The Twilight Saga certainly took the world by storm when it was first released, similar to how the Harry Potter books<\/a> rocked the proverbial boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you first heard of the book series, or you learned about the fantasy world thanks to the award-winning movies, this vampire world has been pretty hard to ignore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are thousands upon thousands of young teenage fans arguing over the most important question of the saga: Team Edward or Team Jacob? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, if you watched the movies on the big screen first, you are probably interested in giving the books a go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, there\u2019s so much more detail and extra storylines in the novels that an hour and a half movie just can\u2019t quite capture. And any movie fan will know that there are 5 movies to watch. But is it the same for the books? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not. While the movie has 5 parts, the Saga is actually only four books. This is because the final book is broken down into two parts for the movie since it\u2019s much <\/em>longer than the other three. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you\u2019re looking to fill your Twilight fix, you\u2019ll also be pleased to know that there are another three spin-off books that you\u2019ll need <\/em>to read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So throughout this article, we\u2019ll go over all these books in a little more detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Twilight Saga Books<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, in the main storyline, you have four books. Twilight is the first. New moon is next, followed by Eclipse. And then Breaking Dawn is the final book of the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it soon became apparent that neither fans nor the author could let this story go quite just yet and so three additional books were released to keep the story alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those books are The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, and Midnight Sun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoiler Alert: <\/strong>In this section, we will be discussing the plot of each book and so there may be spoilers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twilight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This book was published back in 2005.  It is the first novel in the series. In this book, Bella Swan moves from sun-shining Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as she settles into her new home she soon starts to realize that the world she lives in is not as it seems when she falls in love with school student and \u2018vegan\u2019 vampire (!!) <\/em>Edward Cullen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella finds herself in a world much more dangerous than she ever thought.  With a boyfriend who thirsts for her blood however much he may fight it and a separate coven of dangerous vampires chasing and tracking her down, how will she ever survive? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conflicting love interests and dramatic payoffs aren’t specific to Twilight though. You might find the After<\/em> book series<\/a> interesting as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Moon <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the second installment of the saga, published in 2006, you\u2019ll be reaching for the tissues as the love of Bella\u2019s life abandons her for the sake of her own safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when the Cullens leave does that also mean that the danger is gone? In this book, you\u2019ll meet Jacob Black, who befriends Bella. But when Jacob turns into a werewolf things become a whole lot more complicated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eclipse<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the third book, published in 2007, Bella must now try and decide between rivals Edward Cullen and Jacob Black.  She loves them both but their natural hatred for each other certainly complicates things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, both boys must put their differences aside and join forces to protect Bella as a Newborn Army of vampires is set to try and kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thrilling and just a bit horrific, right? Well, speaking of thriller and horror, do you know how many books has James Patterson written<\/a>? He’s one of the most prolific and successful thriller writers ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breaking Dawn<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The final installment of the saga was published in 2008. A lot happens in this book, which is why it is in two parts for the movie. The story starts by focusing on Bella and Edward\u2019s wedding (ah!) <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
