Elena Gilbert's relationship with
Stefan Salvatore, the boy she loves, continues. Yet she must keep
his true nature a secret, and feels caught up in a web of lies.
Damon, Stefan's jealous brother, persistently pursues Elena, eager to
have her for himself. He comes to her at night, as if in a dream.
Sure enough, though, she soon realizes those tiny pin pricks at her
throat are all too real. Desperate to protect everyone she loves,
sometimes from one another, Elena feels overwhelmed. One dark,
stormy night, fleeing from danger, she drives her friend Matt's car
off the Wickery Bridge into the cold water below . . . .
This is the second book in the series,
and clips along at a fast, easy to read pace, just as the first book,
“The Awakening”. (I finished it in just two days.) I actually
enjoyed this second book just a little better than I did the original
novel. The story has been made into the popular television series of
the same name, although fans of the show will find some differences
in the details. Readers who have not yet seen the show will enjoy
the books for the engaging paranormal romance story that they are,
appropriate for young adult readers on up.
I found my copy in the local branch
library.
