The Originals: The Loss by Julie Plec
5.0

I loved reading the first book in this trilogy so naturally dedicated myself to read the rest that follows in this series and the second one was just as good as the first, if not better! It was great to read about the characters from the TV show who I have come to know through their antics in the series and reading about their past lives in these books adds an extra layer to their characters.

The histories of the main characters, Klaus, Rebekah and Elijah go so far and deep (which is to be expected for an Original vampire who has lived throughout centuries!) as well as their relationships to each other and the struggles they’ve all faced in their pasts.

In the show we’ve seen them return to New Orleans but in these books, it charts their progress in commandeering their city, establishing (and destroying) their relationships with the Witches and Werewolves as well as their run ins on love, I mean Klaus married?! Who would have thought it!

These books are great in accompaniment to the show and I can’t wait to read the third one!
