For the past few years, vampires has been a fad. It all started with the US Series "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" in 1997. Soon other vampire-inspired shows, movies, and books surfaced. Soon after Buffy, they started giving vampires more attention through the series spin-off "Angel". Even the anime world was dominated by these blood sucking creatures through the series called "Vampire Knights". Current vampire favorites are the Cullen's in the hit Saga "Twilight" and the vampires of HBO's "true Blood".
Hoping to join the vampire act is CW's new series "The Vampire Diaries". The series focuses on the young heroine, Elena, who captured the hearts of two vampire brothers. The story begins at the start of the school year, four months after the death of the parents of Elena and her brother Jeremy. Elena and her friends' attention are captured by the new guy, Stefan. Elena and Stefan are immediately drawn to each other. However, Elena was oblivious to the fact that Stefan is actually a centuries-old vampire. Stefan's brother Damon adds flavor to the story as the bad guy who does everything to make living peacefully with humans impossible with Stefan.
The Vampire Diaries shows a good mix of elements from Twilight and True Blood. It has the captivating romance from Twilight but also features the dark side of True Blood. The series is actually based on L.J. Smith's book series, The Vampire Diaries, but with a few changes in details.
The series is now at its third episode and it keeps getting better.
...Elena quickly realizes that the only thing more dangerous that being in love with a vampire is being desired by two...
