Book similar to Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

starflake

Hi there, I'm currently finishing book 3 of the twilight series. When I finish book four I would love to read something similar. I know this series is a childrens book but I really adore them! Does anyone have any suggestions of other books or series like the twilight series?! Thank you in advance

Anne Rice's Vampire chronicals.

This really shouldn't be in Literature... :pac:

Maybe try the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton.

If its vampires your after, definatly Anne Rice as suggested above, if it stephanie Meyer, she has another book called 'Host' which is also a good read, plus you can get the first book of twilight from Edwards point of view from her website. (its a draft). I think its Stephaniemeyer.com do a google search.

Thanks Everyone

If it's the style of writing, there are a tone of books I could recommend. You might like Tithe, Valiant and Ironside. They are modern fairy tale. They have the same target age group.

Anita Blake as stated, is good. If there was something specific about Twilight you are looking for, Anne Rice might not be a good go unless you thought you could focus for it. I liked the Twilight books but couldn't stand Anne Rice (sorry for those who are fans of hers. I can't read Stephen King either. They both bore me <.<).

But beware Midnight Sun is just a draft. It ends on chapter 12 and Stephenie Meyer doesn't intend to finish it.

She said she has actually decided to finish it now, but the full thing won't be out for a while.

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. It's not lowbrow crud either!

Or Elizabeth Kostova's "The Historian". My personal favourite when it comes to vampire stories (apart from the original and best from Stoker).

There's another series called the Vampire Academy series. I haven't read any of them but they seem popular.

I also forgot to mention the Sookie Stackhouse series of books. They've been turned into a TV series called True Blood in the states.

Guys thanks so much for all of the suggestions. I have ordered the Anne Rice book and actually have the Historian at home and never gone around to reading it. Thanks a mill

House of Night series from PC & Kristen Cast are popular with Twilight readers. Latest 2 in the series have just come out over here. The books are from the same publishing house as Meyer, and will be HUGE this christmas 2009.

I've just finished reading a review copy of Hush Hush and I remembered this thread. It's quite like Twilight, only with fallen angels instead of vampires. I think that young adults will love it.
Link to the review on my blog here.

The Mediator by Meg Cabot goes along the same lines but with a ghost rather than a vampire. Very enjoyable series. There are six altogether.

Anne Rice is AMAZING I love her vampire chronicles, but the mood is completely different than Twilight. I guess if you wanna read about vampires then any vampire novel would do haha

Twilight_Muse

PC & Kristen Cast's House of Night Series.
A whole series of books. there're much more, 'modern' than twilight.

Are the Twilight books good??

I love Interview with a Vampire and The Historian but don't want a really kiddie book!

Ave Sodalis

They are very good. Well-written, and enjoyed by teenagers and adults alike. It's not a kiddes book, especially the last one.

Linguo

cool may give them a try! Oh also try The Strain for a vampire book, just finished it!

The Darkangel trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce.

Some have mentioned 'The Historian'....I'm reading it at the moment and finding it a real struggle to get through it:(.

I'm after reading 'Let The Right One In'. Best vampire story I've read since Salem's Lot. I couldn't put it down.

Agree with you on Let the Right One In, great book! I would recommend the film too (it's in Swedish, I'd watch it before Hollywood remakes it and ruins it!)

OP I haven't read any of the Twilight series but recently read Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris (this is the one that the new TV series True Blood is based on) and enjoyed it
