The devil you know. With the help of charming and devious Damon, Elena rescued her vampire love, Stefan, from the depths of the Dark Dimension. But neither brother returned unscathed. Stefan is weak from his long imprisonment and needs more blood than Elena alone can give him, while a strange magic has turned Damon into a human. Savage and desperate, Damon will do anything to become a vampire again, even travel back to hell. But what will happen when he accidentally takes Bonnie with him?

I need to say that this book is far from the best book in this series. The ending was very good but the rest of the book was much weaker.

Elena, is such a d-bag. She is the most selfish thoughtless character I’ve ever read about (so far at least). There is one point in this book where she gets jealous when Damon takes Bonnie instead of her to a upside down version of the world. Even thou she spent the previous 5 books telling us how much she loves Stefan and how much she hates Damon.

When it comes to Stefan, he would be a very good character if he wasn’t acting like a child who is blind with love for Elena. And makes every possible excuse for her mistakes.

Bonnie is a very weak, helpless and dumb character. She basically is like a 6 year old girl not a teenager.

The only character who is interesting in this entire book is Meredith however we don’t get to learn a lot about her because this book focuses on the love triangle between Elena, Stefan and Damon.

The plot in this book was boring and uninteresting. And after reading this book, I couldn’t believe that this series was the motivation of the TV show which I really enjoyed.

The other thing about this plot is that this book is the 3 book about the gang fighting the kitsune and his sibling.  It’s like this series can’t move past this, and stretches a very boring topic endlessly.

The writing style here was very good, it was easily the best thing about this book, and it played a role in me giving a higher rating than I wanted to.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
