Now that a supernatural force has brought Elena back from the dead, all handsome, brooding Stefan wants is to keep her safe. But when he is lured away from Fell’s Church, sleek, powerful Damon seizes his chance to win Elena over, unaware of the danger they’re both in. A malevolent being has infiltrated the town and is growing stronger. Able to possess Damon at will, the creature is also drawn to Elena and the new power she has acquired. But it’s after more than Elena’s power: It thirsts for her death.

This book is the first book in the “The Vampire Diaries: The Return” series which is a continuation of the first 4 books in this series. 

This book take place a day or 2 after the events of book 4 in this series. It took me a more time to finish this book than the previous 4 books in this series. And in my opinion this book is so far the weakest book in The Vampire Diaries book series. 

The majority of this book happened to be boring, and only the last 40 pages were very interesting. But the 90% of this book feels like the author trying to fill up the space and have a long book. 

The beginning of this book was somehow cute but it could have been interesting but it turned out to be pretty boring with some cute moments here and there. And the middle part of this book was super boring and all I wanted is to skip it but of course I couldn’t. 

The characters here become more likeable and more enjoyable. And the characters also become more relatable. 

The plot here was very weird and I honestly needed to think about for couple of days before I’ve began writing this review. The plot here was super weird and very random which really surprised me because I wasn’t expecting it. But this in a way got me more interested to continue to read this series which I will do.

The writing style here was very easy as in the previous books. And it really made a good mix with the easy and strange plot. 

To be fully honest this book felt more like a fan fiction than a continuation of the first 4 books in this series.

This book didn’t end at a cliffhanger it rather felt like it was a happy ending to the series. But of course it isn’t since there are more books in this series. Which really made me disappoint because it really doesn’t give us a reason to continue to read the series.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
