I haven't read from this series for like over 3 years. It was kind of hard getting back into it, but then I enjoyed it. It actually got me started on watching the TV show again and I've been enjoying that.
I liked the characters in the book and they are all pretty fun and the plot was alright in the book.
Even with what I just said above though, something I noticed when I was getting to the end though is it did feel like nothing happened. For a 600 page book, not a lot happened. It really could have been smaller.
I just don't think this is the right time for me to read the Vampire Diaries but the book wasn't a horrible reading experience and there are worse things I could be reading.

4,5⭐ Le iba a dar solo 4 estrellas por como trataron la evolución de Damon pero como se ve que mejoró un poco la escritura de la autora y hubo bastantes escenas de Delena (Damon y Elena) le voy a subir un poco el puntaje.
This book was pretty awful. It was all over the place and the parts with Elena's different "wings" were just strange. I hope the second book in the Return series is better.
What even was that? I have no idea what just happened.
But I enjoyed it? How does this keep happening?

I re-read the originals late last year, and of course, recognized them for the empty candy they were. (Still sort of loved them, though.) Here, ten years have passed in the real world, but this takes place a week after the events in "Dark Reunion," which makes it kind of weird. Well, truly, it's weird all over... I had to fight to get through it, and I don't think I'll be reading the other two in what is proposed to be a trilogy.
Update: It occurs to me the problem that I have with this aside of it being picked up as though some wacky time-flux has occurred, is that the author I used to love, who was so imaginative, seems to have fallen onto hard times with that. She seems to have watched a buttload of horror movies, and taken their content for her own: backwards walking and talking (The Ring movies/Uninvited), and hundreds of creepy slimy wormy-snaky things (Slither)... True, there are supposedly only so many original ideas left, but it's a real crash when you realize that a former favorite author hasn't had any of her own in a while.

Elena is back. But new enemy is threating Fell's Church. And it can control other people. And Damon make plan with them how to get rid of Stefan and get Elena to him. Can Elena, Bonnie, Meredith and Matt safe Fell's Church from twins Chinichi and Misao and help both Damon and Stefan?
I think that this book was little confusing. At while it was hard to understand what is going on. It was also little unreliable. In good book can happend anything but it is telled so that you haven't any trouble to imagine it in your mind. I don't know was it translating or what but in this book I had time to time hard to imagine book's events.
There happends much in this book and it's end was so exciting that I think that I will read also next part. Still this isn't best part of this series and I hope that it will come better in next books.

Thoughts #1:
WTF is happening? Why is 1991 suddenly 21st century technological? Why is everyone making out with everyone else? Why is Elena a floating, mute, infantile waspy thing? Why is Damon having a homo-erotic affair with himself? I absolutely hated the first original book. The second I barely remember. The third was slightly redeeming and the fourth was mind-blowing amazing. So what is THIS? Stop. Just stop.
And someone, PLEASE, stab Caroline in an artery. Yeah, thanks.
Thoughts #2:
I must say, though, I love the description of "throbbing fangs". I can't tell you why. I'm just a pervert.
Thoughts #3:
Oh, dear gummy bears on a platter. Why is this happening? While I'm still greatly enjoying the perverted descriptions of fangs, everything else is ridiculous! I'm having major Breaking Dawn flashes, here. Elena is like Bella, crying until she gets what she wants (Elena = kisses, Bella = sex). This is just awful.
Thoughts #4:
Um, mister tree? Why are you freaking out on that car and trying to murder everyone? Sincerely, a girl who cannot believe this book was published.
Thoughts #5:
Damon, stop paying attention to Bonnie now, please-thanks. Also, I forgot to reprimand you for this but you really shouldn't go around pecking your signature ornately in blood. It seems kind of gay. Just saying.
Thoughts 6:
She...*heavy dramatic pause* pressed herself against me!
DUN DUN DUN.
Are you for real right now? I mean, honestly. Is this really happening. Are they all meandering around a graveyard seriously gasping about this? I don't know if I can handle four hundred more pages of this garbage...
Thoughts #7:
Also, I preferred Elena as a floating, mute, infantile waspy thing. But you know what?
I liked her better dead. -__-
Thoughts #8:
Elena is back to being an annoying, psychotic bitch. It's like book one all over again! O___o I pretty much dislike everyone at this point. One cool thing though was what attacked Matt with all the pincers and suckers and tentacles. I approve!
Thoughts #9:
Um, why is that girl piercing herself and splitting her tongue? Mmmkay, that's totally normal, yeah? Ugh.
Thoughts #10:
What the actual fuck? Seriously, what is happening right now? Damon, why are you trying to manipulate Matt and Elena into having some kind of sexcapade for you? Why are you doing this? When did you become such a pervert? I mean, I know you've always been pretty weird but this is just out there. Way out there. And Matt, what the hell do you think you're doing? What is the suicide thing about? I don't understand anything. This is ridiculous. This is just... I don't even know.
Thoughts 11:
ALRIGHT! Now we're getting somewhere! The Damon/Elena massage is the only decent thing that's really happened. It's the only thing I'd like to see recreated on the show!
Thoughts 12:
What the fuck is a JIGSY. Jesus.
Thoughts 13:
" You and I are simply better suited to each other by nature. Deep down you know that, because we understand each other."
And all I'm thinking is, "You and I, we have something. An understanding."
omFGGGGGG. OKAY.
Thoughts 14:
This book is like literally clapping to keep the fairy bitch alive. BELIEVE. Jeez, how have I made it this far?
Thoughts 15:
THANK YOU SWEET BABY JESUS! ITS OVER! I don't know how I did it and it took me for freaking ever but I'm done! I'm gonna have to take a break before I start the next one cuz that was so hard to get through. Ugh. No more. Goodbye.

More of a 2.5 than a 3! This book just dropped the ball!
