Publisher's summary

The devil you know....

With the help of charming and devious Damon, Elena rescued her vampire love, Stefan, from the depths of the Dark Dimension. But neither brother returned unscathed.

Stefan is weak from his long imprisonment and needs more blood than Elena alone can give him, while a strange magic has turned Damon into a human. Savage and desperate, Damon will do anything to become a vampire again - even travel back to hell. But what will happen when he accidentally takes Bonnie with him?

Stefan and Elena hurry to rescue their innocent friend from the Dark Dimension, leaving Matt and Meredith to save their hometown from the dangerous spirits that have taken hold of Fell's Church. One by one, children are succumbing to demonic designs. But Matt and Meredith soon discover that the source of the evil is darker - and closer - than they ever could have imagined....

Major cliffhanger!

I loved this book but hated the way it ended. It wasn't a bad ending but one so wonderful that I didn't want the book to end there. I can't wait to start the next one to find out what happens next!

It is sad that the next series are not in audio

If you could sum up The Vampire Diaries: The Return: Midnight in three words, what would they be?

Ok. I like the ending. The middle was kinda boring, but it was a great story nevertheless. I just love the dark dimension.

Very well done

This is probably my second favorite installment of the series so far after Shadow Souls. We say goodbye to a few characters and we learn about the backgrounds of others. Bonnie is still only a quasi-psychic and Elena still can’t decide between Stefan and Damon to save her life, but overall, it was well done.

I do wonder how the series will continue to develop.

Good entertainment...

Okay listen (Damon is hot!) but too much focus on Elena. Would have wished for Bonnie (or anyone else really) to shine some more. Don't like that Elena takes up all the space and seems to take for granted that she is the center of them all.

Awful accents

The only thing annoying is the accents the reader uses for vampires. Very disappointing and distracting

Call me silly but I love Stephan Damon & Elena!

This one and the previous book are the best in the series! some of the storyline is childish, but really Damon makes up for it all. I love his dynamics with Elena. (and I'm not 15 y/o 🤦🏻‍♀️)
