If you haven’t yet read the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer, you should. All 4 books are out. This is their order:
Plus there’s a companion piece to Eclipse entitled The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. Wondering who is Bree Tanner and why does she get a novella? There’s also a guide to the world, The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide.
Meyer was working on Edward’s version of Twilight called Midnight Sun until it was leaked. That’s pretty good too. Who doesn’t love getting inside Edward’s head?

Crossed Stars written by Christy Blow is amazing. It is like Twilight but with angels. The handsome Cassiel will leave you looking to the stars for your own guardian angel.

alyssa says
Heya. I think tou should consider L.J Smith’s ‘Nightworld’ series on your list. Dinner with a Vampire by Abigail Gibbs is also a must read. For something more mature, check out Nalini Singh

Fallen series is also exactly like that. You will be shocked by the similarities. At first I actually thought she had Lauren Kate, the author of fallen series violated the copyright claims!
i am bob says

Mel says
Nora Roberts books The circle trilogy: Morrigan’s Cross (book 1), Dance of the Gods (book 2), Valley of Silence (book 3) are an absolute must read and I would go as far as saying they are even better than the Twilight books and I’m a fan!!
melina says
