1. Team Damon? Hell YES. [TVD s03e19]

**SPOILER ALERT: Don't read if you haven't read Dark Reunion or watched episode 19 of the TV show.**

OK, so I've been a TVD fan since reading the books a couple of years ago (look at my old review! LOL), and I've always loved Damon. Even when he was stalking Elena in his crow form (remember that? I wished they'd included it in the TV series! LJ gave drinking human blood a whole new meaning!).

He comes off as a tough bloke, but deep down, he just wants to be loved (queue *awww*). And the fact that he's played by Ian Sommerhalder in the small screen doesn't hurt either. 

My favourite parts would always be when he and Elena would be together in the books. His love for her is so different than Stefan's, so much more intense. He'd always be in the sidelines watching his brother be with the one he loves. 

Book Damon becomes absolutely adorable, even though he doesn't want it to show. And TV Damon is the same. Can you love a character so much? He makes me swoon every time I see him! 

TVD producers: THANK YOU! Thanks for this:

Those abs! They kill me! And his face, so cute! 
Then Elena looks at him with her big, alluring eyes...
...and of course he goes to her!

When Damon tries to take her hand... (I'm going to be a total fangirl now, I don't even care). OMG, SWOON. It made every butterfly in my tummy dance with happiness! But dumb Elena up and leaves.

Seriously? What is wrong with you, girl?!

But, oh oh! THE MOMENT WE'VE (OR AT LEAST ME) ALL BEEN WAITING F

2. The Vampire Diaries Episode 3.05 Recap: "The Reckoning"

Recap by Jess
THIS WEEK'S EPISODE SEEMED TO HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING! The way last weeks episode ended we knew we were in for something crazy this week! There was no room for disappointment.



Matt
Matt is alone working out in the very dark high school and he keeps hearing these sounds, so he goes to investigate, he thinks he hears something from a classroom and enters, and to his surprise, lots of mousetraps go off and there is a very displeased Caroline. Surprise Matt, it's senior prank night! Honestly? How could you forget senior prank night?

Elena
Elena heads off on her own so she can glue Alaric's desk shut, but she doesn't quite make it there. She rounds a corner...hello Klaus. Klaus drags Elena down the halls of her school into the gym, where he sends everyone away, except for two humans he wants to play with a little bit.

Damon and Katherine
Damon pulls over the car, then throws the keys away and demands answers from Katherine. She tells him she has the necklace Klaus is looking for...it's leverage. She also has a plan...and it includes Jeremy who is unconscious in the trunk.


Everyone minus Caroline and Stefan
Elena and Klaus are in the gym, waiting seemingly for Bonnie and Matt to enter, and when they do, Klaus lets Bonnie know that it is her fault that Elena is still alive, and that caused a problem for him, so she needs to fix it. After Rebecca took down Caroline she dragged Tyler into the gym to join the pow-wow. Klaus explains that he needs his hybrids to work and they don't because they always die in transition. Klaus feeds Tyler his blood and snaps his neck. Bonnie needs to work fast.

Katherine, Damon and Jeremy
Katherine knows that Klaus is running from someone, and Katherine's friend Pearl knows who, Damon points out that Pearl is dead, Katherine says that she only ever told one person, and that was her daughter...Anna. Damon points out that she is dead, too. But...he doesn't know that Jeremy can contact the dead.

Klaus, Elena and Stefan
Elena and Klaus are in the gym and Stefan enters. He comes to pledge his allegiance to Klaus and tell him that he will do whatever he wants. He also throws in that Elena means nothing to him at all anymore. As Elena is telling Stefan that Klaus wont hurt her, he back hands her and she ends up on the floor and Stefan attacks Klaus. So much for Stefan not caring! Klaus compels him to stop fighting him and simply obey everything he says. Then he goes on to kill the two innocent kids Klaus kept to play with.

