This book was absolutely terrible. First off, I can't believe they are getting away with pretending this terribly written book was done by LJ Smith, since it was actually written by a ghostwriter. It was hastily written, crass, and made me want to burn it for ruining her original series. This book is not worth reading.

Pretty entertaining, but for books that are supposed to be based on the tv show, not very accurate.

J'ai bien apprécié ce tome, car je ne me souvenais absolument pas de cette partie qui a sûrement dû apparaître dans la série ! Mais non, zéro souvenirs, donc j'ai apprécié ma lecture !
De plus, l'écriture est tellement simple qu'elle se lit très facilement. C'est parfois appréciable !

After what happened in New Orleans with Damon, Stefan runs of to New York, hoping to start a new life.[return]In New York he runs into his brother, who is pretending to be an Italian Royal. Damon pulls Stefan in his sick plans, creating a situation that of course Stefan cannot escape in any descent way. But another villain is on the search for the Salvatore brothers, making their life as miserable as possible and putting them in nasty situations. Who is this person and what does it want...[return][return]The book is a nice gap filler for those things of the Salvatore brothers you keep wondering about next to the tv show. What happened between their turn and their (this time) arrival in Mystic Falls. It is a Sunday afternoon book. Nothing very complicated but a nice and entertaining read. [return]For people who are fan of the show it is worth reading. For those who do not watch the show it can be a nice introduction to start watching it but the story is to much depending on other books and information you gather from the show.

I couldn't make it past page 56 I mean what the crap is this? There was nothing as to what I was looking for. Everything in that book was a-n-n-o-y-i-n-g. This is so disappointing. I'm generous enough to rate it 1.

Better than the last one...

This one had a few things that I didn't like or didn't match the original series. I am not sure why Klaus came up when in the show they had no idea who he was. Overall it was a good read though!

Let's be honest here, the sole reason I am still reading these is Damon.
