Elena Gilbert is a small town girl,
pretty and popular. Strange things start happening around the town
of Fell's Church, right about the time a mysterious young man shows
up. Stefan Salvatore is handsome and charming, and Elena falls for
him, hard. But she feels like she's being watched, and it isn't long
before Stefan's dark and frightening brother, Damon, tries to lure
Elena away from him. While most of the town blames Stefan for two
recent murders, Elena knows he is innocent. Yet, she also knows he
keeps a dark secret that no one would understand!
Fans of the hit CW television series
will be familiar with most of the story line and characters here.
However, they should be prepared for several differences. Some names
were changed for the television show. Instead of a vampire hunting
brother, Elena (a blonde in the book series) has a 4 year old sister.
Caroline is a catty redhead. Those who have not seen the TV series
will still enjoy the books, as they are well told paranormal romance
novels for a young adult (and older) audience. These books are fast
paced and I read this first book in just a few days.
I picked up my copy of this first
book, “The Awakening”, in a thrift shop, but my local library
branch has the entire series. Look for my review of the second book,
“The Struggle”. I hope to continue reading the other books in
the set after my next trip to the local library.
