Imagine that, I read another vampire book. Maybe people making comments about me loving vampire stuff are onto something. Sookie Stackhouse series, Twilight, Vegas Vampires….yeah I’ve read a few.
Well finally I caved and decided to read The Vampire Diaries by LJ Smith. I used a date a guy that made fun of me so bad saying that I would love the show. Note, I never watched it. I forget what it ran the same time as but I had something else I loved to watch. Plus I didn’t want him to be right. He did admit to watching and liking it though. Anyways, the book caught my attention the other day and honestly, once I started, I couldn’t put it down.
As stories go, it wasn’t anything groundbreaking. Vampire love triangle. Hmm, seen that in lots of books. Personally, I was a fan of the Eric, Bill, Sookie one (team Eric). The flashback’s in Smith’s book are an interesting way of setting up the story.
So far I have only read The Awakening. It was basically a lot of set up for the other stories from what I can tell. We get some story on all the main characters and it sets up some town drama. It got me hooked so I can’t wait to start the next part of the series.
The Awakening reminded me of The Immortal Series by Alyson Noel. You’ve got the new kid that is dark, mysterious a from Italy. Someone like him followed him. Actually come to think about it, in the third Immortal book, Shadowland, a sort of brother like character shows up and trys to steal the girl. The main character is a girl that is super pretty. Popular in one case but not in another. Noel’s series is more original though in my opinion. I absolutely love her books and can’t wait for Dark Flame.
As for the tv series, I am currently trying to find the episodes online. If someone knows where to find them, let me know. I only see the latest four. If I’m going to watch them, I want to start from the beginning. Once I watch, I’ll try to do some comparing stuff.
So, what is your favorite vampire book?
