If Twilight is exactly your brand of heroin, you'll be pleased to know that just because Stephenie Meyer's supply has temporarily stalled, she isn't the only pusher in town that can give you the goods.
Here are 10 books that will be able to deliver a comparable literary high. Some you've heard of before; some are brand new. All, however, are excellent books that a Twi-hard would do well to consider while impatiently waiting for the release of New Moon.
10 best books for Twilight addicts
1. The Reformed Vampire Support Group - Catherine Jinks
Out of all the tomes I've sifted through in search of quality post-Twilight fare, this is the best of the bunch. The Reformed Vampire Support Group is witty, funny, adventurous, and even contains a nifty little shout-out to Stephenie Meyer (it's on page 74, if you're curious).
Clearly written in response to Twilight mania, the story is told from the perspective of Nina Harrison who has been a moody 15 year-old vampire since 1973 and she's convinced that being a vampire isn't as great as it seems.
3. The House of Night series - P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast
Admittedly, this series is no Twilight: there's enough cursing, promiscuous sex, and irritatingly slow plotlines to go around for plenty of vampire/vampyre lifetimes. However, the idea of a school where you learn to be a vampyre is interesting (let me guess: were they trying to make a Harry Potter, Twilight mud-blood out of this one?) and if you're going to die without a rapid infusion of vampire-laced fiction, this could be a life-saver for you. The series consists of five books: Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, Untamed, and Hunted, with a sixth book, Tempted, scheduled for release on October 27th.
