The Vampire Diaries

The Vampire Diaries is an Amerian TV show about a 17 year old girl, Elena whos' life is suddenly flipped upside down when she loses both her parents in a tragic car crash off Wickery Bridge. As school starts again, she decides to go back to the way things were before the accident, she re-joins the cheerleading squad and tries to be her old, happy self......until the new guy in school shows up. Everything changes.

As time passes, Elena finds out more about Stefan and the demon he hides inside, everything from the demons lurking within him to the centuries old ex-girlfriend trapped beneath the towns old church...the ex-girlfriend that is her reflection from the past. Damon plans to release Elenas doupleganger, Katherine, from the church tomb but Stefan is desperate to stop him before he releases her along with twenty-seven other vampires from their childhood town.

Eventually, Damon opens the tomb with the help of Elena's witch best friend, Bonnie, but to his dismay all of the vampires are in the tomb with the exception of one.... Katherine.


This is a brief summary of the first season of The Vampire Diaries, as the series goes on the story develops into a twist of witches, werewolves, vampires, douplegangers, ghosts and hybrids, love triangles evolve as well as many other sharp turns to the story. It is a gripping series where you can relate to all of the characters in every situation, the characters are portrayed in such a way that you can almost empathise with their every emotion. A definite 5 star rating from me.
