Gr 9 Up-This first book in the new story arc in the "Vampire Diaries" series features the same characters who appeared in The Awakening and the Struggle (2007) and The Fury and Dark Reunion (2008, both HarperTeen). Elena Gilbert has been reborn but is trapped in a childlike state, suffering from amnesia. She not only possesses extraordinary superpowers, but is also a magnet to vampires everywhere. As she regains her adult mind, she loses the ability to control her powers. Damon, who never truly leaves at the end of Dark Reunion, becomes determined to have Elena all to himself. At the same time, a new evil descends on Fell's Church, something far worse and more sinister than anything the town has encountered before. This villainous creature possesses humans, particularly young teenage girls. Even worse is its possession and manipulation of powerful Damon, who is trusted by Elena and her friends. Controlled against his will, he inflicts harm on the people he has promised to keep safe. Smith writes from several different perspectives, which adds some dimension to the plot but it is disjointed and hard to follow. The story is dark, full of suspense, and, at times, extremely creepy. Unfortunately the magical and horror elements are not thoroughly convincing, and this new evil seems to come right out of a Japanese anime comic. Purchase where Smith has a fan base or there is a strong vampire following.-Donna Rosenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.

5.0 out of 5 based on 5 reviews. 5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 17/08/2009

This book was very good! It continues with the story of the dreaded love triangle between Stefan, Elena and Damon. They are faced again with a bunch of nasties coming to get them and this time it might be harder than it seems to get rid of them. It was a lot longer than previous books but the story doesn't get boring at any point. highly recommended.
