Product Description
Set during the Civil War, against a backdrop of grand estates, unimaginable riches, and deadly secrets, three teenagers in Mystic Falls, Virginia enter a torrid love triangle that will span eternity.
Brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore are inseparable until they meet Katherine, a stunning, mysterious woman who turns their world upside down. Siblings turned rivals, the Salvatores compete for Katherine's affection, only to discover that her sumptuous silk dresses and glittering gems hide a terrible secret: Katherine is a vampire. And she is intent on turning them into vampires so they can live together-forever.
Based on the popular CW TV show inspired by the bestselling novels, Stefan's Diaries reveals the truth about what really happened between Stefan, Damon, and Katherine—and how the Vampire Diaries love triangle began.

Good for the TV show, but not the original book series,
By
This review is from: The Vampire Diaries: Stefan's Diaries #1: Origins (Paperback)
This book was okay. It basically just explained Stefen's past based on what we already know from the TV show. I did like reading the novel from Stefen's perspective though, because he is one of my favorite characters. But it had nothing to do with the original book series. So if you like the version of how Stefen and Damon turned based on the television show, you'll like this book. If you prefer how Stefen and Damon turned based on the original book series, you'll be really confused because it's not at all the same.

I really liked this light read. It makes a very good addition to the TV series. Sharing Stefan's past along with Katherine's history. I recommend it especially if you love the TV series.

GOING BACK TO THE "ORIGINS",

This review is from: The Vampire Diaries: Stefan's Diaries #1: Origins (Paperback)
So I have to admit this was surprisingly good. Surprising because I'm not anywhere near the demographic the book is aiming at. For starters I'm far from being a YA (although admittedly I do sometimes still act like it) I've never read any of the books from L.J Smith's original series and I'm only a casual fan of the TV show. (Oh, but those Salvatore boys are yummy to look at) However Stefan's Dairies was a great read and stands perfectly fine on its own, completely separate from either series, except of course for using the same characters and town setting.Based on historical flashbacks shown briefly in the TV series, here we get to go back to the "origin" of the Salvatore brothers, set during the civil war before they became vampires. The writing is simple but the story is complete and very good with elements of suspense and romance throughout; Stefan trying to live up to his fathers expectations, young love and the jealousy yet unbreakable bond between two brothers as they vie for the same mysterious woman. I wouldn't have any trouble recommending this to anyone (of any age) who enjoys historical romances as it can easily be read as a stand alone without ever having seen the TV show or reading the original series. However it is pretty nice to be able to use Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder as visual references :) Its 1864 and seventeen year old Stefan Salvatore has just proposed marriage to a girl he doesn't love. As his overbearing father grooms him to take over the family estate his wayward brother Damon returns from the still raging Civil war and a beautiful girl named Katherine moves into the carriage house. Recently orphaned Katherine is everything his betrothed is not; seductive and mischievous she also harbours a grave secret and has fully captured the attention of both Salvatore brothers. When strange killings begin to occur within the town, Stefan's father organizes a lynch mob to track down the killers. It seems there be vampires in Mystic Falls. Cheers
