Meredith and Matt decided not to go to out of state colleges and choose to go to Dalcrest to stay close to home, and also because after everything they all went through together they didnt want to be apart from one another. Oh and Meredith would rather stay close to Alaric who is staying in Fells Church to keep an eye on things

Stefan compelled the admissions to get Matt and Meredith into college. Matt felt guilty, so he didn't want Stefan to get him a good dorm.

Meredith/Elena/Bonnie are rooming together.
Stefan is in the same dorm, but in a single.
Damon is in an off campus apartment.

Matt is rooming with a guy named Christopher who is also a football player in a small dorm.
Not long after he got there, he recieved an invitation to what looks like to be a exclusive society.

She is still in Vampire Hunter mode. She is always on alert and starting to think she needs to keep in constant training.
She came to college alone, as her parents know to give her the independance espec with starting college.

She is determined to be a new person at college. Someone who would be a leader like Elena and Meredith. Mature.
She also meets a new guy. Xander.

The girls hear an ambulance outside their dorm, and the police tell them some guy has gotten in trouble.
They suspect it's something more. Whether it's a person or a something.

living in an off campus apartment?

Not much. We haven't seen him or Stefan apart from dropping Elena at her dorm.

I felt so sad for her. She makes a friend.. who turns out to be a hunter from a hunter family.. and she dies. Someone she could connect with moreso than Bonnie and Elena.
But she also became stronger and fought back against everything that was going on. And even toward the end.. Damon acknowledged that she has become stronger and better in her skills. Matt even makes an observation that it could be the beginning of a friendship.

His storyline was front and center, as what was going on with him was the main plot of the book. He was deep into it. If it wasn't for him.. the gang wouldn't have discovered what was going on and who the villian was.

At first I thought there was something off about Zander, her next boyfriend.. but it turns out he isn't bad after all. He is a werewolf, but he is one of the good ones. His bloodline goes from the original werewolves.

Early in the book, Elena made the choice to take a break from the both of the boys so that she can find some way to deal with the three of them, and also so that the brothers can deal with their new found relationship as brothers again. And so she can work out who she is as a person. Stefan said he would wait as long as it is necessary.
I applauded this choice, because I felt it was the mature thing to do and it separated her from Katherine.
But then Damon didn't stick to the deal.. he continued to see Elena, and then once Stefan found out.. and caught them kissing.. he told Elena he wanted nothing to do with her. He might love her, but would not be with her since he didn't trust her.
From that point forward, Elena thought since Stefan refused to talk to her, she would give Damon a chance. And so Damon and Elena went on to experiment to see what is between them, but in the end.. it just made Elena even more sure, especially after Stefan was in trouble..that while she might have an attraction/love for Damon, it's Stefan who she can't live without and whom she is in love with to a degree that Damon can't compete with.

Klaus is being resurrected by a newly vampire named Ethan, who was turned by one of Klaus's descendants.

Elena's parents agreed to a deal that their child would become the new guardian for this secret society at Dalcrest. The guardians, the ones that Elena dealt with told them that at age 12, they were to give up Elena to them. But since they refused... the guardians.. well, they always get their way, one way or another.
It's something that you need to read to fully understand.

Do we know what Klaus is up too? Is he planning to go against the group?

And you said that Matt was front and center of the book and he was on the cover and it looks like Bonnie is on the cover of the third one, do you think that she will be in the focus of this book?
Are there any indications about her possible involvement? What about her powers are they explored in the books?

Do you think they explore that witch hunter sl LJ Smith mentioned in one of her emails

We don't know yet, since at the end.. the guy was using the blood of Klaus's decendants, meaning any vampire to bring him back. I guess we'll see in the next book in Oct.

Yeah. That would make sense for Bonnie to be focus of the next book, even though she did have a pretty big part in this book as well

I think the witch hunter story might come into the new The Secret Circle book, and not TVD

Since Klaus returned in the books do you think the same thing can happen in the show ?Like killing him and then bring him back at some point?

Where d/b stands now in your opinion after everything
