That does sound horrible.
Having read all four of the twilight books, I can honestly say that they were undeserving of the praise and attention they have received, and if I could, I would burn every copy. It's just so boring.
The characters are laughable parodies of humans, the plot can be simplified down to: "I'm an insufferable idiot who lusts after pretty males, and who wants to be treated like a princess despite my obvious mental handicap, and possible insanity, which under normal circumstances would drive away any sane male."
Also: diamond skinned goody-two-shoes vampires make me rage.
That group in Italy would have been pretty badass, if they had, I dunno, not lived in the fucking sewers like rats. I mean, come one. Evil vampires live in sewers, and lure tourists to their deaths? They are ageless, immortal killing machines. I think they could afford a fucking manse or eight. Look at the Cullen family. They are young upstarts, and they own small countries.
Oh yes, another thing I hate is the repeated "white knight saves the damsel in distress" shit that keeps reoccurring, with a near Romeo and Juliet ripoff thrown in.
