Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Stephenie Meyer has published three books of the Twilight series with stories relating to vampires and werewolfs living among the ordinary people in the books. The Twilight series is capable of taking your breath away, leaving you addicted and eagerly waiting for more. While the first book, Twilight, is in the process of being adapted into a Movie, readers are also anxiously awaiting for the fourth book to be published out this August.
The Title of the first three books of the Twilight series are Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. These books are categorized under the genre of fantasy, romance and horror.
Despite the age group which many suggest is for junior high/high school girls, Twilight was actually an interesting read. Now, there is a fair amount of romance thrown around and declarations of love or thoughts of it get thrown around quite a bit but it's not really nauseous or sickeningly-sweet so that was quite the plus. Meyer's writing is also a good plus as its quite serviceable and neither flashy and scholarly in tone, nor is it simplistic and almost elementary level.
Isabella Swan (though she prefers just Bella) is leaving Phoenix and is off to the town of Forks, Washington to live with her dad, Charlie. Like most new kids, there's a level of immediate interest in her which she's quite annoyed at, especially by all the guys vying for dates. But she has her eye on mysterious Edward Cullen who she barely gets along with her but they both feel strong attraction to each other though in Edward's case there's a reason he wants to stay away: he's a vampire and Bella's "scent" makes it difficult to keep him from killing her. But romance grows though Edward and his family aren't the only vampires around and not all can show restraint.My one complaint is in its pacing as most first novels tend to be a bit more slower-paced to establish characters and setting but the book is never boring or time-killing on Meyer's part but there's never really a sharp case of tension and when the "villains" are introduced, they're so near the end of the story that they don't really establish a real sense of dread or menace, they just sort of arrive (after probably the quirkiest use of vampires since the "Once More With Feeling" episode from Buffy).
