About this audiobook

The New York Times bestselling series!

The first book in L.J. Smith’s New York Times bestselling 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 bestselling author L.J. Smith.

Ratings and reviews

I cannot stand the accent that is given to Stefan. He sounds like Dracula. Also can't get past that the books pronounce his last name as Salvatorie instead of how the TV show pronounces it. I read this book many many years ago before the show was even a thought.

The Vampire diaries, it's my favourite show. I know vampires doesn't exit but I believe because of only by this show. I really love it a lot. All the character are awesome. And I really wish that I could meet those characters.

love the book series but why is it 14 when on Amazon u can get it for. 10 with the ebook. will change rating once answered.
