Dark, gripping and romantic - read the books that inspired the phenomenal Netflix vampire series. Book 5 in the Vampire Diaries series from bestselling author L. J. Smith. Elena Gilbert is alive - again. When Elena sacrificed herself to save the two vampire brothers who love her she was consigned to a fate beyond death. Until a powerful supernatural force pulled her back. Now Elena is not just human. She has powers. What's more, her blood pulses with a unique force that makes her irresistible to any vampire. Both brothers still want Elena to be theirs, but something bigger and more powerful than all of them may want her more... Darker than Twilight, more punch than Buffy and bloodier than True Blood - enjoy this romance with real bite...

Before saying what I thought of it, can I note that the writer isn't L. J. Smith! It's a ghost writer hired by Alloy. So I guess I know why the story began to suck...
What I loved:
- The complex situation of the relationships.
- All the characters except Elena's.
- The mystery and the aspect of the plot.
- The end was so good it saved the book from getting two (2/5) stars.
What I hated:
So many things:
- Elena's character.
- The writing style
- The turn of events when you switch a writer.
- And most importantly the amount of love scenes that aren't even good ones. They were disgusting, even to me who adore vampires.
