Stephenie Meyer
Stephenie Meyer is a name that became synonymous with the supernatural romance genre after the release of Twilight, a book that captured the imagination of millions and became a global phenomenon. With her unique blend of romance, suspense, and the supernatural, Meyer redefined the boundaries of young adult fiction and introduced the world to a new kind of love story—one that was as dangerous as it was compelling.
Born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1973, Meyer’s early life was far from the stuff of vampire legends, yet it was full of influences that would later shape her writing. A lifelong reader and passionate storyteller, Meyer’s path to becoming a writer wasn’t immediate. She graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in English, and it wasn’t until after she’d married and had children that the idea for Twilight came to her in a vivid dream. That dream, featuring a human girl and a vampire, sparked the beginning of a saga that would become a cultural touchstone.
The Twilight Saga
In the overcast quiet of a sleepy Pacific Northwest town, something ancient stirs beneath the surface of ordinary life. A girl who longs to disappear finds herself seen by someone who’s spent a century trying to remain unseen—and in that collision, the world shifts. This is the haunting heartbeat of Twilight, a series that reshaped the landscape of young adult fantasy by pairing mortal vulnerability with immortal longing.
The Twilight Saga consists of five primary books, and includes two additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
