RE-VAMPED

After being hooked on the Twilight saga and True Blood, I have been "bitten" yet again, by vampire lore. This time, the fangs of the cutie patootie bloodsuckers of Vampire Diaries have sunk deep into me, and how!From the makers of Dawson Creek comes this slick variation of everything Twilight, which contains these tried and tested elements: a gorgeous female lead with issues, a hot and brooding vamp partner and a rival vamp-- his sibling in fact, in the person of Lost's Ian Somerhalder. The story centers around Elena Gilbert, a high school girl torn between two vampire brothers (who obviously do not need life insurance leads, well, because the vamps, technically, have no life, hehehe!). The series is based on young adult horror novels written by the NYT Bestselling author of the Night World series, L. J. Smith.

A story told with a lot of snappy dialogue and quirky pop cult references, this is definitely a good old-fashioned Gothic love story. The downside is, the series takes a break till January 10th. Grrrr!!!
