Are There Any Great Romance Series Books Similar To Twilight?

I’ve been obsessed with finding books that capture the same addictive mix of romance and supernatural drama as 'Twilight'. One series that really scratched that itch for me was 'A Shade of Vampire' by Bella Forrest. It has that same forbidden love vibe with a vampire-human romance, but the world-building is even more expansive, with different supernatural creatures and realms. The chemistry between the protagonists, Derek and Sofia, is electric, and the series just keeps delivering with over 50 books. Another gem is 'The Covenant' series by Jennifer L. Armentrout, which blends Greek mythology with a steamy romance that feels just as intense as Bella and Edward’s. If you’re into werewolves, 'Blood and Chocolate' by Annette Curtis Klause is a darker, more mature take on the trope. These books all have that same page-turning quality that makes 'Twilight' so hard to put down.

If you’re craving that 'Twilight' magic but want something fresh, I’d recommend diving into 'The Mortal Instruments' series by Cassandra Clare. It’s got urban fantasy, forbidden love, and a love triangle that’s just as gripping as Edward-Jacob-Bella. The world of Shadowhunters and demons is richly detailed, and Clary and Jace’s relationship is full of twists and angst. Another fantastic pick is 'Hush, Hush' by Becca Fitzpatrick—fallen angels instead of vampires, but the same slow-burn, dangerous romance vibe. Nora and Patch’s dynamic is intense and unpredictable, just like Bella and Edward’s.

For a more modern twist, 'Crave' by Tracy Wolff is like 'Twilight' meets 'Harry Potter', with a gothic academy setting and a brooding vampire love interest. The series expands into dragons, witches, and other supernatural elements, but the romance stays front and center. If you’re open to a darker, sexier vibe, 'Black Dagger Brotherhood' by J.R. Ward is adult paranormal romance with epic world-building and steamy relationships. These series all deliver that addictive blend of romance and supernatural stakes that made 'Twilight' unforgettable.

As someone who devoured 'Twilight' and then hunted for similar reads, I’d say 'The Vampire Diaries' series by L.J. Smith is a must. It’s got the same small-town mystery, love triangle tension, and immortal angst, but with more morally gray characters. Damon and Stefan Salvatore are like Edward and Jacob dialed up to eleven, and Elena’s choices feel just as emotionally charged as Bella’s. Another underrated pick is 'Sweet Evil' by Wendy Higgins—angel-demon hybrids and a sweet, forbidden romance that’ll give you all the feels.

For a lighter, funnier take, 'Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side' by Beth Fantaskey is a delightful rom-com with vampires and arranged marriage tropes. The banter is top-tier, and the romance is surprisingly heartfelt. If you’re into historical settings, 'The Beautiful' by Renée Ahdieh mixes vampires with 19th-century New Orleans glamour. The atmosphere is lush, and the romance is slow-burn perfection. These books all capture that 'Twilight' essence while offering something new.
