Book Review: "The Vampire Diaries: The Fury" (Volume 3), by L. J. Smith

      The story of the love triangle between Elena Gilbert and brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore continues in this third volume in the four volume series. Elena, now a vampire, starts to come to grips with her new reality. Damon, ever the bad boy, is pleased to now have Elena's attention. Stefan, devastated that Elena has turned, reconsiders his relationship with his estranged brother. Meanwhile, some of Elena's friends realize all is not as they once thought in their small town, as a dark supernatural force is at work behind the scenes. To discover who or what is trying to harm the Mortals, Elena will have to get Damon and Stefan to work together somehow. Can she manage it? The safety of her family depends on it.

      Fans of the television series will notice a lot of differences between the original novels and what they've seen on the screen. Still, if you are reading the books to enjoy them for what they are, without worrying about making comparisons, you will not be disappointed. Suspense, romance, and the battle between good and evil – even waged within the individual – are all part of the story. This third novel in the series introduces Katherine as an actual character, not just as a memory held by Stefan and Damon. Of course, she is up to no good! This is a fun read, decently written and easy to breeze through.
