 | Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) by Stephenie Meyer
Buy new: $5.50 / Used from: $4.00 Not as good as everyone says, but still good. A horror/romance teen novel about a girl who falls in love with a vampire in the tiny, depressing town of Forks.

Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.65 Teen horror trilogy. About a girl who is half asian, half white, and is going nowhere in her life. But she has always been in touch with faeries, and they request that she be their "tithe".
