Well, start with the first at least. They do continue on, but can have breaks between each book. But it is a series, so would recommend reading in
chronological order.

Richelle Mead and L.J. Smith are two of my favorite authors. The only series I read by Richelle Mead was Vampire Academy, but I loved it. I can’t
wait for the spin-off series, Bloodlines, to come out in August. I have read everything by L.J. Smith, except for The Forbidden Game that I’m reading
now. I’m on the last book. It is so hard to pick a favorite. Right now, I think my favorite is the Night World. I also really like the Vampire
Diaries. I’m disappointed that it is going to be ruined.
Did you guys hear what happened to L.J. Smith? Unfortunately, The Return: Midnight is the last Vampire Diaries book she will be allowed to write. She
did not choose to stop writing Vampire Diaries. It was taken from her and given to a ghostwriter. She has fought long and hard to prevent/reverse this
decision, but Alloy (the book packaging company) will not budge. This was allowed to happen because of a “work for hire” clause in the original
contract she signed in the ‘90s when she really didn’t understand what it meant. Midnight was written fully by L.J. Smith, and when she wrote it she
thought she would be continuing the series. The next book, Phantom, was written by L.J. Smith, but the publishers told the ghostwriter to rewrite it.
However, it will still say “Created by” L.J. Smith. I won’t be buying it because a) I don’t think it will be any good and b) I think it was very
underhanded move by Alloy to do what they did. Of course, everyone is free to decide for themselves what they will read. I just wanted to make sure
everyone knew the facts.
