Please do not cancel!

At first this was a lovely summer diversion. Then I hated it. But about episode 5 I was hooked. (I cannot watch True Blood, too much graphic sex. I only made it to episode 3 or 4 and the DVD set is still in the shrink wrap and needs sold.) I do enjoy Vampire Diaries, and the Twilight series. However this show is Desperate Housewives with Vampires, Werewolves, a succubus, and a few mysteries. I love watching the episodes repeatedly for the details.

I like the teen angle, with their high school problems, added to their 'unique' status, this makes for an interesting twist. Then the evil twists, the sides, werewolves versus Vampires, and how they come together to protect their neighborhood, even when they are mortal enemies. I only hope the season finale is not the series finale, most TV lately is canceled before its time. I also do not look forward to jumping the shark, but I know they are all competing for our viewing so hard, I know its inevitable.

Either way, I am excitedly looking forward to the next show. "A place where no matter who you are, what you are, you can make a home."
