Stefan Salvatore, el principal sospechoso del asesinato del profesor de historia, ha desaparecido. Elena está convencida de que no ha sido él, pero para probar su inocencia, primero debe encontrarlo… Y eso no va a ser fácil si antes no descubre quién se ha apoderado de su diario y lo utiliza para atormentarla; o cómo frenar a Damon, el hermano de Stefan, que la persigue y tiene amenazados a sus seres queridos.

Elena conseguiu o que queria: Stefan é seu. Por outro lado, sua semelhança com Katherine faz com que ela seja irresistível também a Damon - e ser amada por dois vampiros pode ser fatal.

Depois de ceder a Elena, Stefan acredita que o amor pode redimi-lo. Só que a chegada de Damon o faz temer pela vida de sua amada, e ele a cerca de cuidados. Mas, conseguirá Stefan protegê-la de si mesmo?

Damon escolheu Elena para ser sua companheira nas sombras, e a atração entre os dois é inegável. Belo e charmoso, ele se aproveitará de tudo e de todos para conquistá-la. E não irá se arrepender depois.

Honestly so disappointed. I had high hopes due to TV show but am still reading the series and trying to push the TV version out of my head. ( )

SCREAMING. OH THE DRAMA, IT IS AMAZING. ( )

#1 The Awakening - ★★★★★
#2 The Struggle - ★★★★★



The Struggle is the continuation of the Vampire Diaries Series by L.J. Smith. The second book that features the life of popular girl Elena Gilbert and her endeavors with the mysterious vampire brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore.

The Struggle continues where The Awakening ends; Elena is looking to talk to Damon, knowing that he has something to do with Stefan's disappearance.

I felt like there was more action in this book, compared to the first one. It made me more engrossed with the story and I was very excited for all the twists.

Elena was obviously the main character in this book, alongside Stefan and Damon. I am not sure how I felt about Elena in this book. She seemed to ignore everyone for a while and just be her selfish self - which resulted in getting people in trouble.

On the other hand, I really loved the history of Stefan and Damon. The memories from hundreds of years ago. The author manager to portray the time very well, and I was easily transported into another world, another time... I think these scenes were definitely the favourite part of this book.

I wish we saw more chapters with Bonnie and Meredith. Even though best friends, it didn't feel like they were too involved in the story. We didn't get to know them properly and it has already been two books. I really hope book three will let us meet these two characters better.

I am happy with the book in general.

The scenes, the plot, the twists - they were all very carefully put together. Elena's love choices are opening up, letting us wonder which brother she might choose. Making us choose sides (team Damon here!). This battle between the love and hate of the two brothers definitely seems interesting.

The ending was everything I was hoping for and now I can't wait for the next book. The Awakening and The Struggle were only an introduction and the real adventures are yet to begin!

I recommend it to all of you that love young-adult, teen romance and vampire stories. It will keep you on your toes for sure!
