The Fury

 

Oh man. What a disappointing turn this book took 😒 such a promising start, too!

Elena dies at the end of the second book, but because she's had Damon and Stefan's blood she comes back as a vampire. When she wakes up, she finds the brothers fighting and goes to stop them. She doesn't want Stefan to hurt Damon, since she feels he's the one she belongs with. 

Now, had the author taken it from there and had Damon and Elena get together, it would have been so much more fun. Instead, Elena "comes to her senses" once she feeds and realizes she's in love with Stefan. 

Sigh.

Something big and bad and evil is causing all sorts of trouble in Fell's Church. Since everyone thinks Elena is dead, she has to hide out. Her good friends (Bonnie, Meredith, Caroline, and Matt) know her secret, and along with the Salvatore brothers, go to work trying to figure out what it is and how to stop it. 

It's Katherine, the vampire who changed the brothers over back in the 1400s. They thought she died in 1864, but she tricked them. She wants Stefan back (seriously, why does everyone want Stefan?!). She ties Elena, Stefan, and Damon up in a crypt and tortures the boys (mostly Damon) until Elena figures out a way to kill her. And she does, but she dies in the process too. 

Have to admit, I was not expecting her to *really* be dead. There's a fourth book, how in the heck is the series going on without the main character?! What an odd decision. Well, I'm only halfway through season two of the show and it's really good, so at least I still have that to look forward to.
