                                                 Choice book report
     I read the Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith. Elena is the main character and lives in Fell's Church. She doesn't care much for the small town but knows that she is the queen of it. She is the trendsetter, everybody at her school wants to be her friend, and they follow what she does. Elena has silky, straight golden hair, pale skin, and lapis lazuli eyes. Her parents died in a car accident and she now lives with her aunt Judith along with her little sister, Margaret. She cannot stop visiting the near by grave yard where her parents are buried in and friends always find her there writing in her blue velvet diary. Elena has felt lost like she was always trying to look for something. When Stephan, a mysterious new boy from a different country comes along she finds that she is suppose to be with him. Elena is always determined. When Stephan first came to her school and always tried to avoid her she wanted him to be hers. She has strong emotions about things and people. She once hated Damon, Stephan's brother who was tormenting him by making him think he killed the people that Damon did. Her feelings of hatred for him were so strong that Damon could feel them from her school to the graveyard. And her feelings for Stephan which she never tried to hide even when he would never say how he felt about her. Elena is a dynamic character. Before Stephan and Damon came along she didn’t care for anything or anyone but herself. She was inconsiderate and selfish. The popularity boys drooling over her was all she thought there was to it. She falls in love with Stephen and knows longer cares about moving on to the next boy or being popular. Her true passion for her small town comes out in the end when she is fighting for it and everybody inside against evil. And after fighting for Stephen too from people she thought would never betray her, her true friends were there right by her side. She used to take Bonnie, Meredith, and Matt for granted but she realizes they would never back down to help her no matter how high the danger was. Elena also changes physically by becoming a creature of the darkness, a vampire.

     I liked this book because it was full mysteries and two people who try to push through it. The Vampire Diaries takes place in a small town called, Fell’s Church that holds a lot of supernatural things. Elena is the queen bee of her school and she is beginning her senior year. Stephan a new boy at the school, has moved from Italy to start fresh and get away from his brother, Damon. Elena doesn’t know why he tries so hard to keep a distance with her. She reminds him of a dark secret that he has kept for hundreds of years. Eventually he cannot stay away from her and falls in love. Damon, Stephan’s irresponsible brother, moves into the small town too first watching over Elena and terrorizing her and Stephan. Strange things start to happen exactly when he appears. Numerous people die with every single drop of their blood being taken out.
Caroline one of Elena's best friend is jealous of her popularity and becomes her enemy along with Tyler a tall, masculine boy. Elena keeps a diary that she finds out one day is stolen, the same day that Damon had snuck into her friend, Bonnie's house when she was over. Somehow the diary leads to Caroline which has her come up with the perfect idea to accuse Stephan of the killings and have the whole town believe it. It becomes a race for Elena, Stephan and her three closest friends Bonnie, Meredith, and Matt to get back her diary and save Stephan. Damon becomes the hero miraculously getting the diary when no one else could. But all evidence still leads to Damon of the killings, animals turning against people, and one icident where Stephan nearly dies all very supernatural things. But Damon knows that he didn't kill all those people and though he despises his brother he doesn't want to kill him. Their mystery leads to a sudden hault when Elena is killed( spoiler) by the culpret. Devestated with anger and sadness Stephan goes on a rampage drinking tons of amounts of Tyler, Caroline and other innocent people. He believes that Damon was the one who killed her and the two end in a fight of death. The super natural power doesn't stop there and Elena dies but becomes something like Stephan, a vampire. And she can't remember hardly anything except for one person. The book ends on a cliff hanger but the unsolved mystery leads on to the next one in the series. It is called, The Vampire Diaries: The Fury and Dark Reunion.
