Hey, guys! I decided to go down a different path from here on out in the Vampire Diaries series. Let's ditch the awful writing of The Return series and the original Vampire Diaries series for something a bit different. This is a book based on the Vampire Diaries TV show which was based on the Vampire Diaries books. The reason I put LJ Smith in quotes is because, while her name is on the cover, she had no input in this book's writing process, and I'm grateful.

This is a boring cover. End of story. It has Stefan's face on it. (Have I mentioned I hate the half-face on book covers? Because I do)

Official Description:
A love triangle that will span eternity…
The year is 1864 and the Civil War rages on. But seventeen-year-old Stefan Salvatore is fighting a battle all his own. Engaged to marry someone he does not love, Stefan falls for a mysterious girl named Katherine. With her gleaming curls and mischievous brown eyes, Katherine is beautiful and seduction…but she also harbors a dark secret: She’s a vampire.Based on the popular CW TV show inspired by the bestselling novels, Stefan’s Diaries reveals what really happened between Stefan, Damon, and Katherine—and how the Vampire Diaries love triangle began.(Note: This book is written by a ghostwriter)
My Review:
This was infinitely better than the original Vampire a Diaries series and The Return series. Both of those series were decent at best and trash at worst. However, I really enjoyed Stefan's Diaries book one.
My reasons:
1. Stefan is a much less irritating main character than Elena. He's just a strong character who I can relate to.
2. The writing style was much better than LJ Smith's (who didn't write this book).
3. The plot was interesting and not stupid.
This book was by no means that best book I've ever read, but it was much better than I expected.

I got really involved in this books plot and felt for all of Stefan's difficulties throughout the story.
I would definitely recommend Origins to anyone really. It's definitely more of a girl book than a guy book, but do what you want to do.