Damon, Katherine and Jeremy
They are waiting for Jeremy to contact Anna. Finally she appears for him, but she doesn't want to help until....Damon bashes Jeremy's head off of a picnic table...Anna still cares about Jeremy. She reveals that the information they are looking for is...Michael...a vampire who hunts vampires. And it would be a very bad idea to wake him up.

3. The Vampire Diaries Episode 3.03 Recap: "The End of the Affair"


Recap by Jess

Damon and Katherine
No, not literally Damon and Katherine, Katherine makes a call to Damon, to see what has been going on in Mystic Falls. She knows where Stefan and Klaus are but she doesn't feel the need to share naturally.

Stefan and Klaus
They arrive in Chicago, a place where Stefan seems to have a vibrant past. FLASHBACK MODE! (I believe it's sometime during the twenties or thirties) Stefan is killing this girl in the back of a buggy, though not very classy, Stefan seems to enjoy it. He enters a club and runs into a beautiful blonde woman, who informs Stefan, "You're still wearing your date, she's lovely." I thought it was witty. :) PRESENT DAY! Klaus informs Stefan Chicago is magical, but Stefan says he doesn't remember a lot of it.

Damon and Elena
Elena is woken by Damon who is laying in her bed while she was sleeping...hey I'd be alright with that. ;)Once she gets over her shock of Damon being in her bed, he tells her to get ready, they are going to Chicago to bring Stefan home.


Caroline
Poor Caroline. She is still all captured and stuff, tied to a bolted down chair. Being held captive by none other than Daddy Dearest. Her dad finds that she can only walk in the sunlight with her ring, he kindly removes it. He plans to condition her by letting sunlight hit her to "fix" her. He wants her to not want blood.


Elena and Damon
Road trippin' it up to Chicago. Damon gives Elena Stefan's diary from his first stint in Chicago. And....FLASHBACK! Back in the club, Stefan and his friends are scolded for being too loud by the beautiful nameless blonde. Later...Damon and Elena are in Stefan's old apartment from the 20's he stayed in. Elena finds a very long list of names, names of Stefan's victims.

Stefan, Klaus and Gloria
Back in present time, Klaus and Stefan go to the very club that he was in all that time ago, and meet with Gloria, a very powerful witch, who was from the same time period Stefan was last in Chicago. Magic works wonders apparently! Klaus and Gloria talk, and to find out what Klaus is doing wrong so he can create his hybrids, Gloria says she needs a woman named Rebecca. Klaus says that Rebecca is preoccupied, which is too bad, because Gloria needs Rebecca. Stefan finds a picture...very interesting, it is a picture from the past of Stefan and Klaus together, looking very friendly.

Klaus and Stefan
Stefan wants information on the photo he found, and Klaus goes into a story! FLASHBACK! Stefan and blondie are feasting upon a nice little lady, and Klaus steps in and pulls Blondie...excuse me...Rebecca away from Stefan. Rebecca and Klaus are brother and sister. Both of them Originals. PRESENT DAY! Back in a warehouse, Stefan po

4. The Vampire Diaries Episode 3.02 Recap: "The Hybrid"


Recap by Jess

Klaus and Stefan
Poor Klaus, he wants so badly to build his vampire/werewolf hybrid slaves...my mistake, "Not slaves -- soldiers. Comrades." as Klaus so gently puts it. He brings a still dead Ray Sutton to a werewolf pack, in the middle of the woods of course! and Ray wakes up, into the transformation period of turning into a vampire. His pack starts freaking out...then someone is forced to give Ray human blood so he doesn't die...it should turn him into a perfect hybrid...Klaus doesn't wait to find out before turning the entire pack into hybrids...only something goes freakishly wrong, and they all pretty much turn into werewolf/vampire zombies. They also bleed from the eyes which in my book is very creepy unless it's from vampires in True Blood. :P

Tyler
Tyler talks to his mom in the morning after Caroline was shot down by her (that's what she gets for sneaking out in the middle of the night! Shame on her!). He drinks vervain coffee and notices a flavor difference but doesn't know why it tastes off.

