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.

Perfect for fans of Midnight Sun (Stephanie Meyer), The Beautiful (Renée Ahdieh and Crave, Vampire Diaries is filled with heart-stopping suspense, fierce romances, and jaw-dropping surprises that have captured millions of fans and inspired the hit TV show (available on Netflix and ITVX).
