I don’t mention it much but I’m a bit of a vampire addict, I’ve always loved vampire tales from Dracula through to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I loved the Twilight books and films but I confess that The Vampire Diaries has passed me by for some reason. Maybe because I’ve been busy having children and not had time to watch any series over the last couple of years The lovely people from Warner Bros have very kindly sent me the box set of The Vampire Diaries – The Complete First Season so now I have no excuse not to catch up on what I’ve been missing

“It’s Elena’s first day back at Mystic Falls High School since the tragic death of her parents. Along with her Aunt Jenna, Elena tries her best to look after her troubled younger brother, Jeremy, and salvage what family they have left. The first day is already shaping up to be a struggle for Elena until she meets the mysterious new kid at school, Stefan. Elena is touched that he can relate to what she’s going through. What Elena doesn’t know is that Stefan is a vampire, constantly resisting the urge to taste her blood. As their undeniable connection grows deeper, Stefan’s dangerous older brother, Damon, shows up to wreak havoc on the town of Mystic Falls – and claim Elena for himself.”

The box set consists of 5 discs and 22 episodes, unsurprisingly I haven’t been able to watch all of them for this review, in fact I’m only four episodes into the series but already I can feel myself getting a little addicted OK so make that hooked, there is something rather addictive about the series  and a little bit of eye candy in the form of Ian Somerhalder who plays Damon (why are the bad guys always so much more attractive?) certainly keeps you going back for more I’m hoping by the time I finish the first season, Warner Bros are going to continue my new addiction by sending me seasons and two and three lol.

The box set also includes special features such as:
The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening – Audio Book
The Vampire Diaries: Vampires 101
The Vampire Diaries: A Darker Truth – Webisodes

You can buy the boxset of The Vampire Diaries – The Complete Season One in most places, I’ve included a link to it on Amazon below
