Twilight Books in Order

by Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan moves to Forks, Washington, and falls for Edward Cullen, a brooding vampire whose family clashes with rival covens and shape-shifting wolves.

About the series

Stephenie Meyer's Twilight is the paranormal-romance series that defined the late-2000s YA boom. Seventeen-year-old Bella Swan moves to the perpetually rainy town of Forks, Washington, where she falls for Edward Cullen, a 104-year-old vampire whose "vegetarian" family clashes with both rival vampire covens and the local shape-shifting Quileute wolves.

Recommended reading order

Read the four main novels in publication order. Midnight Sun retells the first book from Edward's perspective and is best read after Breaking Dawn — it rewards readers who already know how the saga ends. The novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner slots between books three and four.
