Really good ending!
I really love the characters of TVD and I missed them so much after the show ended. This was a great way to still be a part of that world. I wish there were.more to read.

The series is getting better. I was SO over the whole Samuel thing. Stefan is so annoying. That is all.

Man, Stefan just leaves a trail of bodies in his wake, doesn't he? What a useless whiner. Now I see why he and Elena were drawn to each other. No one knows the pain they go through! Everyone around them dies and it's not at all their fault! Dumbasses.

this is probably the best book out of the whole series. but this wasn’t the best series or the best books i’ve read. it was ok and kind of interesting just because i’m watching the show but eh not really worth it.

*BEFORE READING THE BOOK*
So I just started reading this book and I can't wait to finish it. Only one victim left. Mary Jane Kelly if I remember correctly. I think that was the last victim of Jack the Ripper... Can't wait to see how she's described in this book. What I like about this series is that they actually kept everything the real Jack The Ripper did back in autumn 1888. From the victims he killed to the places they were found and the letter he sent to the press. Truth be told, if vampires were real, this might, and I repeat MIGHT, be a pretty good explanation. Still, those poor women were brutally murdered and "Jack" got away with it. Not even today can anybody tell who he really was. The suspects have included everyone from Queen Victoria’s grandson the Duke of Clarence to Alice in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll. Some even said a Sioux Indian warrior called Black Elk, who toured Britain with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in the 1880s, was the guilty man. Others believed child charity campaigner Dr Barnardo was “Jack”. There are even those who say that he was just dreamed up by a drunken journalist called Thomas Bulling who wrote a forged letter to Scotland Yard in 1888 pretending to be “Jack” so he could obtain a scoop. Whatever the truth is, it still is terrifying. Can't wait to see how this notorious killer finds his end in this series.
*AFTER READING THE BOOK*
I finished it. Ow my GOD!!! It was absolutely amazing!!! I didn't expect it to be much better than the rest... Most of them were entertaining, but not really extremely good. This one, however, it was definitely the best. After all, it's the only one that deserves 5 stars. But like any other book, It had it's ups and downs.
Cora is still one of my favorite characters and she just rocks. And she's very bad ass. And her relationship with the Salvatore brothers is just perfect. Not romantic or anything. She's like the little sister they never had. And I love that.
I hated it when Violet died. She was one of my favorite characters also. But I guess, that she'd gone too far beyond humanity to be saved. And I understand that. But she was so sweet and carefree.
Mary Jane Kelly is now my most favorite character. I mean, she's descended from the Original Coven. I knew she was going to die from the moment she introduced herself after being attacked by Samuel... She was Jack the Ripper's last victim... But I still hoped that she'd somehow be brought back to life by some witchy hex made by Lady Alice or Jemma, even after she died so brutally murdered. But, then again, if no one dear dies, it just doesn't feel real, right?
One thing I totally hated. What the freaking bloody blueberries was that crazy story about Elijah? That didn't sound at all like the Nobile Original Vampire we all love and adore!!! I mean, let's be serious. It sounded more like something Klaus or Kol would do. "He did it just because he had the power too." Really? Does that sound like Elijah? I don't think so.

I think this might be my favorite of the Stefan's Diaries series. I really enjoyed the friendship between Stefan, Damon, and Cora and how Stefan and Damon are acting sorta like brothers at the end of the book.
