     This book is the second book of The Vampire Diaries Series, following The Awakening and The Struggle If you haven't read my post about The Awakening and The Struggle be sure to check it out before reading this post.
     In this book a new thing has come to Mystic Falls and is leaving behind a destroyed town. As Bonnie and Merdith search for clues about the new darkness and ways they can stop it, Elena, Damon, and Matt (Elena's X-Boyfriend) search for Stefan. After being taken at the end of the last book they've been on a chase to find him before his time runs out. Damon, who know one is quite sure of his motives, leads them to The Dark Demension where he believes they are keeping Stefan. One Problem: The Dark Deminsion is just like it's name states...Dark. Supernatural cretures roam free and the only humans alive are kept as slaves to their supernatural owners. Elena is faced with the choice of going into The Dark Deminsion to save Stefan, risking her own life, or staying away from it all together.
    As Meredeth and Bonnie try to hunt down Damon and Elena to tell them that they have discovered somthing about the Dark Magic in Myatic Falls, tension grows between Elena and Damon and Elena begins to ask herself who does she really love; Stefan or Damon.
    Now, the struggle begins to find the two parts of the key that connect to make the one key that will let Stefan out of his cell in The Dark Deminsion.
     Bonnie and Meredith, Now wiht Elena and Damon begin to "act" like they live in The Dark Dimension; attending all the parties of people they believe to have the key. Searching everywhere until they finally find the 2 halves of the key. Together they find the prison and they find Stefan. No one though was prepared for what they were going to see. Stefan is no longer himself (for the time being). Stefan is rushed back out of The Dark Dimension back to Mystic Falls where the Dark Magic is yet to go away.
     Now as the group tries to identify who or what is causing this everything points to on name...SYLLIS...who will soon become their worst nightmare.
