Bella is a girl moving from her mom's home in Phoenix, AZ to her dad's in Forks, WA. She does this to free her mom to pursue a new life with her new husband. In Forks, she encounters an interesting family of extraordinarily beautiful people among which is a boy she develops a keen interest in. A strained relationship evolves wherein a special attribute of his parallels the strain felt by all young lovers with regard to sex and defining what a relationship actually involves. In the latter books, Bella must learn to handle learning that her best friend is a shape-shifting wolf creature (not a werewolf, as is explained in the 4th book), that his Native American clan is a natural enemy to her boy friend, and try to be a peace-keeping influence on everyone as problems develop due to her stubborn insistence on being part of these disparate groups. Three of the books have been made into a movie and the fourth will come out as two movies over the next couple of years (2011 & 2012).
Books: 1) Twilight; 2) New Moon; 3) Eclipse and 4) Breaking Dawn.

Share: Word-of-mouth. This series has already taken off and need merely keep up with demand.
