4-18-09 The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith - Fiction

3 - This is the first two books of the series: The Awakening and The Struggle. If you are really desperate for something to replace the Twilight series you can read these, but the eternal love/soulmate storyline will seem shallow. If you need to replace the House of Night series you can also try this but the struggle between factions also seems shallow. there is not enough character development to make the reader care about the characters or story beyond a curiosity about where it's going. I won't be reading the next two books unless I run out of other titles to read. I recommend reading the Twilight or House of Night series instead.
