( The Vampire Diaries #1)
4/10
Let's start with the tagline of the blurb:
A Love Triangle of Unspeakable Horror...
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
NO.

Unspeakable horror is Salem's Lot that you read one night and spend 2 months being afraid of inviting people into your house.
Unspeakable horror is watching a thriller on TV and have your husband who has fallen asleep jerk up and start talking nonsense like he's possessed, (Yes it happened to me. Yes I shat myself).
Unspeakable horror is reading
this thread on Reddit and trying to sleep without a night light.
This book however, in general and its love triangle in particular are not even "I saw a fuckin spider on the bath tap and now I can't wash the shampoo off my hair"-horror. Actually it's not horror at all. It's your standard YA vampire fiction only you can't call it cliché because it's so fuckin old that it's probably one of the first books on the subject.
So with this out of the way, let's proceed to the actual review!
