Been hooked since Season 2
If there is anything that I would say I've ever been obsessed with this would be it. Everything from the character development to action and romance is right there. I especially love this show because unlike many other supernatural stories you get an in depth look into the history of how it became. And there are so many different creatures and supernatural beings to see. The Salvatores aren't too harsh on the eyes either ;). The only thing that would have made it better is if the last season had been stretched out to the average number of episodes to maximise the storyline a bit more. Even given the circumstances they shouldn't have rushed it. #TeamDamonForever

Would make a great film
Supernatural abilities and horrific events are nothing new for Stephen King, but this is the first time we've seen his take on The Maze Runner/X-Men and most other recent YA novels or films. And it's really rather good.

I wouldn't say it's up there with his knockout classics or epic stories, but this is a hugely entertaining read with some endearing and well developed characters. Even the kids in this are a lot more likeable than most other whinging teens that feature as protagonists in other novels, and it's just proof that King really does know how to do characters. The story itself is interesting and a neat new take on the supernatural/superhero powers that we're so used to seeing nowadays. My biggest issue is the ending. It's not terrible or even bad at all, it just comes across as very anticlimactic after the huge build up and is rather a bit of a letdown. It just seems a little too clean and wrapped up all too quickly.

Still I struggled to put this down, especially the further I got into it, and if you like stories about supernatural abilities then this is definitely one to read.

This sweet story has it all; good versus evil, supernatural twists and the right amount of romance. The author's characters jump right out of the pages and sweep you right off your feet and the story line is well paced.
