The series was originally a trilogy published in 1991, but pressure from readers led Smith to write a fourth volume, Dark Reunion, which was released the following year in 1992. The Vampire Diaries is now a hit television series on The CW The story centers on Elena Gilbert, a young, beautiful high school girl who finds herself eventually torn between two Italian brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore, who are centuries old vampires. The Vampire Diaries is a young adult vampire, romance and horror series of novels created and written by L. the role models might not be that good, but they aren't the kind of characters anyone would want to be like.The Awakening, The Struggle, The Fury, Dark Reunion, Nightfall, Shadow Souls, Midnight, Phantom, Moonsong, Destiny Rising, Unseen, Unspoken, Unmasked, Paradise Lost, The War of Roses. yeah, a guy gets drunk once, a heck lot of teens do. the worst sex is in the 5th book when elenas past friend has sex for attention and ends up pregnant. elena, the main character, is indeed a virgin (mentioned in 6th book), although sex is implied, they dont actually do it. now these guys are vampires, so they obviously dont feel remorse ore regret,and it wouldn't be a true (good) vampire book if the vampires were sparkling ballerinas. the violence isn't that bad, not graphic, though it wont give kids nightmares, and if they're over the age of 9, probably have seen far worse. yes, the main character lies, all teens do or else they wouldn't be teenagers.

she is loyal to her friends and town, though, especially when she died for them.

elena gilbert may do what she needs to get what she wants, but she is a troubled teen that severely feels like an outsider while she is the most popular girl in school. This book is not for everyone in the sense that the mood is dark and some may not like it. Unlike more recent depictions, these vampires have no remorse.

Main characters have sex, barely described.The female characters are not strong, independent, or otherwise positive characters. There is an attempted rape of the main character and a brutal rape of another girl. It is much more a horror story than a romance with graphic violence, including descriptions of the vampire murders of people and animals such as a pet dog. The book is very dated and pretty sexist. In fact the TV show and Twilight actually seem more similar. It bears no resemblance to the vampire sensation Twilight (other than that a vampire poses as a new high school student and a local girl falls for him).

Parents need to know that this book, first published in 1991, has been loosely made into a TV show. One scene of students drunk at a school dance one drunken boy attempts to rape the main character and a drunk girl is raped by someone else.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?
