About this listen
The New York Times best-selling series!
The first book in L.J. Smith's New York Times best-selling Vampire Diaries series, the basis of the hit CW TV show starring Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder.
Elena Gilbert is a high school golden girl, used to getting what she wants. And who she wants. But when the boy she's set her sights on - the handsome and haunted Stefan - isn't interested, she's confused. She could never know the real reason Stefan is struggling to resist her:
Stefan is a vampire, and Elena's in danger just by being around him. What's more, Stefan's dark, dangerous vampire brother Damon has just arrived in town. And wherever Damon goes, trouble always follows.
Fans of The Vampire Diaries TV show will find this book packed with the same kind of heart-stopping suspense, fierce romances, and jaw-dropping surprises that they know and love, all brought to life by New York Times best-selling author L.J. Smith.

Didn't really enjoy it

I really enjoyed the TV series of The Vampire Diaries, and they pronounce Salvatore as "Sal-va-tor". The narrator of this book pronounces Salvatore as "Sal-va-tory". It had me cringing everytime she said it.
Stefans voice is so horrible, really couldn't tolerate listening to it.
It was hard to know what was happening at times - the book just seemed to jump between the present and past without any indication of where the timeline is at, and it would randomly jump between the perspectives of Elena and Stefan.
Perhaps reading the book would be a better experience than listening to it.
Terrible

Stefan is weak and the narrator is awful. The end.
This is... bad
