Okay so I'm new to these forums and I thought I'd ask about recomendations for a Vampire novel with a touch of romance to it. I'm not looking for a full fledged romance on the border of pornographic type thing but I like a bit of it in a novel. I've read a few vampire novels as a kid and absolutly loved it and I'm trying to find something that will be a good read but it's a difficult process. I know with the movies comming out that "Twilight" is something allong those lines and I'm wondering if anyone can give me a rundown on the Twilight series, are they any good? I kinda want to read the books before I see the movies so I've got time lol.

Any suggestions out there? I like a little bit of mistery to my novels with a little action of some kind and a few matters of the heart but not a mushy book. I would love to hear some of this forums suggestions.

Thanks

I've only read parts of Twilight, but I thought it was terribly written.

And don't worry, I'm a pretty slow reader, mainly because I have no time whatsoever. I find that as long as I'm consistent, things get read...if that makes sense at all.

Thanks seak!

Yeah without school and other crap going on I could probably read faster. Still from a young age I was slow because I tried to get every word and let the book live in my mind so it's not a bad thing really because I almost get a movie in my head going.

Thanks for the welcome, I hope to get more reading it between working security and the easy classes I have going I should get more done. I'm really just digging in and forcing myself to read more for enjoyment.

I'm the exact same way. Maybe it's because I'm ocd, but I really just have to read every word and experience every part of the writing to really enjoy it. That definitely slows the pace down.

No way?!?!? I'm OCD among a slew of alphabet soup of labels slapped on me as a child! I find it to be benificial in some ways and really just a pain in the a** in others.

I just have to keep truckin as I always say and plough through a book because if I don't I get all messed up in like 40 books at once! God help me if I go to the library, I'm destined to come home with a few I want to read....I just have to force myself to stay with one book at a time. Right now I'm reading 'Rogue Angel-Renaissance' by Alex Archer. I hope to finish it before christmas, my parents grilled me for what I wanted for christmas so I told them Twilight by Stephanie Meyer so I'm kinda sure that's what I'll end up with if they can find a copy, but then they dropped hints that they have the box set....really bad liars! So I hope to be done rogue angel so that I can start those.

Later,

I'm reading Twilight at the moment; about two thirds through, and as long as you're not looking for something particularly deep or brutal, then it might be just what you want.

I can see why some might like the series, like Harry Potter. No pretentions, page-turner. :)

Note looking for any brutality or anything, I'm not into deep stuff so I think I'm going to ordering straight from Stephanie Meyer's website, I find it allot better to go straight to the source so they get all the profits.

Thanks Hobbit!
