A review by cobycoyle
The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening and the Struggle by L.J. Smith

2.0

So, the only explanation I’ll take for Elena and Stefan being in love with each other after like, a week and talking only once or twice is that she’s the reincarnation of Katherine or something. Because otherwise, that’s ludicrous.

Also, the scene where Stefan is angry and telling Elena “your white throat” and the like——- Stephenie Meyer completely ripped that off from L.J Smith with her scene of Edward in Twilight saying “as if you could outrun me” etc. etc. because this book was written in the 90’s. How did no one notice this? Cause I’d be pissed if I were L.J Smith.

Also I know it’s an older book, but these high schoolers don’t even talk or act like high schoolers, besides Matt and maybe Caroline.

I will say it kept my interest to the point where I finished it and am reading the next one, so...there’s that.
