Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling series!
The first book in L.J. Smith’s New York Times bestselling Vampire Diaries series, the basis of the hit CW TV show starring Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder.
Elena Gilbert is a high school golden girl, used to getting what she wants. And who she wants. But when the boy she’s set her sights on—the handsome and haunted Stefan—isn’t interested, she’s confused. She could never know the real reason Stefan is struggling to resist her:
Stefan is a vampire, and Elena’s in danger just by being around him. What’s more, Stefan’s dark, dangerous vampire brother Damon has just arrived in town. And wherever Damon goes, trouble always follows.
Fans of The Vampire Diaries TV show will find this book packed with the same kind of heart-stopping suspense, fierce romances, and jaw-dropping surprises that they know and love, all brought to life by New York Times bestselling author L.J. Smith.

"Many of the reviews said that this was a super cheesy and not worth reading book. i have to say otherwise! I have seen the CW TV series and I am a sucker for teen drama shows, but this book was different from what I expected. Some parts of the show are the same as the book but there is ALOT that is different which I like because I don't already know whats about to happen, I just know the general direction it will head. I recommend the book and I cant wait to read the rest of the series."

" I'm in love with the series and have finished it several times on Netflix. Decided to read the books after watching the series. I wasn't as impressed by the books and I probably wouldn't have watched the show if I had read the first book, first. I'm going to give the next one a shot now that I know the book is a lot different. See if I can power through the book series, just to say that I had. "

" It wasn't really good, but I have read much worse books. I enjoy the tv series a lot more. Although I will probably read the rest of them to see what happens. "

" Although this is a young adult book, it is still a great series to read. Especially if you like the TV serious. "

" I loved this book and read it within 24 hours. Felt as though I was watching a film it was that gripping at times! "
— Lorraine, 9/16/2012 -
" A lot different from the TV series - quite unfortunate for me since I only knew this book existed through the series. In this book, Elena has a little sister while in the series she has a younger brother. "

" The teen angst was a little too much for me in this book. So far, I don't understand the crazy love for the TV show. But then again, I've only seen clips. I'll give the next book a chance before I ditch this series. "

" Ordinary Young Adult vampire/human love triangle between two brothers interested in the same teen girl. Quick looks into the brother's past few hundred years provides some background information on how they lived up until the current day. "
— Christina, 5/5/2011 -
" Not bad. Not a lot happening. Perhaps the second book will be more interesting. "
— Fiona, 5/1/2011 -
" It's a very great novel. You'll enjoy the ride while reading it and great action/battle scenes! I also like the love triangle of Elena,Stefan ,and Damon. "
— Gelow_21, 4/30/2011 -
" The characters are incredibly underwritten, the story underdeveloped. The television series took some mediocre bones and developed them into something far more compelling. "
