A series of books that came out in the early 90's. It focuses on a popular, pretty blonde
girl named Elena Gilbert who is after the new and mysterious boy at
school from Italy, Stefan Salvatore.
Stefan, we soon discover, is a vampire who avoids Elena because she has an uncanny resemblance to a girl that he and his (sexy, badass) brother, Damon Salvatore, both fell in love with (
Katherine Von Swartzschild) centuries ago. Both brothers murdered one another after
Katherine killed herself and separated once they awoke in their vampiric state confused. Cut to the present and strange things begin to happen once
Stefan arrives into town.
The Vampire Diaries series consists of:
The Awakening
The Struggle
The Fury
Dark Reunion
The Return: Nightfall
The Return: Shadow Souls (Release: 2/9/10)
The Return: Midnight (Release: 2010)
The CW has announced that they will be making a show based on the books. It will premiere on Sept. 10th, 2009 (which will change the look of the characters, history of the characters, eliminate/add characters, etc) YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
I will choose The Vampire Diaries over
Twilight because it has a better
plot, more
supernatural beings, characters with personalitites, and because it's main character is the furthest thing from a Mary Sue.
