That explains Stefan That he knows the killer cut Sue's chest to let Tyler drink her blood. The blood Initiated Tyler into his hereditary powers as a werewolf. Because Jacob Smallwood, a town founder and contemporary of Honoria Fell, was bitten by a werewolf, all his male descendants were similarly infected.

Elena is the central character, the heroine, and the protagonist alongside Stefan in the books series except Dark Reunion, which features Bonnie McCullough as the protagonist.
Elena is 17 at the beginning of the very first book, and she is the most beautiful, popular girl at Robert E. Lee High School mainly called the Queen.
Physically, Elena is extremely beautiful, drop dead gorgeous and she is every boy's dream. She has an 'angelic' physical appearance. Elena has a thick, long, straight pale golden hair, which reaches just above her waist and is so fair in color, it almost seems to shimmer in the sunlights like gold.
Elena has an unusual, unique eye color of blue, which is described to be the same color of lapis lazuli stone which is the stone vampires use to protect themselves from sunlight with flecks of gold but have also been described to be the color of violets.
She has a fair, pale, and creamy skin compared to the color of swans, alabaster or porcelain with light, pink rosy cheeks. Elena is of average height for a teenage girl and she is described to have a slender, gorgeous body. According to Stefan, Elena is about a good handspan taller than Katherine. Although Elena has a strong physical resemblance to Katherine, there are slight physical differences among the two girls.
While Katherine has lighter, silvery eyebrows and eyelashes, Elena's brows and lashes are darker blonde. Katherine is described to have extremely long it pools and trails behind her on the floor darker blonde wavy hair while Elena has pale gold blonde straight hair. Elena sees herself as beautiful, therefore, she is quite proud and vain. Elena is extremely shocked and hurt when Stefan, the new boy whom she is instantly, indescribably drawn to, does not pay any attention to her in the beginning of the series, but Stefan avoided her for other personal reasons which were unknown to Elena at the time.
Elena has a younger four-year-old sister named Margaret, and she and her sister lives with her legal guardian Aunt Judith Gilbert her father's sister and Uncle Robert Maxwell.
Although Elena is deeply in love with Stefan, she later also develops feelings for Damon, Stefan's older brother. Throughout the series she has to face hard challenges, such as becoming a vampire unwillingly, truly dying to save both Stefan and Damon, then coming back to life as a guardian angel, traveling to the Dark Dimension in order to save her beloved Stefan , facing kitsune , and fighting a phantom. Elena greatly resembles a vampire, Katherine, and worries that she will become like her and that Stefan and Damon are drawn to her because she strongly resembles Katherine.
But the differences are that Elena is a brave, strong, courageous girl and will fight for her friends and not herself. As the series progresses, she is willing to put her life at risk and do anything to help and protect the people she loves and cares about.
Elena has endured much loss, grief, pain and tragedy in her very young teenage life; mostly due to the loss of her parents in a tragic, fatal car accident. Elena dies twice throughout the course of the series, first dying and changing into a vampire, and then dying as a vampire after killing Katherine to protect Stefan and Damon from Katherine torturing and killing them all.
Elena then comes back in Dark Reunion as a spirit of the afterlife and returns in Nightfall a supernatural human with angelic powers and abilities. In Midnight, she is turned back into a regular human girl and begins attending college with her love Stefan and her friends Bonnie, Matt and Meredith. Stefan is the hero, the supporting protagonist alongside Elena , and the male lead character of the book series. Stefan is Damon's moral, benevolent younger brother. Stefan was born July 5, in Florence, Italy to Conte Di Giuseppe Salvatore and his unnamed mother, who died a few years after Stefan's birth due to an illness.
Stefan is a five hundred plus year old immortal born during the time of The Renaissance, who was one of the Salvatore brothers that fell deeply in love with a young beautiful Bulgarian girl who was a vampire, Katherine Von Swartzschild, during his human life and before he was transformed into a vampire when he was a 17 year old human boy.
During his human life, Stefan was a noble, aristocratic young man who lived by a strict code of morals, values, ethics and code of honor. Stefan strongly believed in nobility, duty, responsibility, justice and doing the right thing as much as possible.
In his human years, Stefan was seen to be deeply sentimental and he was shown to care about family, friends, memories, duty, his ambitions and studies, responsibility and serving his duty to his hometown of Florence. Between he and Damon, Stefan was the favored child with everyone, especially his father Giuseppe, mostly because Stefan was seen by everyone as a good, noble, obedient, and ideal son.
Stefan was Giuseppe's favorite son and held Stefan at high regard and respect because he was obedient, dutiful, studious, noble and responsible. Stefan is the opposite of Damon in regards to outlook, values, ethics and beliefs, which makes Stefan extremely polar opposite to Damon in all these aspects. While Damon has no problem with killing many innocent humans for their blood to gain Power, Stefan is strongly opposed to taking innocent human life and has never believed that killing innocent people for their life force blood is worth it to be powerful and gain Power.
