The Awakening & The Struggle (The Vampire Diaries, #1-2)

Actual Rating: 3.5 (for both!)
I don't know why this took me a month to read, it didn't feel that long, I guess it was because of classes...but I really enjoyed these 2 books! I'm familiar with the characters and the general storyline (Atleast from book 1) from watching a little of the show, but it's so different in the book omg.
Book 2 was probably my favorite one (maybe even a 4*) just because of the ending! I wasn't expecting it, till maybe a chapter before where I was like "Hmmmm maybe....", I can't wait to see what happens next. I really gotta pick up the next bind up and read more of it, I can't believe LJ Smith went there so early on in the series! (I also really want to find out more about Katherine, so I hope we get that too because I'm a sucker for the flashback scenes!)
I also can't believe I haven't picked these up sooner, just because I really like Smith's writing style (though I know the later books aren't written by her :')). Because this was a first time read for one of my favourite authors I actually sticky noted the entire book with my opinions and predictions. That might even be the reason I found this book kinda kept me from a complete slump, because it was so fun to sticky note!
My current favourite brother as of these books is Stefan...so we'll see how that goes through the series...

So far it's definitly not what I was expecting, but it's not terrible..
He's definitely different, they both are I think. I preferred Damon from the parts of the show that I've seen and kinda hated Stefan. But with the books so far I feel the complete opposite xD
