Better than the Hunters Series, and great that she was able to find a way to get her own story out. I will say I liked the next fic better than this one. I couldn't place why...well. Ok one, Damon uses the 'Lovely Love' term Stefan did in Hunters. Dumb really for me to point it out. Then Stefan seemed more like he was like Damon would have. Damon seemed more like show Damon somehow. There seemed to feel like there as a gap in Elena's emotional state between the last book and this one. That is easily explained, the next book explains how they got Damon. It was slow as many stated, but that was a retelling. Not hard to read at all. As far as the change, which I will not spoil, it was neat to see Stefan do that so Damon couldn't use the situation to his benefit. Also, on the other hand, you realize he will never seem to get what he wants. Bonnie seems really into Damon. Like the ghostwriter, you see many similarities between that and her book. The term phantom was used.I have to say that I am intrigued with the twist with Stefan, but I also noticed that many items seem similar to the show.  I didn't much like the DE scenes, which I hate to say. it was almost funny. They don't seem like their old selves from the old series. I felt like I was watching the tv. It seemed awkward to me. Then the decision Stefan makes didn't make much sense to me, but I got where he was coming from. I also found it comical how he covered his bases with Elena. Also, Damon and Elena seemed so off, like no passion at all-to me. Again, the way she 'sees' Damon is different. If you were hoping there was something else, SE were pretty strong here. I'd say read the second part (which is more of the first part to me).The next fic cleared that up though so if you feel 'strange' reading it like...didn't Elena just blow up a moon and then you come to this place where it is heavy SE...it is explained some. I hate to say it, it just felt off. I am so sorry, it is just my opinion. There is more to come, but until they do, it may not make sense to me yet. As it were, this one was ok. The next one is better, I promise.I have also read the ghostwritten ones, which are taking a cool turn, however, this is even better.
