As I said on other websites, I held out with this series. I didn't understand the fuss and I felt like it was a Harry Potteresque event with crappy vampires. Oops. My bad. I'm finishing up the last book and I haven't read something I've enjoyed so much since Harry Potter. First of all, I just like afterlife creature stories.. stories (the exception being Stoker's Dracula). The Women of the Underworld books by Kelley Armstrong, The Historian, The Season of Passage. I like books based off the true life of Vlad Dracul and Countess Bathory. I guess I enjoy a bit of horror (except Ann Rice is too bloody for me). But this series is less horror and more love. A lot of love. The story of a love so strong that it goes past the human lifespan. Of course other things happen, danger enters and misunderstanding and some broken hearts, but it is the love between Edward and Bella, in a book designed for teenagers (aka-no graphic descriptions) that sucked me in. Each kiss they share makes me wish I had that. I now understand why all the teens got obsessed with the fictional Edward Cullen. To be honest, if he WAS real, I would be envious of Bella. Well, even with him fictional, I still am a bit jealous. Don't let the age group stop you. It is worth checking out.
