Twilight has grossed over $70M in revenue since the movie’s debut, it fast became a must have for any Vampire lover. Now with 3 more books to go in the series, there is no telling how high that number will go, but I believe it is safe to say that Twilight (the books and movies) aren’t going anywhere any time soon.

I decided to write a very short (and I do mean very short) excerpt on what the Twilight Books are. I don’t want to go into much detail and spoil your reading, but here is the general background of what is going to happen in each movie.

Main characters:

• Bella Swan – high school girl
• Edward Cullen – Vampire that goes to school with Bella
• Cullen Family – Edward Cullen’s family
• Victoria – Part of the Vampire’s clan that tries to kill Bella
• Jacob Black – Werewolf and friend of Bella’s father

So basically, thats what you are going to read if you have been thinking about picking up these books. They are much more exciting than my short description might make you think – so don’t be fooled, they are definitely worth the read, or in my case, the audio book is worth a listen.
