Anyways, the first book in the saga is called THE AWAKENING, and its the story about "The most haunting love triangle of all. Two vampire brothers, one good and one evil, are in love with the same beautiful girl. Stefan meets Elena, and falls for her instantly. But he swears never to approach her because of his dark secret. On the other hand, Elena has sworn to make Stefan hers or die."
It was around 200 pages, and just after that, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, VOLUME 2: THE STRUGGLE came out.
THE STRUGGLE: "Damon is haunting Elena’s footsteps; coaxing and coercing her by turns. Stefan desperately tries to protect her from his brother. And Elena is having her blood drawn by two separate vampires. Meanwhile Caroline plots to expose Elena in front of the entire town. Can things get worse? They do, when Elena drives too fast over an unsafe bridge and drowns."
But, the story wasn't over yet, when the third volume, THE FURY, came out.
THE FURY: "It’s happened. Elena wakens as a vampire. She belongs to Damon, now, and to his world. The town mourns her as dead while she haunts the Old Wood by night. But by the time she remembers that Stefan is her true love, a new and powerful enemy appears. This is the last battle; and the only way Elena can win it is to sacrifice herself."
But now, the author of TVD, L. Jane Smith, has began revamping her famous vampire series. The continuation series is called THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: THE RETURN PART ONE: NIGHTFALL, THE RETURN PART TWO: SHADOW SOULS, THE RETURN PART THREE: MIDNIGHT.

If you go to www.LJaneSmith.net, you will see that the author, L.J.Smith, is planning on writing more of the TVD franchise. She even says on her site that "The Vampire Diaries 8-10 - "Not out yet, although the first is written. Will come out in single book hardback. I want to call them PHANTOM, EVENSONG, and ETERNITY, but of course, my publisher may have other ideas." - L.J. Smith.
There is even THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: STEFAN'S DIARY out now.
This book series has been turned into a TV show, and the first season is out on DVD now! The second season is in production as we speak, and only they know what's going to happen, as does L.J. Smith on the TVD book series.
Here are the images of the books by L.J. Smith. They don't go in order like I wrote them in this passage. Just make sure you check out the covers and what they read so you know which book the picture is, and enjoy!
