Vampire Diaries Season 4: Spoiler Alert

Should I say finally?  Well, like Bella's character in Twilight, Elena's transformation into one of the undead was highly anticipated.  The season 3 finale we saw that after being fed vampire blood, Elena's car plunges into the river, apparently dies, and then wakes up.  We all know that if you die with vampire blood in your system---you wake up and become one!  So, did Elena finally become a vampire?  Wait!  Bonnie have been instrumental in reversing supernatural events, she can still do something for Elena, right?  Well, she tried, but I guess it's time that Elena finally became one and fight her own battles.

As was presumed in the last season, Klaus escaped death when he forced Bonnie to switch his body with Tyler's.  Will Klaus remain to be the main antagonist for this new season?  It's hard to tell on the first episode.  There is a looming specter of peril for the vampires in the person of Pastor Young who took control of the Council after both Mayor Lockwood and  Sheriff Forbes were exposed to having supernatural son (Tyler who is a vampire-werewolf hybrid) and daughter (Caroline who is a vampire).

Twilight Book Two: New Moon

I guess I'm officially hooked on the Twilight series! I say this in the light of the fact that I was able to finish reading "New Moon" faster that I normally do ( I even bested Chesca in finishing the book first)! Reading time was no longer relegated during my trips to the potty room but also during every opportunity open to me! During the last two chapters, I was reading lying down with a flash light in hand!

I really enjoyed "New Moon"! The addition of werewolves really stirred it up for me! It was like the "Underworld" movies---vampires vs. werewolves---but instead of a head on collision between these two mythical creatures, it was sort of a love triangle!

Jacob was the main male protagonist of this book. Edward was somewhat a cross-over character appearing only in the beginning (as a continuation of "Twilight") and in the last few chapters (as the nexus of "Eclipse"). No wonder my friend Rix did not enjoy reading "New Moon"! I guess it has something to do with the forgettable character of Jacob Black in the movie version played by Taylor Lautner.
