The Hunger Games
Suzanne Collins“Twilight” was part of the blockbuster YA trifecta, along with “Harry Potter” and “The Hunger Games.” The latter frequently gets compared to Stephenie Meyer’s saga because both have prominent love triangles. Team Edward or Team Jacob; Team Peeta or Team Gale? (Listen, we’re not here to tell you who to love, but there is a subset of correct answers and picking standalone Edward or Gale is not among them.)
Sunshine
Robin McKinleyIf you want your vampires way off the usual path, with a story that came out before the “Twilight” craze and speaks more to your “Buffy”-loving soul, then this award-winning novel from Robin McKinley is your next read. “Sunshine” is a full-on urban fantasy, and we won’t lie, it’s pretty weird.
The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening
L. J. SmithTeam Edward, rejoice: Here is your love triangle between two sexy vampires. Fans of the “Vampire Diaries” TV series adaptation will find much different in the book to hold your interest.
Shiver (Shiver, Book 1)
Maggie StiefvaterThose on Team Jacob (we didn’t forget about you, best team!) will find much to love in the “Wolves of Mercy Falls” trilogy. A bittersweet romance between a human girl and a wolf boy both in danger of losing their humanity.
Jane Eyre
Charlotte BronteThere aren’t supernatural creatures in this classic, but “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer cites Charlotte Brontë’s work as a key inspiration for the young adult trilogy. “I do think that there are elements of Edward in Edward Rochester and elements of Bella in Jane. Jane was someone I was close to as a child — we were good friends! I think in some ways she was more real to me than any other fictional heroine,” Meyer told Entertainment Weekly in an article titled “12 of My ‘Twilight’ Inspirations.”
Hush, Hush
Becca FitzpatrickReleased right on the heels of Meyer’s series, “Hush, Hush” has been described as “Twilight,” but with angels and demons instead of vampires and werewolves. As of 2018, a movie adaptation has been in development as everyone clamors to relive the highs of Edward and Bella’s paranormal romance.
