With the August 2nd release of Breaking Dawn rapidly approaching, this is a great time for anyone unfamiliar with Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga to jump on board. Breaking Dawn will be the final installment in the series (Midnight Sun, an alternate version of Twilight, not withstanding), so those who start now won't have to endure the terrible wait the rest of us have suffered!The twilight saga is, at it's heart, a story of love overcoming all obstacles. Categorized as YA because of its high school setting and mild rating, Twilight follows a young woman's journey through the heady, murky mess that is created when your First Love and your True Love are one in the same. Oh, yeah, and there's one other complication -
"About three things I was absolutely positive.
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him -
and I didn't know how dominant that part might be -
that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."

Curious yet? You should be - the Twilight Saga manages to take every stereotype associated with YA romance and vampire stories, trash them, and set up in their place a gorgeous tale of what it means to love, what makes life worth living, and what things are worth sacrificing everything for. This is a must read for anyone remotely interested in 'clean' romance and fantasy novels.