Whereas Damon is strongly drawn to the dangerous, wild, dark side of life and living in the shadows of darkness, Stefan enjoys life amidst the sunlight amongst the comfort of family, friends and humans. Although Stefan doesn't drink human blood, Stefan still possesses the standard vampire abilities such as immortality, super speed, super strength, agility, enhanced senses sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell , telepathy, and mind compulsion.
Stefan also has the unique ability of being able to read individuals minds. If Stefan consumes enough human blood, Stefan would gain enough Power to manipulate the weather create storms, rain, thunder, lightening, wind, fog, etc. Stefan is attending college with his love Elena and his friends Bonnie, Matt and Meredith. Damon is the main antagonist and a main character of the book series.
Damon is Stefan's immoral, malevolent elder brother. He was born October 30, in Florence, Italy to Conti Di Giuseppe Salvatore and his unnamed mother, who died due to an illness that had weakened her a few years after Stefan's birth. Damon is a five hundred plus year old immortal who was born during the period of The Renaissance. He, along with his younger brother Stefan, fell in love with a young Bulgarian girl who was a vampire, Katherine Von Schwarzschild during his human life and before he was transformed into a vampire in his early twenties.
Physically, Damon is described to be extremely gorgeous with handsome features, high cheekbones, and a cruel mouth. He has straight, fine, black hair, black eyes the color of the midnight sky, and very pale complexion. Damon is said to strongly physically resemble his younger brother Stefan due to family relation.
This is noticed both by Elena and Bonnie. Although Stefan and Damon have a strong resemblance to one another, there are slight physical differences between him and Stefan Stefan has the thick, wavy-ish hair, Damon fine straight hair and Stefan has green eyes, Damon has black eyes. Damon, like Stefan, wears a silver ring with a large lapis lazuli stone on the middle finger of his left hand to protect him from the sunlight.
Because of Damon's jealousy, anger and envy towards his brother, Damon made it his life's goal both as a mortal and immortal to mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically torment Stefan as much as possible, including threatening to kill Stefan on multiple occasions. Damon has deeply, strongly loathed Stefan since childhood, not just out of jealousy towards Stefan but because he thinks that Stefan is to blame and is responsible for the death of their mother, who was weakened and fell very ill after she gave birth to Stefan and never recovered afterwards.
Because of this, Stefan has always felt responsible and has felt extremely guilty about his mother's death, thinking that he is to blame, even though it was not Stefan's fault.

Well, well, well. This is the book that actually started the cliche storm that influenced the Twilight series. Put it in your book history book Whaa? I haven't seen the TV series yet I will until I finish the entire series.
I can't wait for Nina Dobrev, one of my favorite actresses! I don't know, maybe it was the writing that set me off. I wouldn't say it was terrible, it just wasn't. I will say it once again: Sh Well, well, well. I will say it once again: Show, don't tell, goddammit! And with lapis lazuli blue eyes. Because ordinary blue eyes are too mainstream, I guess.
And because brown hair is for ugly girls. Didn't you heard that gentlemen prefer blondes, girls? Okay, here's my problem: Elena is a whiny bimbo. There, I said it. Elena isn't the typical ordinary girl. Instead, she is the Queen Bee and really rich.
But, wait! Her life isn't perfect. She wants everything to be perfect, because if she doesn't, her life is ruined! Oh, how my heart aches for her suffering. She has a really nice boyfriend, Matt; view spoiler [Who is a monster as well. I spoiled myself by accident. And she is a superficial bitch who is willing to have what she wants, because she is also a spoiled parasite. Yawn, yawn. Where's the spice? Then, Stefan arrives. Elena immediately falls in love with him and is willing to dump her boyfriend so he can have him.
Stefan realizes that Elena looks like Katherine, his former lover, and the reason he is a vampire. Katherine also had an affair with Stefan's brother, Damon, who is now his worst enemy. He falls in love with her as well but ignores her for some reason.
Stuff happens, blah blah blah, after some angst, they finally get together. It doesn't make me happy, though, considering the fact that their relationship is a bunch of garbage. If that isn't codependency, then I don't know what is! Even Elena said that she will die without him, before they even got together.
And he apparently stalks her. Great, that's exactly what we needed: Another creepy YA lover. If doesn't matter, though. Wait, what? Why am I saying that?
Let's do a little quiz, shall we? If you discovered that the guy you liked has a piece of clothing of yours the one you lost on your second day of school and you've been officially dating since yesterday, what would you do? If you chose either A or C, then you're not Elena Gilbert. And where is Damon? Honestly, I didn't pay attention to this after Elena and Stefan got together. Nothing interesting happens from there.
