Summary
The New York Times best-selling series!
The first book in L.J. Smith's New York Times best-selling 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, 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 best-selling author L.J. Smith.

Don't think TV Series
Any additional comments?
This is a lovely story and it is easy to hear and imagine the inspiration for the TV series, but it has enough uniqueness that you'll be listening, even if to go 'that's not their name, or how they look'. It is a brilliant series of just four books and precedes many other vampire teen tales.

On par with the tv show
If you could sum up The Vampire Diaries, Book 1 in three words, what would they be?
Just as good
Who was your favorite character and why?
Bonnie, because she seemed nicer than tv bonnie
Which character – as performed by Rebecca Mozo – was your favourite?
All of them. You could tell between the characters who is who. Even with male characters. Would like to hear her narrations again.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Stefan saved Elena and took her to his house.
Any additional comments?
It is VERY different from the show. Of course this book came out waayy before. But I like both the show and this book. I like the different characters and the storylines. Elena seemed to fall in love fast but you do that in real life.I like how Stefan is written in the book more than the show. I have read the books up until they were re done by aubrey. Dont know if I will purchase them because L.J Smith's work is better and much less predictable.

Vampires delight
Absolutely fantastic, a gripping tale of a love triangle but also incorporates action and suspense. I would highly recommend all the books in this series and definitely read the books before you watch the series.

Great Book
I have been a fan of the show for a while, having watched it during lockdown. I didn’t know The Vampire Diaries was a book series, having read the reviews I was sceptical about the books because there are so many differences between them and the show. I can honestly say this book did not disappoint I could not stop listening, the narration is really well done, Rebecca Mozo is brilliant. I also have the kindle version of this title which is really well written. The only down side is Audible only have the first 4 novels so Audible please consider getting the rest of the Vampire Diaries novels,

Meh
If you've already watched the series, the book is not as good and the storyline is better in the TV show. Plus the reader keeps pronouncing Stephan's surname wrongly and keeps using a fake Italian accent. I wouldn't recommend.
