And The Bookend by Elisabeth Alexander The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer Stephenie Meyer’s three masterpieces, Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse, are enchanting, compelling, and thrilling novels. When Twilight was written, Stephenie Meyer was a first-time author to the publishing industry. She had never had a work of hers published, but Twilight instantly flew to the bestseller list. The series includes super-hero-like vampires, sweet and juvenile werewolves, and an impossible love between one particularly noble vampire named Edward, and the accident-prone main character, Bella.
