In 1991, author Lisa Jane (L.J.) Smith published her quartet, The Vampire Diaries. It follows the life of teenager Elena Gilbert, an ice-hearted popularity queen. When a new boy in town shows up at school, she is instantly smitten--but there are untold secrets about Stefan Salvatore that will change her world forever. For starters, he's a vampire...
Then a new player shows up in town, just as handsome as Stefan but twice the bad boy. It's Stefan's brother, Damon, a cold-blooded killer. But when the Salvatore brothers see Elena, they are obsessed - after all, she looks just like their maker, Katherine. And Katherine wrapped the boys around her little fingers until they turned against each other and she supposedly died.
The Vampire Diaries became a TV Show on the CW network in 2009. It features Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder as the love triangle stars.
Originally, the series was a trilogy, but when the third book left the narrator dead, LJ Smith was asked to pen a fourth book. Then, when the vampire scene sublimated the teenage market with Twilight, the publishers requested an installment of three more The Vampire Diaries novels. These are called The Vampire Diaries: The Return and follow Damon and Elena after she returned from the dead. There will be a total of 7 in the Vampire Diaries series.
