Review "The text is smoothly written and sure to please readers looking to consume every possible tidbit. For those who want to dig a little deeper, Spencer does a good job of relating Meyer's themes to the literary works that inspired her. . . . Handsome full-color, often full-page, photos appear throughout, glamorously showcasing cast members and adding visual twinkle."  —School Library Journal “The glut of Twilight-related merchandise is indeed overwhelming, so it’s worthwhile noting when quality products come along. Case in point: the recently published primer from ECW Press entitled Love Bites — The Unofficial Saga of Twilight. Written by Liv Spencer, this beautifully assembled book is filled with dozens of colour pictures and enough information to sate even the most rabid vampire fan out there.”  —Scene Magazine "With beautiful full color pages, this book takes you from the beginnings of Stephenie Meyer to the future release of Breaking Dawn on the big screen . . .  I think it is safe to say that the Twilight Saga books are the Twilighter’s bible, and Love Bites is the study guide.” —Cullen Brothers Anonymous (website) About the Author Liv Spencer is the author of "The Miranda Cosgrove and iCarly Spectacular!" and "Taylor Swift: The Unofficial Story."
