The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening by L. J. Smith-Teen book review


Quick Facts
  • Author-L. J. Smith
  • Pages-272
  • Genre-Vampires/Urban Fantasy
  • Series-the Vampire Diaries book 1
  • Age-12 to 16
The Vampire Diaries: the Awakening was an interesting vampire romance with a bit of a twist. Elena wasn’t as strong as I had hoped, overall she was a strong character, but she needed to be saved time and time again. I also found Stefan’s character too weak, always trying to fight his darker side, I just found him moping around a lot. One thing I did enjoy was trying to figure out Stefan’s secret past as it is slowly unraveled throughout The Vampire Diaries: the Awakening. The book also had a great twist at the end that left The Vampire Diaries: the Awakening with a cliffhanger ending. Still I found the book didn’t move fast enough, and the romance didn’t really catch my interest but that could also be because I never felt for the character. In all, if you want a vampire novel this could be your book but it just didn’t do it for me.
