-moving, fun reads. The last few have been boring, sluggish, and borderline bad, but I can't leave the series unfinished, so I'll slog through the new few I suppose. "
— Christine, 11/27/2013" It was better than the first in the Return series. I thought this book would wrap everything up but it seems like there's going to be another. "
— Carissa, 9/18/2013" Some parts are slow and some parts had me on edge.. but I did really enjoy it.. "
— Cathryn, 11/8/2012" Loved it, love damon! <3 "
— Ashtyn, 10/15/2012" Wow, the author was really eating her Crazy-Flakes when she wrote this book. I suspect that she was also eating some Bad-Writing-Flakes. "

— Meagan, 6/6/2012" Not a big Vampire Diaries fan. I am still reading them simply because I have a hard time NOT finishing something. "
— Erin, 5/11/2012" It was very captivating and I stayed up practically all night just to finish it, but then again, the first part of the series that was originally written in the 90's was so much better. "
— Meghan, 4/10/2012" I didn't like this one as much as the other books, but I was definitely satisfied with the ending!! I can't wait to read the next book!! "
— Michaela, 11/25/2011" Shadow Souls brings back characters Stefan, Elena, and Damon for yet another round of trying to save Fells Church from being taken over by demons. This book will be best understood by The Vampire Diaries readers who have seen the characters progress. "
— Kristelle, 10/2/2011" i m sad it didnt end at all like i was hoping i think elana should be with damon not stefan but ah what ever and damon should def not be human but we shall see what happens when the next book comes out "

— Katie, 4/18/2011" I am just not enjoying the Shadow Soul series of the Vamp Diaries... "
— Kristi, 4/16/2011" This was probably the best book of the series so far, there were a few things about it that I didn't like, but this book was the first in the series to take the characters into a very fantasy infused storyline. A very enjoyable read. "
— Pisces19, 4/16/2011" These books just keep getting better...I can't wait to see how it all ends with Damon and Elena....I am bored with Stefan! "
— Debbie, 4/15/2011" Once I puked in my mouth after Stefen called Elana his "little lovely, love, love". I decided that was it. I could not read another page. The first four books were so good. What happened?????? "
— Shelley, 4/13/2011" was a little disappointed with this book as i loved the first couple of books in this serious,but found this one quite long and sometimes a bit boring,i will read the next book -midnight,and im hoping this one will be better also i wouldlove to see elena choose damon!!! "
