Featured Article: The Vampire Diaries Character Guide


The Vampire Diaries is a sweeping saga that revolves around Elena Gilbert, a young mortal woman living in the small town of Fells Church, Virginia, and Damon and Stefan Salvatore, vampire brothers who are vying for her affections. Forces of good and evil play out across the town as nearly everyone they know becomes wrapped up in paranormal intrigue, especially when old enemies and ancient forces come to visit. Spanning 13 novels written over 20 years, the series has inspired a long-running television adaptation and unofficial spin-offs. Needless to say, there’s a lot of characters to keep track of.

The endings are always so dramatic

The endings are always so dramatic and I love it because you never know what’s going to happen next because it does not follow the TV show

enjoyed in one night.

better than the first book, but still a bit juvenile. a friend says they get better as you go, so I will try the next one.

Love the dynamics

I really want more Elena /Damon interaction. The narrator is pretty good too. That is important when you listen to a series and i think they made the right choice in Rebecca Mozo.

I love this series

Book 2 engaged me more with Elena’s struggle and Damon becoming more of a major character. Bonnie’s nature is revealed as well.

I just don’t know about this..

I am trying hard to like this but it’s so different than the tv show and I hate this Caroline and this Elaina is a cry baby and none of these girls act like they could find their way out of a paper bag if their lives depended on it!! This Stefano seams like a weak person and this Damon is more evil than anything.. these books have no finesse at all, don’t seam to flow well together.. I want to read the rest of the book in the series but it’s almost painful just getting through this one..
