“I liked this one better than the first one because the characters are a little more developed in this one. The relationship deepens with Stefan. I really like the ending to the book. But I wont go into detail here so I don't spoil it for someone who hasn't read the books yet. This book reminded me a little more why I used to be in love with this series in junior high. The writing is still a little shallow for me at times but everything a was a little more developed in this book than in the previous book.”

The addition of Damon in Elena's life make it more than an "ok" book for teenager like the way [The Awakening] is. Damon made Elena's life more than just romance with Stefan.
I would say that this series doesn't really suit working adults. But if you are a teenager - young adult, why not ?”
“Great read for young adults!”

They had a falling out over a girl. The girl actually. The girl that made them the way they are. The girl that resembles Elena. Damon is the opposite of Stefan sure he has the good looks, he might even be hotter, but he is dangerous. And he will do anything to make Stefan miserable. Including stealing Elena. After Elena finds Stefan in the aftermath of Damon’s wrath he is almost to the point of death. Damon has warned Elena that she will be his or else. So begins the tangled web of deception. Damon deceiving Elena in anyway he can, and Elena deceiving Stefan, the only way she feels she can protect him. Elena is being tormented with fragments of her stolen diary. Her diary that talks of a secret Stefan is hiding. Which can be interpreted that he may be the murderer the Fell’s Church police department are looking for, even though it isn’t true. Elena finds out who stole her diary and what they plan to do, but she is powerless against it, unless she asks Damon for help and takes his deal in return. But something happens to Elena that will change her relationship with Stefan forever. ”

If you like this series, I would deffinetly recommend the sets (also by the gifted writer, L.J. Smith): The Forbidden Game, The Secret Circle and Dark Visions. Though contrary to a lot of opinion, I liked this trilogy the least out of the others that I have listed but the only way to deduce for yourself which is the best is to read them all - so get crackin'!”
“Loved this book when I was a teenager... I read it so many times!”

Stefan and Damon are soooo cool!”
