A love triangle that will span eternity…

The year is 1864 and the Civil War rages on. But seventeen-year-old Stefan Salvatore is fighting a battle all his own. Engaged to marry someone he does not love, Stefan falls for a mysterious girl named Katherine. With her gleaming curls and mischievous brown eyes, Katherine is beautiful and seduction…but she also harbors a dark secret: She’s a vampire.

Based on the popular CW TV show inspired by the bestselling novels, Stefan’s Diaries reveals what really happened between Stefan, Damon, and Katherine—and how the Vampire Diaries love triangle began.

Cal and I are reading this one together :D Not too sure about the series.

12% through (view spoiler)[Oh no this is going to be pretty bad :/ I find this kind of attraction frustrating. Insta-love :/ I mean, her and Damon seem okay, also because Damon's not getting married to Rosalyn, but it still frustrates me, this uncertainty as to why he can't stop thinking about Katherine. So annoying. (hide spoiler)]

24% through (view spoiler)[Another totally predictable moment in the study :/ Bleh of course the kiss was coming, and then the regret and the guilt. Just stop already. You know you're asking for trouble. (hide spoiler)]

34% through (view spoiler)[Yeah I understand that Rosalyn died, which was quite a shock, but he doesn't have to go that full-out grieving for her. I mean, he didn't even like her, and now he can play around with Katherine like he wants to. I don't see the problem? (hide spoiler)]

46% through (view spoiler)[Getting sick of all of this love stuff. I just want to know what's going to happen, and to get to the drama. (hide spoiler)]

52% (view spoiler)[There we go! So now he knows she's a vampire, and he's still totally okay with it. Wonder if Damon knows. (hide spoiler)]

65% (view spoiler)[Oh woah I forgot Anna and Pearl were vampires! Wonder how long they've been in town, for Stefan to not even have noticed. Now it's getting interesting. (hide spoiler)]

75% (view spoiler)[Why hasn't Damon popped up yet at the dance... When's he going to find out? (hide spoiler)]

87% (view spoiler)[Good thing that his father didn't think Stefan was in love with her. He thought he was just trying to lure out the vampire, or whatever. I'm really liking Stefan's drive to help Damon by helping Katherine. It's crazy how quickly he turned on Katherine though, even when he knew what she was. (hide spoiler)]

Finished. Review: I think the first time I read this I extremely overestimated it. This book I didn't even like all that much. The insta-love really stuck out to me, and the way that Stefan never questioned anything in the book was a bad point for me. The way he assumed that (view spoiler)[his father would just be alright with vampires after he'd accepted Katherine, which he didn't even do, and the way Damon insisted he wanted to die, and Stefan knew how much Katherine meant to him, but he still forced Damon to drink blood and complete the transformation. I don't know how I'd feel if I was Damon. (hide spoiler)] I'll probably continue the series but only for challenges XD

Hi I'm on! I haven't gotten my book yet :) I'm getting it tomorrow woooo!!

I think it's a different book, not this book. Is yours called The Awakening and The Reunion? The original TVD series?
