What's better than a main plot with some side plots mixed in? Laura and Meggie have no idea! This book has no shortage of major plot elements that are all independent of each other, which has your hosts literally begging the question "why?" Kicking things off: Fells Church is still in chaos-mode, Damon needs to be a vampire again, Bonnie ends up accidentally in the Dark Dimension again, Matt is still being hunted by the cops, Caroline's werewolf destiny is looming, Alaric is brought back briefly, and that doesn't even begin to cover everything that happens in the first half! You don't want to miss it.
