Ideal for young adults readers or those transitioning to teens, the set of 13 books tells an incredible story in its own right so prepare to devour each and every one. An increasingly popular collection of gripping books, it’s no surprise that The Vampire Diaries: The Complete Collection went on to become a hit TV series too.

It started out as a trilogy, originally published in 1991. However, the popularity of these novels written by L. J. Smith led to a further ten books, all included in this box set. This collection is ideal for readers who want to binge-read by exploring an intriguing narrative that brings together strands of romance, drama, horror and, of course, vampires! 

The Vampire Diaries: The Complete Collection follows Elena Gilbert, a young girl attending high school. She soon finds herself torn between two Italian brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore.

Readers will soon learn that the brothers are centuries-old vampires.

Playing on the stereotype of a popular and beautiful high school golden girl, Elena is a character who is pretty used to getting what she wants. When she meets handsome, haunted Stefan Salvatore, he struggles to resist her for fear that his dark secret is too much for her to handle. He’s torn by guilt over his past and mindful of the threat that his vengeful brother, Damon, poses to anyone Stefan gets close to. Soon Elena finds herself torn between two brothers and in terrible danger. It is here that the story narrative unfolds, revealing antagonists and protagonists. At the same time, the writer cleverly uses different points of view to tell each story.

The Vampire Diaries: The Complete Collection contains the original quartet by L. J. Smith and her follow-up trilogy, The Vampire Diaries: The Return.

Description :

The Awakening
Elena Gilbert is used to getting what she wants, and she wants mysterious new boy, Stefan. But Stefan is hiding a deadly secret – a secret that will change Elena’s life forever…

The Struggle
Elena is torn between her boyfriend, Stefan, and his brother, Damon. But these brothers hide dark secrets and a tragic past that threatens them all. Damon wants to lead Elena astray – and he’d rather kill Stefan than let him possess her.

The Fury
Faced with an ancient evil, Stefan and Damon must stop their feuding and join forces with Elena to confront it. But in so doing, they are unwittingly sealing her fate…

The Reunion
Elena summons the vampire trio once more to unite and challenge their fate. Together they will be called to face the most terrifying evil Fell’s Church has ever known.

Nightfall
Elena Gilbert is alive – again.

When Elena sacrificed herself to save the two vampire brothers who loved her, she was consigned to a fate beyond death. Until a powerful supernatural force pulled her back.

Now Elena is not just human. She has powers. What’s more, her blood pulses with a unique force that makes her irresistible to any vampire.

Both brothers still want Elena to be theirs, but something bigger and more powerful than all of them may want her more.

Shadow Souls
Elena Gilbert is once again at the centre of magic and danger beyond her imagining. And once more, Stefan isn’t there to help! Elena is forced to trust her life to Damon, the handsome but deadly vampire who wants Elena, body and soul. They must journey to the slums of the Dark Dimension, a world where vampires and demons roam free, but humans must live as slaves of their supernatural masters. Damon’s brother, the brooding vampire Stefan whom Elena loves, is imprisoned here. Elena can only free him by finding the two hidden halves of the key to his cell.

Meanwhile, the tension between Elena and Damon mounts until Elena is faced with a terrible decision: which brother does she really want to be with?

The drama, danger and star-crossed love that fills each Vampire Diaries book is in full effect here, with Elena Gilbert once again filled with supernatural powers.

Midnight
In Midnight, golden girl Elena Gilbert is back from the Dark Dimension, having successfully freed her vampire boyfriend, Stefan Salvatore, from imprisonment. Saving Stefan had an unlikely consequence: his vampire brother Damon Salvatore has become a mortal. While the trio reels from this latest twist, they must still deal with the demons that have taken over Elena’s hometown, Fell’s Church.

Phantom
Since meeting vampire brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore, Elena Gilbert has been to hell and back. Now that she and her friends have saved their hometown from a demonic spirit, everything can finally go back to normal.

But Elena should know better than anyone that Fell’s Church will never be normal. In PHANTOM, a dangerous new other-worldly threat sets its sights on Elena. And this time, she can only count on one Salvatore brother to protect her.

Moonsong
Life is better than ever. Elena and her friends can’t wait to attend Dalcrest College. But when students start to disappear from campus, suddenly, every new acquaintance is a potential enemy.

Then Elena uncovers a long-hidden secret, one that shocks her to the core. She realises that darkness has followed her from Fell’s Church. But will it be Stefan or Damon who catches her when she falls?
