The shows are so utterly different than the books that I don't think you really need to read them. In five eps, except for the names I already wouldn't recognize a damn thing. I love the books like you love a little brother with a head injury, so I'm probably the wrong one to ask. I keep wanting to go in there and cut people who crit them. :D

Also, books WAY slashier than TV if you put any thought into the mythos. And her other books are better--it's actually my least favorite series.

Ugh, seconding the part about the other books being better. Forbidden Game and Night World were, like, the obsessive literature of my early teenage years. They were totally my first foray into fandom - I RPG'd in the Night World universe over email listing when I was, like, 12. Not even kidding. But I hated the Vampire Diaries books at age 12, and was shocked as hell they made them into a TV series. I'm loving it, though. Sweet, sweet vampirelicious crack.

I'm rereading Forbidden Game right now, *lol*. It cracks me up to see people flipping out SO BAD about how OMG TERRIBLE they are, though. As a YA and chick lit guilty pleasure reader from way back, I want to ask "Are you new?" As writing quality goes, LJ Smith is about the middle of that pack--and the things are twenty years old.
