Though it has been over seven years since IÂ first read the vampire diary series, the fury stands out as the most heart breaking and poignant of the books. The author did a masterful job of keeping the reader in suspense of the final outcome in the struggle between good and evil. The author also does a wonderful job with the characters and the situations she has created, endearing the most unlikable character to the reader and creating such an atmosphere that the reader at one moment may cry then laugh at another
