New York Times bestselling series

The Return: Shadow Souls is the sixth book in L.J. Smith’s New York Times bestselling Vampire Diaries series.

Elena Gilbert is once again at the center of magic and danger beyond her imagining. And this time, Stefan isn’t there to help. Stefan is held prisoner in the Dark Dimension—a world where vampires and demons roam free, and where humans are at the command of their supernatural betters. To save the man she loves, Elena is forced to trust her life to his handsome, but deadly brother Damon. Damon has never concealed his love for Elena, and as the tension between them rises, Elena must face a terrible decision: which brother does she really want to be with?

The Return: Shadow Souls is perfect for fans of the hit CW TV show The Vampire Diaries, as well as fans of the original New York Times bestselling series who can’t wait to see what happens next with Elena, Stefan, and Damon.

During these uncertain times, it's great to escape with a long book. This book is perfect for that. It's more out there than other titles thus far in the series but both the writing and the performance bring it to life.

Cool story, but too long. The narration was irritating at times, but the story was still entertaining.

I love this series! I'm a fan of the whole series & the show. The only thing that irritaed me in this series is some of the characters get on my nerves & make me mad :) The irritating characters in this series aren't as bad in the actual show. I recommend reading this series at least once. I've read it a couple of times.

Real Good
