Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined

Product Information

It took me a while to stop thinking of Beau as Bella and all the other gender swap characters, but eventually I started to enjoy the little changes and adaptations. Yes it is still pretty much the same exact story but there are a few little changes and holes filled in. You know, the writing cleaned up a bit. And accommodation for Bella/Beau being a boy and all. And there is a fairly predictable alternative ending that I liked under the circumstances. She's also criticized for being too consumed with her love interest, as if that's somehow just a girl thing. (That's NOT what we said, Meyer.) But I've always maintained that it would have made no difference if the human were male and the vampire female - it's still the same story. Gender and species aside, Twilight has always been a story about the magic and obsession and the frenzy of first love. So I thought to myself, Well, what if I put that to the test?"

Matthias Jameson is brilliant but free-spirited.A lover of history,misunderstood by his loved ones.But after losing his grams,dark forces manifest within him which causes the world of creatures to stir.As he uncovers the secrets of his line and powers,blood-curdling horrors converge on Beacon Hills threatening to consume it,forcing him to ally with others in hopes of killing the sinster forces that have haunted his line for generations by lurking in the shadows. But I’ve always maintained that it would have made no difference if the human were male and the vampire female— it’s still the same story. Gender and species aside, Twilight has always been a story about the magic and obsession and frenzy of first love." That being said, there were parts of Life and Death that felt a little… on the nose. I mean, it’s blatantly obvious that Stephenie Meyer worked really hard to sell Beau’s story as pro-feminist. Twilight had always been subtle in the way it examined feminism and gender roles. Twilight showed us that Bella was this intelligent and mature young woman who refused to confirm to society’s expectations. Life and Death, on the other hand, was constantly trying to tell me. And now you've got a super tall dude with his gangly arms & legs flopping all over the place. There was no way I could get past the mental image of how absurd it would look. Sorry. Just...weird.You've heard of Life and Death, the gender/sex-swapped retelling of Twilight written by bestselling author Stephenie Meyer. Now get ready for Euphoria and Agony, a Beau POV retelling of New Moon written by some internet randos (podcast hosts G and Shannon of Three Books One Plot!) But since Beau was immediately made into a vampire, there was no need for any sort of confrontation. Edythe (in her one funny moment) points out that she doesn't think having a showdown with them would go very well.

Of course not. But I did have a blast reading these books with my BFF. We got all caught up in the sparkly love story and spent hours on the phone discussing the plot. It was like we were teenagers again. And the entire time we were in the thrall of our Twitard mania, we would giggle about what a couple of idiots we were to get so wrapped up in such a cheesetastic story. I thought about falling to my knees on purpose. This was the kind of beauty you worshiped. The kind you built temples for and offered sacrifices to...what would a goddess want from a mediocre mortal like me? BWAHAHAHA....wait....she actually published this?People do not want to just read Meyer's books; they want to climb inside them and live there." — Time
