Stephenie Meyer’s wildly popular Twilight series, about a young girl named Bella who falls in love with a teen vampire named Edward, continues to remain popular even though her fourth and final installment, Breaking Dawn, failed to impress die-hard fans.
In fact, reports were circulated that Meyer had to indefinitely postpone the publication of her companion to the series entitled Midnight Sun, a retelling of the saga written from Edward’s perspective . This was blamed on leaks of the rough draft onto the Internet. This has caused much disappointment amongst her fans.
But, at least fans can satisfy themselves for now with the first Twilight movie, which is slated to be released on Nov. 21, 2008. Additionally, teen vampire/romance novels are popping up all over and the ones that already existed are in demand.
For those who are unfamiliar with the series, but whose curiosity has been piqued by all the buzz, here is a list of the Twilight titles in order. All of these are available in Teen Fiction.
All of these titles are also available in downloadable audiobook format on Overdrive!
