Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer

Twilgiht
Bella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Bella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella, the person Edward holds most dear.


New Moon
The "star-crossed" lovers theme continues as Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including a 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.




Eclipse
As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella Swan once again finds herself surrounded by danger.





Breaking Dawn
In the conclusion of the "Twilight Series," Bella achieves her wishes: marriage, sex, and becoming a vampire. But Meyer definitely adds a twist that no one expected (sorry you have to read to find out). And it wouldn't be a great book without a little adventure and someone trying to, yet again, kill Bella. While I enjoyed this book, I found the first three far more intriguing. But regardless, I do love reading about Bella and Edward and so will you. (FIC MEYER)
