I just finished reading The Struggle. It is the second book in The Vampire Diaries series. It is written by L.J. Smith. It takes place in a small town called Mystic Falls.

The Struggle is about Elena and Stephan trying to keep Damon from harming them and their loved ones. They are also struggling to prove Stephan's innocence to the town. A majority of the town thinks that he is responsible for attacks that happened in the town since he arrived. Elena's diary also gets stolen. She and her friends set out to find who stole it before they try to use it against her and Stephan.

The storyline is really awesome once you get past all the teeny bopper stuff. Considering the target audience for this series is teens though, I am not using that as an insult. I think this is a very suspenseful book and series that keeps you wanting to turn the pages. I really enjoy watching the characters in this series as their personalities alter. Some for the best and some for the worst. I am fully intending to read the rest of this series. I even look forward to it!
