"When it comes to my Vampire Diaries fandom, I have found fanaticism in a bottle in the form of the book series Love You to Death: The Unofficial Guide to The Vampire Diaries . . . If you're a fan of The Vampire Diaries and haven't had time to indulge in deep fanaticism but have had moments of wanting to, this is a book for you." — The Dinglehopper

"The detail that went into each episode guide is very impressive . . . I also think it is awesome to read the foreword by Kevin Williamson, one of the creators of the show. It just shows that this book means business!" — Quality Fangirls

“Why try to remember every little thing when Calhoun and Vee have compiled all that info into a nice guide? Whether you're a die-hard fan of the series, or someone interested in checking it out, this guide is a must-have!” — I Was Angelized

"Overall, this is a thoroughly excellent book clearly written by huge Vampire Diaries fans, and it's a great book to have. It's great for just sitting down and reading and getting all of the memories back via recaps of what's going on — and even better if you watch an episode first then read the book as we suggested — so many little things you might not have picked up on." — Order of Books