Oh yes, I forgot! Someone is murdering innocents in the town! Who is responsible for this heinous crime? I don't think I care. The blurb tells you that there's a love triangle. The only love triangle at the moment is the one between the Salvatore brothers and Katherine. Which happened, like, centuries ago.
I'm still intrigued about what will happen with Elena and the Salvatore brothers, though. Okay, yes, this book was predictable, cheesy, with bland characters and plot-less, but I still want to know what will happen next. That's my explanation for the rating I gave for this book. EDIT: The rating is now 2 stars after some consideration. One thing, though: The ending was so messy. That's not a cliffhanger, that is just being lazy!
I'm thinking that I made a really big mistake. Oh, well. View all 6 comments. Jan 27, J. Stroube rated it really liked it Shelves: series , young-adult , vampire-immortals-succubus , favorites. After reading this book for the fifth or sixth time, I still enjoyed it! It reminds me of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I have about a million positive things to say and only one negative: Elena says "I love you" too quickly.
The fact that such a serious statement is made at such an early stage in the book I love you is not something to be taken lightly, and when said too early it makes me think of puppy love, not undying love. Other than that single annoyance It was written years before Twilight and I wonder if Stephenie Meyer may have gotten some of her ideas from this series.
Elena is somewhat pretentious in the beginning, but blossoms throughout the book. Her obssession turns to devotion, and her conceited demeanor transforms into a singleminded determination to become someone worthy. Stefan plays the part of the wounded soul. He believes that he is no longer worthy of happiness, and instead seeks to blend into society only to find acceptance in Elena. Damon is an captivating character. Even in the first installment of this series, it is difficult to dislike him.
He is the embodiment of sexuality and temptation that only becomes more appetizing in the later parts of the series. I fully recommend this book to anyone who has a fondness for love triangles, and the supernatural. As always, I'm gonna read the first and not continue, this series seemes to never finish and honestly after reading this first book I can tell that the tv series must be better tahn the book.
This was boring and not that intriguing. Not interested. Less of a review and more of me venting, sorry. You've been warned. I was thinking of starting this off by saying The Awakening reads like fanfiction, but. I'm pretty sure the only reason I got through The Awakening was because I came to the conclusion that Elena has narcissistic personality disorder.
On the first day back at school, Elena sees Stephan and decides she's going to have him , even "if it killed her. If it killed both of them, she'd have h Less of a review and more of me venting, sorry. If it killed both of them, she'd have him. And also, what, does Stefan not have any say in the matter? I guess not. Apparently he's the first guy to not automatically start fawning all over her.
Without a glance. She couldn't remember how long it had been since a boy had done that. They all looked, at least. Some whistled. Some stopped to talk. Some just stared.
That is literally all that happens. She turns in her seat and smiles at him and he looks down at his desk. Elena decides this means Stefan thinks he's better than everyone else.
Because of course, it's not possible he's actually shy or anything. And then her and Stefan kiss and she tells him she loves him. Two vampire brothers fighting over a human girl. The TV show is popular enough; if the book had been done right, it might've been popular too, albeit a little cliche. But the bad writing and terrible characterization were too hard to overlook. There is a very, very slim chance I'll read the rest of the series. First yes I get why they have this cover, but when she has dark hair and Elena has blonde, it's just weird.
Elana fancies a boy, the boy Stefan is a vampire, she wants him, he is scared for her sake, they get together. That was the short version. First, 17 year old girl, year old vampire, eww. Ok to the story. I didn't like Elena.
She was the most beautiful girl at school, she was the most popular, everyone loved her. The one boy doesn't acknowledge her and she burst into tears and her world I destroyed. And I am supposed to like her? She is a spoiled brat, but oh no, there is something that is there so she will not be too perfect, she is an orphan. The book was, meh. View all 4 comments. Okay so I remember back when Netflix had at least the first 3 seasons of this show on there or maybe 2? I on the other hand saw the first 20 minutes of it and my curiosity piqued especially after seeing the gorgeous sexy Salvatore brothers haha and I started on episode 1 and just kept going and been watching live after the season that was on netflix.
So t Okay so I remember back when Netflix had at least the first 3 seasons of this show on there or maybe 2? So that's when I found out not long after it was a book series back in '91 when I was born and thought, "why not try the first book? I swear they're running out of storyline and I did go into the second book and felt it didn't have much of a story But if you like these kinds of books go for it but to me, it was a lot more cheesy than Twilight and not my favorite.
I didn't even bother with the other 4 or the rest it was that bad for me Enough said haha That was brutal. How did they make a show of this again? I mean, I know the show is cheesy and all, but this Lee High School whose only goal in life is to get boys.
Totally sounds like someone an old world vampire would want, right?
