Kenzie Gilbert is dead. Gone is the mute, depressed teenage girl she was before she met Stefan Salvatore. Left behind was the young woman she became, who is crazy in love and co-dependent on her green-eyed boyfriend. What stood between them was his vampirism and her mortality. But for no longer. The last thing Kenzie remembered was her deja-vu accident, the car she was in with Matt, crashed on the same bridge her parents went over before plummeting into the quarry and drowning. Just like that time, Kenzie survives. When she shouldn't. Stefan didn't jump in and save her this time. Instead, the vampire blood running to her veins did. Now she's a vampire herself and everyone, including herself is struggling to come to terms with it. Stefan is working on a secret plan that has Kenzie feeling rejected and neglected. Her siblings can't bear to be near her and her friends are just as uncomfortable with the way she's changed. While Damon seems to be the only one there for her. His eyes seem to sparkle and his smirk starts ooze sexiness. Everything is changing. Cures are revealed, sire bonds make another appearance, the originals settle in town, and another curse rears its ugly head. Kenzie and Elena have finally spread their wings, and started separate paths. Elena's path to become a teenage statistic is opposite of Kenzie's path to embrace life as the vampire twin. ~BOOK 4 OF 8~

Kenzie Gilbert is engaged to Stefan Salvatore after many ups and downs. The two spent the summer making-up from their last break-up. Now it's back to reality. They're engaged with no rings, no save the date, and no wedding in sight. However, there's no time to dwell on why they haven't committed to their engagement. School is back in session and Whitmore College takes the gang by storm with ancient witches, imprisoned vampires for research, and psychotic immortals coming out of the shadows. The true testament of Kenzie and Stefan's relationship comes in the form of kidnapping. Kenzie and Stefan may be fighting like dogs, but they would die, and more importantly, kill for each other. Stefan gets rescued, but the problems they face continue to pile up. Stefan loses his memory, Damon has a past friend that threatens to send him back to his bad behavior, Matt and Elena embrace parenthood, Katherine faces mortality and demise, Mystic Falls becomes a supernatural-free town, and everyone's lives are at risk once again. Though Kenzie is still adjusting to her life as a vampire, she'll use all of new powers to her advantage for good and bad to try to keep the people she loves, safe. Even if that means being known as the coercive twin. ~BOOK 5 OF 8~
