The Vampire Diaries: The Struggle
L.J. Smith
253 pages
A deadly love triangle.
Elena: the golden girl, the leader, the one who can have any boy she wants.
Stefan: brooding and mysterious, he seems to be the only one who can resist Elena, even as he struggles to protect her from the horrors that haunt his past.
Damon: sexy, dangerous, and driven by an urge for revenge against Stefan, the brother who betrayed him. Determined to have Elena, he’d kill to possess her.
The Vampire Diaries, a tale of two vampire brothers and the beautiful girl torn between them.
Girls cannot resist from egomaniac, wild, sexy bad boy’s charm. I’ll be melting inside out under his lazy smile and hypnotizing black eyes. Forget Edward Cullen, erase Jack Force. Meet Damon Salvatore. He makes me drooling like an idiot. He’s the perfect vampire guy from all the book I’ve read about that blood lover. It’s just too bad he doesn’t show up a lot.
Elena’s character changes slowly. From bitchy popular girl to sympathetic ordinary high school girl. Suddenly she didn’t give attentions to everything happened in her surroundings. She only thinks of Stefan, and Damon (she doesn’t want to say it out loud, of course).

This is the only book that have popular girl at school as main character. Beautiful, blond, has “cheerleader” group, being a little bitch sometimes.
Usually books in a series are the same with a single stand-alone book. They have beginning part, problems (I forget what the exact word), climax, anticlimax and conclusion. But, it’s different with this series. The first book is exactly the beginning part of the story. It doesn’t have climax like one by one battle or war between two families or competition of two girls to get a guy.
Curious. That’s a simple word from me after I know a tv series is made based on this. I never watch it so the story is happening in my imagination purely. And I can’t wait to read about Damon. I can’t stand of character like him.

Fallen
By Lauren Kate
Publisher Delacorte Press
Published Date December 8th 2009
There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.
Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.
Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce–and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.

REVIEW
I can’t get the story yet, though I’ve finished reading it. What’s the meaning of fallen angels’ battle? How about the dark shadow Luce always see? How can Luce die after knowing the truth in her past lives? I have to wait for the second book to understand it. Very frustrating.

The book is thick enough and boring at the first. Then, the story become interesting from page 250’s. Daniel and Cam fought each other. Not the kind of highschool student fighting over girls, but of creatures beyond human. Hard, cruel and killing.
Lauren Kate’s style reminds me of Stephenie Meyer. I mean in adoring someone we love. Bella in describing Edward and Luce in Daniel. But I prefer this book. Though it’s a little cheesy (feeling safe when Luce’s around Daniel, knowing where to look at and find Daniel watching her, rejecting and yearning of being together from Daniel, etc.), I still feel the maturity from this book. Not too embarassing – no offense but sorry for Twilighters.
