The BEST series about vampires and werewolves that I couldn't put down for 4 books.

Who wouldn't love the awkward girl in high school falling in love with a vampire, with a werewolf best friend? It might be more focused toward the female reader because it's got a lot of icky feelings talk... puke I would recommend that everyone read the series and it's hard to even talk about it because I wouldn't want to ruin all of the fun and excitement for future readers.

It's hard to imagine that a human-vampire relationship would ever work, but Stephenie makes it so you don't even care it's such a good series. Read it!

It is pretty good. Sometimes a little too romantic but I guess that's the point of the books!

I've never had the slightest urge to read these books after discovering one of the author's goals was to make damn sure these characters didn't have premarital sex. whatever
Since Bram Stoker, vampires have represented sexuality/sensuality/decadence/evil, etc. The idea of a sparkly Promise Keeper vampire is just silly.

Y'know, it sounds to me like that would defeat the whole creature of the night thing.

I dunno, I thought it was kinda cute. It is a "pre-teen" series, so I can appreciate the author's wishes there. I mean, lots of people loved Harry Potter, and there wasn't any sex there. I think that you can have sexuality and sensuality without sex itself.

It seems like Harlequin romance for teenagers. Any book or movie that super-romanticizes love to that degree makes me wonder if the author has actually ever been in a relationship. Because it just isn't like that. tongue

I'll probably see the movie, though. I like some of the actors, and it's harder to get super wishy washy in a movie than prose.

There's nothing pre-teen about this series. Everything starts off at age 17 where an outcast sarcastophile meets a walking talking orgasm and they hit it off.

It deals with high school kids. Joss Whedon didn't shy away from the sexuality aspect of vampires and teens, but then again he's not a religious fundamentalist.

Sorry, I meant to say that it was geared towards pre-teens.

They are cute books. The filthy cynic in me just wants to say 'go ahead and fuck already so you can find out that vampire or no, good sex or no, he's just a man'

Uhh wrong again.
Twilight, the series, is a long Bildungsroman, which means the target reader is already underway into teenage years of adolescence.

All I know is, my wife gets all enraged when she sees these books and starts muttering about how they're just ripped off of The Vampire Diaries (another pretty goofy series I do believe wink).
