    of books
    written in

    m,
    fantasy
    and
    fiction.
    The characters in the books
    of Lisa Jane Smith are either
    supernatural or human, all
    beautiful and young. Most often,
    the plot in her books is a
    variation on the conflict of good

    and idealistic, but still have a
    certain charm.

    Salvatore.
    Torn between two vampire brothers
    SUMMARY
    Damon: determined to make Elena his, he'd kill his own brother to
    possess her.
    Stefan: desperate for the power to destroy Damon, and protect
    Elena, he gives in to his thirst for human blood.
    Elena: the girl who can have anyone finds herself in the middle of a
    love triangle . . . one that might turn deadly.
    PLOT
    The second book picks up where
    the first book, The Awakening,
    left off and delves further into
    Damon's ongoing attempts to
    win Elena's affections and
    Stefan's struggle to survive.
    When Stefan went missing, Elena seeks out Damon and confronts
    him in the graveyard, knowing that it will be dangerous. Damon
    claims he killed Stefan the previous night.
    Elena has Bonnie McCullough tune into Stefan's thoughts and with
    the help of Matt Honeycutt, they find Stefan in a well, near death.
    Elena saves Stefan by giving him some of her blood.
    Elena also exchanges blood
    with Damon, making a secret
    deal with him she kept hidden
    from Stefan, knowing he would
    disapprove, tying herself to
    both brothers as Katherine did
    centuries ago.
    While waiting for Stefan one night,
    Elena feels as if a presence inside a
    storm is coming for her, and she
    frantically tries to escape by crossing
    the bridge over a river. The car, which
    she has borrowed from Matt, veers
    off the road and into the river, and she
    drowns.
    POINTS OF VIEW
    There are several points of view used
    throughout The Awakening and The
    Struggle of The Vampire Diaries, ranging
    from second to third person. The use of
    these 'personal' second person points of
    view makes the story seem more intimate
    and allows the reader to get into the minds
    and the emotions of the protagonists much
    more easily. The author uses this second
    person narrative to highlight the emotional
    drama going on under the surface of the
    events, and helps the reader to understand
    the motivations of the characters.
    The two main points of view are either
    from Elena Gilbert's perspective or the
    vampire Stefan Salvatore's, with
    occasional third person scenes as
    Meredith, Bonnie and Matt have to
    react to Elena's actions or escape
    danger. This switching between the
    two main protagonists Elena and
    Stefan allows the reader to examine
    their relationship from both angles.
