devastating separation, the mysterious appearance
of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks,
a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire
and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy's
reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi.
Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists
and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its
way to literary immortality.
Book 3 - Eclipse (2007)
Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moo
n will eagerly devour Eclipse, the much anticipated
third book in Stephenie Meyer's riveting vampire
love saga. As Seattle is ravaged by a string of
mysterious killings and a malicious vampire
continues her quest for revenge, Bella once
the midst of it all, she is forced to choose
between her love for Edward and her friendship
with Jacob --- knowing that her decision has the
potential to ignite the ageless struggle between
vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly
approaching, Bella has one more decision to make:
life or death. But which is which?
Book 4 - Breaking Dawn (2008)
Breaking Dawn is the fourth and last novel in
the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. Divided
into three 'books', the story is told from the
perspective of Bella Swan, except for Book Two
which is from the perspective of Jacob Black,
Bella's werewolf friend. Breaking Dawn was
released on August 2, 2008 with a special
midnight release in many bookstores.
Book 5 - The Host
Stephenie Meyer, creator of the phenomenal
teen-vamp Twilight series, takes paranormal
romance into alien territory in her first adult
novel. Those wary of sci-fi or teen angst will
be pleasantly surprised by this mature and
imaginative thriller, propelled by equal parts
action and emotion. A species of altruistic
parasites has peacefully assumed control of
the minds and bodies of most humans, but
feisty Melanie Stryder won't surrender her mind
to the alien soul called Wanderer. Overwhelmed
by Melanie's memories of fellow resistor Jared,
Wanderer yields to her body's longing and sets
off into the desert to find him. Likely the first
love triangle involving just two bodies, it's
unabashedly romantic, and the characters
(human and alien) genuinely endearing.
Also Included the Partial Draft of Stephenie
Meyer's "Midnight Sun", which is Twilight from
Edward Cullen's point of view, revealing details
of his own life and existance that were to us
unknown, since all the other books are told from
Bella's perspective.
