About this ebook

The #1 New York Times bestselling series that inspired the hit TV show The Vampire Diaries!

A deadly love triangle.

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.

Perfect for fans of Midnight Sun, The Beautiful, and Crave, this first book in the New York Times bestselling Vampire Diaries series by L. J. Smith will introduce new readers to the heart-stopping suspense, fierce romances, and jaw-dropping surprises that captured millions of fans and inspired the hit TV show. 

Ratings and reviews

This book is very well writen. Some may not like Elena's atitude (I don't like the way elena acts,she is selfish and seems self centered) at all but i am one that likes a good well written story, but then if you think about it elena is very populer (not that all populer girls are rude, but some are) so i guess it depends on the readers own experiances in terms of relating the charecters to your world. I will admit like most others i was brought here by the television show but this book is very different from the show but still worth the read i think.

I really love this book.firstly i watch full series of the vampire dairies on netflix and i love that❤...thats why i've decided to read the book this series,there is some difference in book and series like in book elena had blond hairs but in series she had brown hair, and in book elena love stefan but in series firstly she loved stefan but when she became vampire she fall in love with damon....these are some difference but i love both of the book and series of the vampire dairies💓

I give it a 5 ...Dear readers u were supposed to give ur rating on the basis of story nd the way of writing..not on your likes nd dislikes of the characters...
