Twilight Phase

As Bella breaks Charlie's heart and returns to Phoenix, we dive into why Charlie is the best (guess whose OTP was Charlie/Esme . . .) and how our opinions of Rosalie have changed since our first reads (duh). And when Alice's super-vampire hearing fails us, Bella herself won't. Girl is noble, but she's smart.

Join us with special guest Kass Morgan, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of The 100, which was adapted into The CW's hit TV show of the same name!

Kass shares what it was like to work in the industry (and be a fan) when Twilight first came out, her academic opinion about why vampires remain so popular across the ages, and whether she went to a prom-themed Twilight release party (we all did...right?). Plus, hear how Bella influenced The 100!
