Satisfied Stelena stan

Being a Stelena fan that started the show before the books I needed this story.

I just don’t know about this..

I am trying hard to like this but it’s so different than the tv show and I hate this Caroline and this Elaina is a cry baby and none of these girls act like they could find their way out of a paper bag if their lives depended on it!! This Stefano seams like a weak person and this Damon is more evil than anything.. these books have no finesse at all, don’t seam to flow well together.. I want to read the rest of the book in the series but it’s almost painful just getting through this one..

Loved it...

Thought the cheesy vampire voice was going to be an obsticle... but I found that you quickly get over it.

Enjoyable

if you enjoyed the TV series, then true to form the Audible rendition is better. This series is well written, compelling, and the characters feel real.
I don't think you will be disappointed.

I love this series

Book 2 engaged me more with Elena’s struggle and Damon becoming more of a major character. Bonnie’s nature is revealed as well.

Love the dynamics

I really want more Elena /Damon interaction. The narrator is pretty good too. That is important when you listen to a series and i think they made the right choice in Rebecca Mozo.

Enjoyable and an escape.

Would you listen to The Vampire Diaries, Book 2 again? Why?

Maybe. I enjoy rereading books as it builds my comprehension and I tend to pay attention to piece that I may have missed previously.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Vampire Diaries, Book 2?

To be honest I am on book 4 now so it's hard to remember the best part because they have become one big story. I enjoy Damien as he is one of those bad boys with the heart of gold types

Which character – as performed by Rebecca Mozo – was your favorite?

Voice wise Bonnie.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No.

Good

In this second book the author introduced us to Damon, Stefan's older brother, who is charmed by the futile Elena. The story revolves around this love triangle. This is basically it.

LOVED IT

buying book 3 now. It is really getting interesting now. can't wait to hear more

voices ugh

the voices for Stefan and Damon drove me crazy. almost ruined the book for me but I struggled through. they sounded like whimps was awful
