Hey, I enjoyed the books well enough until the last one, which truly was awful in story and writing.
But you're right that it did not induce in me any fantasies of vampire sex.
ETA: Responding to LSPE, quite a few of the flaws I see in the writing I think can be attributed to it being a YA series, which is why I generally avoid YA novels regardless of how good they may be for the genre. Though she tries to hide in the melodrama the rigid adherence to traditional mores around sex particularly were tiresome. The minor linguistic and geographic flubs (Meyer is not particularly familiar with the Puget Sound region and based on various word choices I correctly detected she was not from the PNW) were offputting as well but I realize that 99% of the readership wouldn't notice and if they did wouldn't care.
