Following The Vampire Diaries Book 1&2: The Awakening and The Struggle comes The Vampire Diaries Book 3&4: The Fury and Dark Reunion. Just like the first and second book were put in to one, the third and fourth were too. And also like the first book, this book is incredible!

Synopsis (as seen on back of book)
Elena: transformed, the golden girl has become what she once feared and desired.

Stefan: tormented by losing Elena, he's determined to end his feud with Damon once and for all—whatever the cost. But slowly he begins to realize that his brother is not his only enemy.

Damon: at last, he possesses Elena. But will his thirst for revenge against Stefan poison his triumph? Or can they come together to face one final battle?

My Synopsis

Now in this book, Stefan and Damon, the two brothers, continue to fight for Elena. SPOILER!! But Elena has transformed in to what they are, a vampire, which is infuriating to Stefan but wonderful to Damon. And Stefan, who is the one protecting Elena, has discovered that his brother is not his only enemy. There is another unseen Power in the small town of Fell's Church. More people are being murdered and hurt. Elena, Stefan and Damon are being watched and have been for a long time. They must discover who is threatening them before they all die and Stefan and Damon discover that they must work together and put aside their thirst for revenge against each other to save Elena. But will they be able to or will it just turn in to another battle for Elena's love? Which characters will live or which will die in this never ending adventure? Will they be able to stop this dangerous Power or will all fail? Everything goes down in this dark and riveting book.

This book in my opinion is just as good as the first one, maybe even better. If you loved the first book you'll definitely love this one too. I seriously could not put the book down. I fell in love with Stefan and Damon both. Elena, with her two friends Bonnie and Meredith, are such heroic female characters. You actually feel like you're living the drama. L.J Smith's book is engrossing and her writing is phenomenal. The story is also definitely touching and I found myself almost weeping near the end of the book. The characters have such profound bonds it's unbelievable. And there is more character development in the book too. Hope you'll enjoy reading this book as much as the first one because I certainly did.
