The New York Times bestselling series!
The first book in L.J. Smith’s New York Times bestselling Vampire Diaries series, the basis of the hit CW TV show starring Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder.
Elena Gilbert is a high school golden girl, used to getting what she wants. And who she wants. But when the boy she’s set her sights on—the handsome and haunted Stefan—isn’t interested, … boy she’s set her sights on—the handsome and haunted Stefan—isn’t interested, she’s confused. She could never know the real reason Stefan is struggling to resist her:
Stefan is a vampire, and Elena’s in danger just by being around him. What’s more, Stefan’s dark, dangerous vampire brother Damon has just arrived in town. And wherever Damon goes, trouble always follows.
Fans of The Vampire Diaries TV show will find this book packed with the same kind of heart-stopping suspense, fierce romances, and jaw-dropping surprises that they know and love, all brought to life by New York Times bestselling author L.J. Smith.

I finally read this book. I love the series and finally got around to “reading”, or actually listening to, where it all began on Audible. Love the narrator and the differences between the CW series and the books. I’m impressed that the story line didn’t feel dated. Kudos to the author for portraying teens and tortured vampires in a way that they …
Pathetic.
I read this book YEARS ago, and I remember really enjoying/immersing myself and loving how L.J. Smith would create these relationships/worlds with Elena, Bonnie, Stefan & Damon; and to be honest, no one really cared for Caroline (she was a mean girl) or Tyler (he was an Azz-Hat), either. LOL For those of you who fell in love with the show however, …
So, a decade behind everyone else, I’m just working my way through the TV series.
Because I read this book after watching TVD, I found the differences were quite jarring but I loved it anyway.
Would definitely recommend although if, like me, you’ve see Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley as Damon and Stefan before reading the book, it’ll be difficult …
i really love the tvd, it is so entertaining and fun. I noticed that it is different than the tv series, so i just treated it like a whole new show
everything is perfect in this
love this
so intresting
The website said it was free but i had to pay for the books.
I am a fan of The Vampire Diaries TV show and finally got around to reading this book. By the first chapter, I noticed a lot of differences from the show, which I totally understand as telling stories on TV is a lot different than with a book. So I treated it as a completely different story.
But that being said, I did not enjoy this story at …
This book was terrible. I don’t know if I feel that way because I watched the show first and then read the book. But the show is VERY loosely based on the book, and thank God it was otherwise the show wouldn’t have been even remotely good. In this version Elena Gilbert is a self centered girl that thinks everything and everyone should only dote on …
This is a favorite from my teenage years that hasn’t exactly stood the test of time. The writing feels old, which isn’t a bad thing necessarily, but does make it harder to read. However, nostalgia is a powerful force, and I’m recommending it because it should be required reading (or at least attempted reading, because not everyone will get through …
this book i love it i want to read all of this book and all of them and someday day i want to meet the person made the book so i can talk to him/her so yeah i want to read them all
I was quickly sucked into this book. Once I started reading, I could not stop (which is weird because the whole book was somewhat predictable!)
I have not seen the TV show and did not know anything about the book/TV show other than it was about vampires.
This book was more on the YA side for me (not complaining). Also for me, It was a mix between …
It’s more like a comedy soap-opera. My favorite couple is Stelena. It’s a little inappropriate like the first season like girls in bikini’s are washing cars.
I love this an the author who wrote it.
