Scargill Cove is the perfect place for Fallon Jones, confirmed recluse and investigator of the paranormal. It's a hot spot, a convergence point for unusually strong currents of energy, which might explain why the town attracts misfits and drifters like moths to a flame. Now someone else has been drawn to the Cove-Isabella Valdez, on the run from some very dangerous men.
When she starts work as Fallon's assistant, Isabella impresses him by organizing his pathologically chaotic office-and doesn't bat an eye at the psychic aspect of his job. She's a kindred spirit, a sanctuary from a world that considers his talents a form of madness. But after a routine case unearths an antique clock infused with dark energy, Fallon and Isabella are dragged into the secret history of Scargill Cove and forced to fight for their lives, as they unravel a cutthroat conspiracy with roots in the Jones family business . . . and Isabella's family tree.

Brother turns on brother to win the ultimate prize, the throne of England, in this dazzling account of the wars of the Plantagenets.

The White Queen tells the story of a woman of extraordinary beauty and ambition who, catching the eye of the newly crowned boy king, marries him in secret and ascends to royalty.

After the happy ending of Eclipse, Stephenie Meyer continues the Saga with the fourth novel, Breaking Dawn . In Eclipse, the story ends with the Cullens finally defeating Victoria, the ruthless, wild-haired vampire, set out to kill Bella Swan as revenge for the Cullens killing her mate, James.
In Breaking Dawn, marriage is the next big step in the protagonist, Bella Swan’s life. But she’s not just getting married to the guy next door, she’s marrying her gorgeous, intelligent, compassionate vampire fiancé, Edward Cullen. The vampire that was out to kill her is dead and now she gets to marry Edward Cullen.
This teen romance novel is compelling and fast-paced, with so many things happening at once. There’s the wedding, there’s the honeymoon, there’s the pregnancy and of course Bella’s best friend-who-wants-to-be-more-than-just-friends, Jacob Black, who plays a big part in this novel.
Breaking Dawnis first written from Bella’s point of view, then Jacobs, then back to Bella’s again. Although Meyer’s style of writing keeps you captivated by the story—by a gravitational pull—I couldn’t help but to be disappointed by not being able to read things from Edward’s point of view.
Bella Swan is torn between a wolf, Jacob Black, and a vampire, Edward Cullen. In the midst of this sharp triangle of love, an unexpected visitor appears and leaves an unfamiliar scent behind in Bella's bedroom. She later find out that this is the scent of Victoria, James' lover from Twilight , seeking revenge on Edward for killing James. She believes that it costs and eye for an eye, or a lover for a lover.
As we read, Victoria is building up a new born vampire army, for the Cullens to fight. In the meantime, Bella wants to become a vampire, but Edward wants them to get married first.
Will it be Edward or Jacob? Find out in Meyer's Eclipse
New Moon is sequel to Twilight. The story begins when Bella's 18th birthday and a simple paper cut as she opens her presents leads Edward's brother Jasper to almost kill her - to keep her safe, Edward decides to sever ties with her, convincing her that the Cullen family must move on - must leave Forks - and so must she.
She does not take it well. After a week of being catatoinc and several months of going through the motions like a depressed zombie she discovers that if she does something reckless and her adrenaline gets going, she hears Edward's voice talking to her in her head. And so, in order to hear it again, she enlists the help of her friend from the reservation, Jacob Black, into restoring an old motorbike and teaching her how to ride it.
Jacob is the only one able to block out the pain of Edward's absence, so Bella starts spending a lot of time with him. When he suddenly breaks contact with her, she's determined to see him again. Which is when she discovers that the old tribal legends are not just superstitions: he's become a werewolf, a protector of the people - from the vampiric Cullen family, against which they have deep enmity. Only the treaty between them keeps them from attacking Edward and his family.
The pack of 5 werewolfs - all young men from the reservation - are on the track of a pair of vampires who are hunting for Bella and manage to kill one, Laurent. Victoria is still on the loose. Meanwhile, despite the danger, Bella is still doing what she can to hear Edward's voice again. So she decides to cliff-dive, which works, but she nearly drowns.

Unfortunately, his other sister Rosalie, who has never liked Bella, tells Edward what Alice saw - and when Edward calls the house asking for Bella's dad, Jacob tells him he's at the funeral, neglecting to say whose funeral. And so Alice sees Edward rushing to Italy to do whatever it takes for the ancient, royal vampire family in residence there, to kill him. Alice and Bella must race against time to prevent it.
Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made.

Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife—between desire and danger. Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, The Twilightcaptures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
