The Vampire Diaries - The Fury

This book has some interesting twists. Someone is terrorizing Fell's Church a new mystery evil that has taken over Fell's Church. The trouble in store is more then they could have imagined and the results of the evil is more then expected.

Bonnie learns more about her powers. Damon learns he is not quite as evil has he would like everyone to think he is. Stefan both gains and looses a lot. And last but not least, Elana goes through the most of all. The ends in a surprise that shows the true colors and strength of each character.

One of my favorite parts of this book is that you get to learn a lot about Stefan and Damon's past. Where they came from, how they were turned vampire and most importantly, what came between them.

I hated putting this book down. The book had such a fast pace that it keept me interested from start to finish.

The Vampire Diaries - The Struggle

This book picks up where the last ended. And of course there is lots of trouble on the verge of happening. Between Caroline, and Damon, there is no rest for Stefan and Elana. With the help of Bonnie and Meredith everyone gets out mostly unscathed and surprisingly, Damon is not the baddest bad.

As Caroline tries to destroy Elana's reputation. She steals Elana's diary a perfect weapon filled with secretes. Damon continues tries to steal her away from Damon. A feat he has put a lot of effort into with few results. Damon could have never guessed what his efforts would lead to.

Stefan takes the ultimant leap with Elana when he asks her a very big question, one that drives Damon off the edge. Elana's family is not 100% on board with the marriage either. This is a wedge that is the start of a deep cut that will tear many apart.

After the Founder's Day ceremony Elana runs out of fear to a place she thinks she will be safe But safety in Fell's Church is hard to find, and unfortunately Elana misses her mark and it sends her down a path much different then the one she had hoped to be on.

Every once and a while the sky is magical. It has this painterly feel to it. The light is so perfect, the clouds look as though they have been sculpted and perfected. It makes me feel like I'm in a painting done by a great master. I love moments like that.
