I don’t understand how there can be so many one star reviews of this book. In looking over these highly critical reviews, I’ve noticed that most of them are written by fans who say that they have loved and followed this author’s work for over a decade. Their main criticism seems to be that the descriptions of some or all of the characters in this book are different from their own views of the characters. My guess is that most of these reviews are from a small group of highly invested fans who have spent years developing their own fan stories. The fact that the author is suddenly writing about these characters again is probably very threatening to them. So threatening that they are clearly trying to destroy the overall rating for this book. Unfortunately, browsers seeing the rating may conclude that Smith is not a great writer. That’s not true. It’s because her original books were so good that they’ve inspired this highly emotional response. I realize that these same fans may now be tempted to post new reviews and comments (ostensibly from new or less invested readers) to try to prove me wrong. I can only hope that they will try instead to be objective and will try to take some time to understand why their response to this book is so unfair to the author.

This is the best of L. J.’s books yet!! She’s not afraid to take chances and has produced a page-turner that also shows the real heart and soul of the characters. By far the darkest, deepest, and most gripping of her books. Oh, yeah, and Damon is hot.

A totally awesome book by an author who’s been hiding her light under a bushel. I used to think TVD were good, but now I know that they’re great. Sure Nightfall’s scarier than previous books but Elena comes through as an angel so I don’t understand the whole darker debate. The forces of good and evil are shown here pitted against each other. Why would you want to pit good against sort-of-medium-badish-dark in the first place? To write a totally awesome book about good and evil you have to have real evil. That’s what Smith’s done and imo has spectacularly succeed at.

I’m a long-time fan of Smith’s writing and have been eagerly awaiting the release of this new book. My patience was rewarded. I absolutely adored this book. It picked up where the last one left off. I couldn’t put it down and ended up staying up all night to finish it. This book really focuses on Elena and Damon. But instead of just rehashing their characters, it explores and develops them in a new and wonderful way. I’m so glad to see this series continued. This book was a wonderful addition.

I loved the 1st 4 when I was a teen & as an adult now I had to buy this to see what happens but I agree w/ everyone the characters just didn’t seem the same as in previous books it seems she focused more on events this time then the character build up & the whole tree thing I just thought it dragged.Like Elena I was a little in love w/ Stefan & Damon{who isn’t}but sadly they more seemed to be in this book a shadow of former selves compared to how they were in 1st 4 books although some things Damon says is a little comical & certainly different lol but it’s just not DAMON even before his possession although I didn’t enjoy this book like the 1st 4 for various reasons I hope the next books brings better villains because even they were lacking but the good thing about them I can say is they brought out the TRUE DAMON when he tortured them for what they were doing to Elena THAT I bought but when did he fear Meredith that was out of nowhere????I admit I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the other 4 or thought I would I STILL WILL DEF BUY THE NEXT in the series because the good thing on how it was left was that there has to be another book hopefully the next will be like the 1st 4 & not this last one