Matt and Jeremy
At Mystic Grill, they talk about how Jeremy really does see Vikki, ever since he was brought back from the dead using magic! It's time to contact Vikki from beyond the grave and find out why she asked Jeremy for help (Episode 1)!

Tyler and Elena
At the Mystic Grill, talking about werewolves, and Elena's certainty that Stefan is with Klaus who must be with the werewolf pack. Now where would this werewolf pack be? In the woods of course! A nice mountain range to be exact.

Tyler
Tyler is at the Mystic Grill, orders a coffee there, and Matt informs him that there is vervain in the coffee.

Elena, Rick and Damon
Walking through the woods! Trying to find the pack of werewolves! Doesn't make too much sense to me, you know, Elena and Rick being human and all. Elena begins to tell Rick he's not a lost cause when tada! Here's Damon! He pushes her into the water she was looking at, apparently she looked like she wanted to swim. Damon questions why she would want to go after Stefan who is surrounded by a pack of werewolves, and Klaus, who thinks she's dead! They argue about it for a little, and Elena wins another battle to one of the Salvatore brothers. SHOCK! :)

Stefan
Stefan sees and hears Elena, Damon and Rick while he is pursuing runaway zombie hybrid, Ray Sutton. Klaus comes up behind Stefan and Stefan tries to lead him away from where Elena, Damon and Rick are, Klaus asks where Ray is and Stefan tries to just get Klaus to forget him, but no. Stefan was bitten by Ray and has a werewolf bite, Klaus says "I'll tell you what, you find Ray, then I'll heal you."

Klaus
Klaus walks back to find all his hybrids waking up and starting to transform into what ray is, a zombie hybrid!

Tyler and Mrs. Lockwood
Tyler is at home to see mother dearest and he accuses her of putting vervain in his coffe, and he asks why. They identify that Caroline is a vampire or a monster in Mommy's eyes, boo! Go vampires! :) Tyler insists his mother come with him, to prove that if Caroline is a monster, she hasn't seen nothin' yet! Fancy that...it's a full moon. It's high time that Mrs. Lockwood f

5. The Vampire Diaries Episode 3.01 Recap: "The Birthday"

Recap by Jessica

The season premiere of The Vampire Diaries starts out in Tennessee with a woman calling for her dog, and Klaus comes walking up, asking to use the phone because his car broke down up the road and the woman is very obviously suspicious but Klaus talks his way into the woman's house. Once inside the house, there is another woman inside, and she begins to run when she finds that Klaus is looking for Ray Sutton, but Stefan is the ever so faithful back-up.

The girls finally admit to knowing where he is but Klaus can't just let them go and this is where we see that Stefan is not the same old Stefan but a monster. Klaus gives the order to kill the girls, one quickly and making the other one suffer. Klaus saunters away from the house with screams coming from it.

Elena wakes up to a bright bedroom in a seemingly solemn mood, she walks to open the curtains and it turns into her opening Jeremy's curtains much to his disdain and lets him know he's late for work and Elena walks from the room and Jeremy looks mentally exhausted.

Caroline and Elena are on the phone talking about her 18th birthday party that is planned for that night. Caroline also mentions that her mom found out there was another 'animal attack' in Memphis, and it could be a lead to Stefan and Klaus. Elena is determined to track down Stefan and find him. She is desperate to know that he is alive.

Elena and Alaric talk about the possibilities that Stefan is either dead or working with Klaus. Elena checks with Alaric to make sure he's still okay sleeping on the couch because there are two open bedrooms in the house, of course one is Elena's dead parents room, and the other is Alaric's dead girlfriends room.

Damon is drinking champagne in the bathtub while his girlfriend gets ready for work, they are also talking about the possible whereabouts of Stefan. Damon gets out of the tub, covered in bubbles and walks downstairs to get more as Elena is walking through the house. Damon appears behind her and she turns around and jumps then quickly turns back around when she finds that he is naked. Damon says; "Hey, you should learn to knock, what if I was... indecent." with his Damon smirk.

