The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer, which includes the books "//Twilight//","//New Moon//","//Eclipse//" and "//Breaking Dawn//" are amazing. This is Bella Swan's story, (the main character) who tells her story in her own point of view.- Making the choice of leaving your mom in Phoenix, Arizona and moving in with dad in Forks, Washington may be the greatest choice for Bella Swan. Bella the new girl in school and town, falls in love with a cool, strange, attractive, cold skin boy- Edward Cullen. As the days pass, Bella saw and felt that her new love (Edward) was strange in some ways, until days later she found out that her love was a vampire. A vampire that sparkled during sunlight and found himself as a monster since his kind are human killers, even tough his family only drank animal blood and therefore considered themselves vegetarians. "Bloodsuckers" as Bella's favorite werewolf friend (Jacob) would call them. Edward has a gift, a gift of reading minds, except Bella's which leads him towards Bella even more. Without expecting it he found Bella's smell charming and tasty at the same time, and led him wanting more than just being Bella's seat partner. Both found ways to attract and fall endlessly in love with each other. This story comes in four books that make you want to read every page in a second, wanting to know what happens next in the life of a weak human and a strong vampire. These books are filled mostly with love, action, sadness and thirsty vampires and huge werewolf's.

Personally reading is not a hobby of mine, but watching Summits- TWILIGHT- movie, dragged me into reading the Twilight Saga, and fell in love with the books. I like how Bella takes you into her life, were you see how she makes her decisions entirely for love, and describes the most perfect man that mostly every girl dreams about, but ends up being a vampire. The greatest thing about Twilight Saga is that there's -Team Edward- and -Team Jacob- just another way to say if you support the vampire over the werewolf, or the werewolf over the vampire.

Stephenie Meyer throws in new vocabulary that my brain hasn't seen, but then you see how the word ends up describing itself. Also every time Bella, Edward or any character in the books end up doing something, Stephenie's words make you picture the scene, which I love the most. I specially recommend you reading all the books like any other series, since you may end up being confused since all the books have big parts that get re mentioned in the following books. The Twilight Saga has gained success world wide, making the readers crazy (in a good fan reader way).Leads to -Team Edward-


 * THE SAGA:**

//**TWILIGHT**//(Ѽ): First book is where Bella Swan moves to forks and falls in love with her vampire love Edward Cullen. With about 500 pages Stephenie brings you to this unknown world where Vampire covens and werewolves exist. The book is filled with funny scenes, Edwards ancient grammar and phrases that get stuck in your brain like: Bella-"I know what you are" Edward- "Say out loud", Bella-"A Vampire", Edward-"Are you afraid", Bella-"NO." or also "What if I'm not the hero, what if I'm the bad guy?" I think that this book was a great start for Stephenie Meyer as an author.

//**NEW MOON**//(ϡ): Its starts where //Twilight// left off, danger following Bella, and Edward thinking that the only way Bella could be safe is that if they were apart. Then Bella suffers depression(downheartedness) and starts falling in love with her werewolf cry shoulder Jacob Black, but she doesn't realize it and thinks that its just a huge friendship. "New Moon" with 563 pages that are filled with "surprising twist and turns" as Stephenie Meyer said. This book is surely a good left off, of twilight. For some readers it makes sure you go from -Team Edward- to -Team Jacob- since you fall in love with his presence in the book.

//**ECLIPSE**//(ζ): Eclipse has even more action with 640 pages, and it has the vampire and the werewolf fighting for the love of the human Bella. This book is about how Bella has to choose between the "bloodsucker" or the "dog". This book may be really funny, specially when Edward and Jacob start fighting or start mean random conversations. Or how Jacob likes to mess with Edward and Bella. I just love the part when Edward tells Bella that she looks "sexy", since he speaks like an ancient person, it was really funny. You see how Stephenie Meyer wants Edward to be more in Bella's world now. For this book it has you between -Team Edward- and -Team Jacob-.

//**BREAKING DAWN**//(۩): This may be the best book out of the whole series with 768 pages. This book is where Bella and Edward get married and short days after the honeymoon Bella realizes she is pregnant. Now Edward has to decide wether he wants Bella to become a vampire(newborn). I like how later in the book Edward starts calling his baby "the thing" because he thinks its going to kill her, but a soon as they realize Bella is out of danger it becomes "our baby".Breaking dawn is sort of divided into three short books. First is Bella's point of view then in book 2 it's Jacob's point of view of Bella's life and his. Then Bella takes off again and tells her happy -Forever-ending with her and Edward. I have to be honest, I really didn't like that Jacob took over part of the book, it should have been Bella telling us all her story, but the again she was in pain with her baby and she was unconscious, so I understand why Stephenie made this change. Another thing I disliked was that they changed Bella's baby Renesme to Nessie, since that was Jacob's nickname when he got imprinted with Renesme. All in all, this was a great book!The Best out of all, it's kind of confusing at the end since you get to meet more vampires, it's hard to memorize who is who or where do they come from, but Stephanie Meyer was smart enough to write a Vampire Index. Last but not least, I will never forget when Edward called Jacob "my son"(from the biggest enemies,to have the love of a father towards his son), it made me want to cry :( This book also has you between -Team Edward- and -Team Jacob-, but like in all the books I stayed true to -TEAM EDWARD-!
