www.stepheniemeyer.comStephenie Meyer's four-part series of supernatural romance novels grew more popular as each book was released. Popular with both adults and teens, the series offers a darkly atmospheric (yet wholesome) tale of forbidden love between a high school girl and a vampire, mixed with a complex plot about good triumphing over evil. In addition to the Twilight series, Meyer has also written a romance/science fiction novel for adults titled The Host as well as YA novella called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner based on a minor character from Eclipse (Twilight series #3). Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn have all been made into movies. Breaking Dawn will be released in two parts with part 1 scheduled for November 18, 2011.
