Questions

Stefan-

Hi! I've been reading several vampire book's lately, and I noticed a common theme. In many of the books, the girl always gives up everything to be with the vampire. Whether it's friends or their humanity, they normally don't care about anything else expect their super hot vampire boyfriend. I have a question for everybody. "Is it right to give up everything for a boy?"

Synopsis pt. 2

Elena in the graveyard.

Hey! Here's the second part of the book's synopsis.

Where we last left off, Elena was marching off to face Damon. She was successful at summoning him. He appears, and they talk. He wants to turn her into a vampire, but she knows he is nothing but evil and refuses. He becomes enraged and leaves, promising she will be his by the first snow of winter.

When Elena returns to her house, she talks Bonnie and Meredith into helping her find Stefan. They use Bonnie's Psychic powers to find him. He was thrown into a well. They save him and take him to his house.

Elena barely manages to stop the girl's from taking him to a hospital, which would show what he really was.

When Elena returns to school, she is greeted by silence. Everyone believes Stefan is the murder, and she is being shunned for dating him. Still, she refuses to break up with him. Another surprise awaits her at school. They have a new teacher to replace Mr. Tanner. Alaric K. Saltzman immediately starts off the class by having everyone talk about Mr. Tanner's death, and then invites (and demands everybody to come) to a party at his house.

At the party, Stefan and Elena see Damon. Stefan and Damon get into a bit of argument, causing Elena and Stefan to leave. The incident appeared odd to Elena's friends, who demand answers. Elena explains, leaving out the supernatural, that she and Stefan know that Damon has been committing the murders.

The next day, Vickie returns to school. She is acting odd, which is because she is partly under Damon's control.

Sometime later, Elena spends the night at Bonnie's house, and is attacked by Damon. She freaks out and demands to go home.

Later, Stefan appears with vervain, a plant that will protect her mind from mind control. she doesn't tell him about the attack, not wanting to worry him.

Elena eventually realizes Caroline was the one who stole her diary. Caroline and Tyler planned on using evidence in her diary to convince the town Stefan is the murderer. Tyler hopes the town will turn into a mob and kill him. The girl's break into Caroline's house to find Elena's diary, but fails to. Yet, Elena does have another encounter with Damon there. He offers to help. For a price, of course.

Her refusal angers him. He responds by tricking Elena's aunt and soon-to-be uncle into inviting him over for dinner. He can now go into her house when ever he pleases.

That night, Damon comes. He threatens Elena's little sister, so Elena willingly let's him drink her blood.

Time passes, and Elena is becoming frantic. The Founders' Day celebration is approaching, and she still doesn't have her diary. When the day arrives, she is stunned when Caroline's and Tyler's plans are foiled at the last second. Damon of all people saved them. He did it for his own purposes of course, but still, they were saved.

Their happiness won't last long. Elena is attacked by an unknown force, and appears to drown to death. Stefan blames Damon, and he marches off to fight to the death with him. This is where the second book ends.

Synopsis

Hi! It's me again. Now, I'm sure at least one person who has stumbled across my blog has no idea what the Vampire Diaries are. So I'll give you quick synopsis of the book so you'll know what I'm talking about later on.

The first thing the book does is introduce us to Elena. Elena is the queen of Robert E. Lee High. Every boy wants to date her, and every girl wants to be her. When the new school year starts, several surprises are in store for her. First, she has a showdown with her former friend Caroline, who vows to throw Elena off her throne, and second, there is a hot new boy at the school.

The new boy is handsome and mysterious. Elena must have him. Yet he won't give her the time of day, which mortally embarrasses Elena. After he ignores her, Elena does vows to make him hers.

While Elena is scheming, Stefan is worrying. You see, Stefan is a vampire. And he may be in love with Elena. She looks almost exactly like Katherine, the vampire who turned him and his brother. They were both in love with her, and unwilling to share. In a fit if grief, Katherine killed herself by going into the sun without her ring that prevented the sun from harming her. Stefan might love her, so he wants to stay away from her for her own good.

A series of events lead to the school dance, where several key events happen. The starting point would Stefan showing up to the dance with Caroline. This horrified Elena. She tired to hind her grief by hanging out with a couple of rowdy boys and their dates. The teens eventually go to the town's cemetery after the dance, and trouble begins.

When the group arrives at the cemetery, many events happen. Vickie Bennett is attacked by a yet to be named source, and Stefan is made to believe he may have done it. Another horrible event was when Tyler tried to attack Elena. Stefan, who was there at the time, managed to save her.

After the attack, Elena and Stefan kiss. The next day, Stefan tries to break up with her. She refuses. She is convinced she is in love with her, and that he is too. She also notes in her diary that Stefan appears to be hiding something from her.

Meanwhile, Elena, Bonnie, and Meredith start to plan the school's haunted house for Halloween. One night while working on it, a college-aged boy appears, and tries to make Elena kiss him. She nearly does so, but stops herself at the last minute. Her refusal seems to interest him.

A little while later, Elena goes to a slumber party at Bonnie's house. She brings her diary, which will be stolen later that night. While at the slumber party, the girl's conduct a dumb supper to find out who Elena's future husband will be, Stefan doesn't appear, but the college-age boy appears. This time the boy reacts in anger when she refuses to kiss him.

Elena begins to notice how sad and haunted Stefan is. She is also concerned because he seems to be drawing away from her.

Time has passed and it is time for the haunted house. During the event, a tragedy happens. A teacher is murder. Tyler, bitter that Stefan stopped him, convinces everyone that Stefan is the killer. Stefan tries to flee, and Elena follows. She finds him with blood on his lips and dead birds on the floor. She then finds out about Stefan's vampirism. She allows him to feed off of her.

During Stefan's confessions, she finds out about Stefan's evil brother Damon. She believes he is responsible for the violence the town has been experiencing. She also identify him as the mysterious college-age boy she keeps meeting.

After Elena leaves Stefan goes into the woods and uses his Power to call Damon. Damon arrives and the brother's fight. Damon admits to the killings and attacks Stefan.

After Stefan goes missing Elena starts to worry. She goes to the cemetery and summons Damon.

This is where the first book ends. I'll have the second book up tomorrow (It was two books in one.) Like I said before, this was just a quick synopsis. It may be a little long to be considered quick, but it is only the bare minimum of the first part of the book.

Opinions

Hey! This will be a blog dedicated the the book The Vampire Diaries 1 and 2, The Awakening and The Struggle. I want to start off by giving my opinion of the book. I didn't like it at first. It seemed the book went out of it's way to make Elena seem prefect. I even called her a Mary-Sue (A character that the author makes completely prefect. No flaws, everyone likes her, etc) I later realized it was mostly just because we saw this from Elena's point of view, so her flaws weren't given much notice.

Anyway, like I said, I didn't like this book at first. Over time through, it grew on me. I don't know if it was some form of Stockholm syndrome or what... but by the end I kinda liked it. I wouldn't really call it an excellent book, but it wasn't too bad. I might even read the sequal. I think someone who enjoyed Twilight would like this book.
