danger, and paranormal chills that they know only L. J. Smith can
provide. In Midnight, golden girl Elena Gilbert is back from

Stefan Salvatore. Saving Stefan had an unlikely consequence: His
brother, Damon, has become a mortal. While the trio reels from this

Book Reviews
I loved Midnight! I love all of L.J. Smith's books. She just has a way of sucking you in that you can't escape. The book is really hard to put down. The bad news is that it ends on a huge cliffhanger and L.J. Smith can't write any more of the books thanks to the publishers. This was posted on her website: “I fought tooth and nail to write those books--I fought until my agent wouldn't support me, when she said I would be sued and she wouldn't fight with me anymore, and I WROTE Phantom. But instead of edits what I got back was a letter to Clare the ghostwriter telling her to completely change my book. I HAD NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER. I was deceived by Alloy and got no support from Harper.” Guess we'll really never know the truth of how the author intended to end TVD stories.
