Vampire Diaries

So I think that I am a much better reader than I am blogger.  I read 6 books in the last month or so and haven't posted about any of them, oops!  Today I am going to catch up on what I've been putting off (in order to read more, haha).

I started reading the Vampire Diaries series after the show first started.  They are pretty good books, but not my favourite.  They are completely different from the show, other than the character names, so maybe that is what initially put me off a bit.  The book that I just read is called Vampire Diaries The Return: Midnight volume 3.  This series is written by L.J. Smith and is written from Elena Gilbert's point of view.

In this book, Elena, Bonnie, Meredith, and Damon have returned from the Dark Dimension and Damon accidently made himself human after taking a present that was meant for Stefan (so he and Elena could be together as humans - Stefan is a vampire).  Now, Damon is set on finding a way back to the Dark Dimension so that he can find a powerful vampire to turn him back.  Meanwhile, the evil fox twins are still destroying Fells Church (the town that Elena and her friends live in) and controlling all of the kids to who live there. 

Damon and Bonnie end up back in the Dark Dimension so that he can become a vampire again.  Elena and Stefan meet up with them there to try to destroy the biggest star ball to try to save Fells Church.  Matt, Meredith, and Mrs. Flowers stay behind to try to save the kids there and deal with the fox twins if they show up.

This book does have a somewhat happy ending; Fells Church is saved, Elena and her friends are able to return to a normal life, but Damon needs saving that none of his friends can help him with.  I assume that the next three books of this series are more about Damon finding himself a way back to Fells Church and maybe Elena.  Not sure if I am going to continue with this series - it is interesting, a lot of very strange ideas, places, and characters, but sometimes a little too strange, even for me, haha.  We shall see...
