The Vampire Diaries The Return Midnight L J Smith Books

Oh my God. I completely loved this book! It was all about Damon and Elena, and that's what I loved about it. It shows a softer, more vulnerable side to Damon he only shows around her, and she begins to realize that maybe Stefan isn't her only world. The Dark Dimension story plot with the kitsune keys was fascinating.

What I do have to complain about is everything that's happening in Fell's Church. The book is mainly about Damon and Elena getting Stefan back from Shi no Shi, right? So why add the random story plot about what's happening back in their small town? And the thing with Caroline turning into a werewolf and having puppies or whatever was really unneeded. Not too many people care about that character enough to see her in the book.

And I also hate the ending of the book. I felt it was a little rushed. It's like I barely knew what was going on. I didn't feel it was necessary to have that in the book, she could have waited until the last book to put that story plot in and explained it a little better, because it seemed to move way too fast and with little notice.

But otherwise, completely great novel. My favorite so far!

On the run . . .

Elena Gilbert's love, the vampire Stefan Salvatore, has been captured and imprisoned by demonic spirits who are wreaking havoc in Fell's Church. While her friends Bonnie and Meredith explore the evil that has taken over their town, Elena goes in search of Stefan.

In order to find him, she entrusts her life to Stefan's brother, Damon Salvatore, the handsome but deadly vampire who wants Elena, body and soul. Along with her childhood friend Matt, they set out for the slums of the Dark Dimension, where Stefan is being held captive. It is rumored to be a world where vampires and demons roam free, but humans must live enslaved to their supernatural masters. . . .

Elena will stop at nothing to free Stefan. Yet with each passing day the tension between Elena and Damon grows, and she is faced with a terrible decision: Which brother does she really want?

Back in Fell's Church, Bonnie and Meredith have made some dire discoveries. They hastily try to follow Elena and warn her—only to be caught up in Elena's most dangerous adventure yet.

The Vampire Diaries The Return Midnight L J Smith Books Reviews

I finally chugged to the end of Midnight yesterday, and I'm just appalled. The biggest pet peeve I have in fantasy/sci fi stories is when something happens at the end to undo everything that was done up to that point...and that's exactly what happens here. Not only is the entire Return series pretty much wiped out (although not from my memory, more's the pity), but also most of everything after "The Awakening," so the original series is undone as well. Unbelievable. HOW MUCH DAMAGE CAN SOMEONE DO TO HER OWN WORK????

As an aside, there's a stupid new plotline for Meredith which reeks of setting up for more squeezing of the cash cow. Yes, I know L.J. has been fired, but someone's going to continue making money off these books...even if they had to make over a beloved old character to do it. We're supposed to believe, NOW, that Meredith is really a "hunter/slayer?" That she has a vampire twin? That she herself is part vampire who must eat a teaspoon of blood with every meal??? I call SHENANIGANS!!!!

Then, finally, there's the whole Damon aspect to this book. Damon starts off as human, but instead of doing something, ANYTHING, with this plot thread, he quickly arranges to become a vampire again. Then, he's killed, but not killed, at the end. Who cares? If he's not dead, why did we have to read his extended death scene? UGH.

And after all this aggravation, I have to say that I will check out the first Hunters book from the library, just to see if the ghostwriter will try to mimic the old books (in which case, kudos) or this new trash...at which point I'll check out permanently.

And WHERE IS STRANGE FATE??? Oh yeah, I forgot, they don't have a Night World TV series so it isn't necessary. I guarantee we will see some new Secret Circle book, riding the wave when THAT series comes out, before we ever see the book we old-time fans have been waiting for 11 years (and counting).

I am so sorry I ever picked up Nightfall to support L.J.'s return.

ADDENDUM I also just saw on L.J.'s website under "booklist" this message on the cover image "The face on the front is Audrey, who finally gets her just desserts..." Um, there IS no Audrey in this book or series. Audrey is a character in the Forbidden Game series, and NOT one who should get "just desserts." Did she mean Caroline? Way to know your own characters!
Oh my God. I completely loved this book! It was all about Damon and Elena, and that's what I loved about it.
