I will be honest… in the past year I have read this series four times. I am sure by now the entire world knows the story, human girl falls in love with vampire boy, vampire boy falls in love with human girl, human girl’s best friend is a boy werewolf and he falls in love with her too, there are outsiders who want to harm human girl because she knows about vampires….
But that isn’t what I love about this series. I keep re-reading it because it’s simply written, the characters are familiar and easy to like but not incredibly complex, it’s not like a cheesy teenage love story. I love it because it brings back the rush, exhilaration, thrill, and anxiety of the first time you fall in love. It reminds me that the first time I fell in love I would have done anything for that other person and thought I would die without them. Overdramatic to be sure, but that was the way I felt and the time and these books bring all those feelings back.
I am sure that there are people out there who have decided that they won’t read these books because it’s about teenagers and the supernatural. That is not a good reason. I absolutely recommend the entire series to anyone who wants to remember what it feels like to fall in love, and what it feels like to lose that person.
I also love these books because they break the mold of typical vampires. I enjoy that.
There are many other themes and lessons throughout the series, this is the main one for me. Read them and enjoy! It is one of my guilty pleasures.
