This is the second vampire series I have encountered that changed the vampire mythology from the usual characteristics where they must "sleep" during the day, drink blood to survive, and have super strength to providing each vampire with a unique power that they can use during a fight and being able to go out in the sun, but unfortunately causes them to be super incredibly beautiful to humans. I know the "sparkle-affect" is kind of lame, but it is an easy approach for them to get a meal.
If you can ignore the other crap that is in the series in which Bella is addicted to Edward and goes through super withdrawal symptoms in book 2 for about 200-300 pages where nothing happens and then becomes attached and uses Jacob, who is a super whiny werewolf in books 2-4, but not as whiny in the movie, then you have an average vampire series. But, don't get me started on the super weak ending in book 4 otherwise I might just tell you to avoid reading the series.