Elena gives him the info on the new Stefan lead in Memphis and Damon amends that he will go check it out and Elena should not because Klaus thinks she's dead and it should be kept that way.

Jeremy is video chatting with Bonnie while he's at work talking about having a little normal in his life, as the lights flicker on and off. Jeremy rushes Bonnie off the phone. The lights flicker off again and when they come back on Vicky is standing in front of him then Anna is behind him.

Caroline and Tyler eat lunch at the Mystic Grill and Matt asks Jeremy to switch sections so Matt doesn't have to see Caroline and Tyler together.

Now at the Southern Comfort Bar, we meet Ray Sutton, where Klaus finds him with Stefan as back up of course. Klaus wants to know where Ray's pack of werewolves are and when Ray isn't willing to give the information, they decide to play Truth of Wolfs bane. Everyone in the bar is compelled to see nothing.

Damon and Alaric go to Memphis to check out the lead on Stefan and find the two women in pieces then put back together, which apparently is Stefan's trademark.

Caroline, Tyler and Elena are getting ready for Elena's party talking about Damon shutting Elena down when it comes to looking for Stefan. There is some HUGE sexual tension and they tell each other about how being a vampire and a werewo

7. Book Review: The Vampire Diaries Origins by L.J. Smith

**WARNING! If you have not read The Vampire Diaries there could be spoilers!

Publisher: HarperTeen (November 2, 2010)
Paperback: 256 Pages
Genre: YA Fantasy
Series: The Vampire Diaries: Stefan's Diaries # 1
Set during the Civil War, against a backdrop of grand estates, unimaginable riches, and deadly secrets, three teenagers in Mystic Falls, Virginia enter a torrid love triangle that will span eternity.

Brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore are inseparable until they meet Katherine, a stunning, mysterious woman who turns their world upside down. Siblings turned rivals, the Salvatores compete for Katherine's affection, only to discover that her sumptuous silk dresses and glittering gems hide a terrible secret: Katherine is a vampire. And she is intent on turning them into vampires so they can live together-forever.

Review (By Jessica)
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: STEFAN'S DIARIES, by L.J. Smith with help from Kevin Williamson, and Julie Peck, the creators of the hit TV-Show goes back before Elena and before Stefan and Damon were vampires. I saw this book and almost had a heart attack! This is the story of how Stefan and Damon came to be the super-hot vampires they are today!

The book surprised me by starting off in a completely normal setting, Stefan being the responsible son while Damon has joined the civil war efforts for the South then became a deserter. Stefan and Damon's father clearly wishes Damon would be more responsible and be around more on the estate that should rightfully be his in the future, but he also appreciates everything Stefan tries to do, I was SHOCKED by how normal it was, and honestly a little disappointed. Fortunately it didn't last long.

Enter Katherine Peirce, outrageously beautiful and she just happens to be a vampire. She artfully snares both Damon and Stefan into a tragic love triangle, but the triangle cannot last, for Stefan is to be married to a local girl. I was sad to hear that he wasn't going to be able to be with Katherine and of course Damon would move in, but Katherine had other plans, which I wanted to jump up in down for! Stefan's betrothed goes missing the night of the Founder's Day Ball only to be found with her throat torn out and that's when the hunting parties are let loose.

Things really pick up speed just about half-way through, and it is literally impossible to put the book down. L.J. Smith has wowed me as usual and with the help of the TV-Show creators the book is absolutely flawless. If you have read, or even started to read the Vampire Diaries I highly recommend this! And if you are a fan of Katherine like me, and wish for more of her whenever you can, this is the perfect fix!

8. I’ll be watching it


vampirediariesAccording to Variety,

The CW is looking to take a bite out of the vampire craze, picking up a pilot based on the “Vampire Diaries” series of books.

As you probably know by now, I’m a huge fan of this series. So I’m a bit nervous, obviously, because adaptations sometimes *cough* suck. But since I can also totally picture it as a TV show, I’ll be tuning in.
