I remember years ago reading the Twilight Series as a teenager. The story of a girl falling in love with a vampire was very popular. Four books and four movies later, the author was an international sensation. All of the books from the original series are written from the perspective of the female protagonist--Bella. I recall years ago there were musings that the author was writing a parallel book telling the same story but this time from the male vampire's perspective--Edward. Unfortunately, someone leaked a few chapters from the manuscript onto the internet. Upset from this betrayal, the author Meyer halted all work and publication of the book. Much to my surprise, I discovered she recently changed her mind. Meyer both finished and published her book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Although, it should be noted that this book is really just the first Twilight book from Edward the vampire's perspective. It does not cover Edward's side of things throughout all four books of the original series. Nevertheless, it does give readers enough of a window into his mind to understand how he feels.
