Many stories lose something when they go from the written page to the small screen. This is one of those stories.

Elena has a lot of dimension beyond being a pretty high school senior. She’s smart, but she’s also nosy. I liked her adventurous spirit, although at first, I wasn’t real thrilled with her almost callous approach to her boyfriend. But then again, who is totally nice all the time when dealing with a pest? High school kids can identify with her actions.

Stefan and Damon are a great tag team in that both are handsome, damned, and enigmatic. You want to see Stefan get with Elena. The struggle to overcome evil and desire is interesting, but a little adult for some ‘tween readers. Still, there is the expected drama of high school… the bullies, the drama queens, and then the paranormal happenings around them.

If you like vampires and the strife of the teen years, then you need to read The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening. You don’t regret it. I give this book 4 suns.
