No Where as good as the Orginal Series - By: WeeShubbie, 05 Sep 2010 
I adore the orginal Vampire Diaries Series & was so excited for this book as LJ Smith is one of my fave authors. However, I was really disappointed. I know that authors writing style change over the years & you can really tell with this book. It is meant to be set just a week or so after the orginal series ended yet they have all got phones & laptops & computers. (that not a bad things just doesnt follow well with the other books). I just feel that this new series is missing the originality of the orginal 4 four books.
Brilliant - By: Lindi, 10 Aug 2010 
I love the whole series of the VD novels so far, enjoyed this one loads & have read it several times, the novels just get better & better!
Excellent - By: Mrs. A. M. Chadwick, 09 Aug 2010 The series on ITV2 called the "Vampire Diaries finished a couple of weeks ago, (sob sob), & I really enjoyed it. :-)
The series was based on novels by L.J.Smith during the period it was on TV I decided to buy the first four novelsin the series, as I know usually the novels that series are based on are even better, & I wasn't disappointed. :-)
So when the fifth book was realised I couldn't wait to buy it, as soon as it arrived I started to read it.
Elena sacrificed herself to save both Stefan & Damon but she was sent to a fate beyond death. But a very powerful supernatural force brought her back, now Elena is not just a normal human she has powers.
Elena's human friends: Bonnie, Meredith & Matt grow suspicious of Caroline's strange behaviour whilst trying to support Stefan's efforts to help Elena.
Stefan is lured away by an evil force ad Damon takes this chance to convince her that he's the one for her, but not everything is as it seems with Damon.
There's a darkness that's now covering Fell's Church & a malevolent creature is hell bent on hunting Damon as he can help him to get the one thing he wants, Elena.
Well, I don't want to say anymore about the story as I really don't want to spoil it for you.
The author grips you right from the start; her characters & the story are extremely well written. It's a very enjoyable & compulsive read; I just couldn't put this book down. :-)
If you're like me & you've been watching the TV series this is a must read. It's more involved & the story goes a little deeper into what's happenedin the past. :-)
Even though these books are classed as young adult books, anyone from 14 years onward will enjoy them. It's an excellent horror novel & worth every penny. :-)
Transfixed and spellbound - By: Mrs. D. Simpson, 26 Jul 2010 What can i say after reading the other two books this one is awsome, again could not put it down.
What was all this about???? - By: Maria, 22 Jul 2010 
I'm not quite sure where to start.... I need to say that I absolutely loved the first 4 books. I read them back to back & couldn't get enough of them. So when I started with Nightfall I was full of expectations & excitement, only to be disappointed from the first page. Seriously what was all this book about??
Firstly I got annoyed with this baby like Elena, I mean she can't read, she can't write, she can't talk, she can't even walk for crying out loud. SHE FLOATS INSTEAD. She needs to kiss people to memorise them. I mean WHAT??? I started to miss the Elena Gilbert who knows what she wants & gets what she wants, always immaculate & knows it. As annoying as she might have been but nothing compares to this angel Elena.... Not impressed.
Second I got annoyed with St Stefan, always thought of him a bit spineless but if I thought he can't get any worse well I was wrong. Seriously what was all this 'lovely little love' all about?? OH PLEASE. And why is it that he's meant to be a vampire & strong etc & it seems to be Elena getting HIM out of trouble all the time? She's always rescuing him as he seems unable to look after himself!
Third I got annoyed with Bonnie & Meredith, always been my favourite characters among Elena & Damon but not now. I mean they seemed to be running around like headless chickens with no purpose whatsoever.
Last I got annoyed with all this flying... They never used to be flying anywhere & now all they do is fly everywhere! Don't get it. Allin all I didn't get most of the book but nevermind. It was confusing, half the things that were going on I couldn't picturein my mind. Some things seemed so pointless & not connected to anything, just seemed like a total mess the whole book.
The Only reason this book managed to get 2 stars from me was because of Damon. Only reason that kept me reading. I would recommend anyone who haven't read these books yet to read the first 4 & leave it like that, I wish I had.
