The Vampire Diaries (The Vampire Diaries, #1)

by L.J. Smith

Elena is the school beauty, but she's bored. Until a new boy turns up in her class. Stefan is dark and mysterious - and she's determined to get to know him better. But Elena reminds Stefan of someone from his tragic past, and he's just as determined to resist her. Until a series of attacks in the area terrify the school and town and Stefan, the outsider, is held responsible. Elena is the only one who offers to help and, falling in love with her, Stefan tells her his terrible story. He is a vampire, on the run from his evil brother, Damon, who is also a vampire, but doesn't share Stefan's qualms about drinking human blood. And Damon is the one Stefan suspects of really being behind the recent attacks...Can Elena help prove his innocence - without revealing his secret?

The first book I've ever read where the television series is SERIOUSLY better than the book itself. I could barely make it to the end of this book, with the incredibly cheesy character names and plot lines. Really just a poor attempt at twilight and teen vampire fic.
