    “I don't really like reading books. When I read books, it's like once in a blue moon. I saw this book (the second one, The Fury and The Dark Reunion) on the bookstore's new arrivals area. I felt the sudden interest within me, so I went back after 2 weeks or so to buy the book. And I'm not wrong. The story, settings and twists was really great. And I find myself falling in love with Stefan Salvatore...haha”
