Ten Ways That SOLITARY Is Similar To TWILIGHT

I tell people that my latest novel, Solitary, is my version of Twilight. I’m sure a lot of people might roll their eyes at that comment, thinking that I’m either jumping on the vampire bandwagon or simply associating the two because they’re both teen novels and Twilight is massive.

But truthfully, there are some similarities to both novels. Here they are. Tomorrow I’ll share how the two are quite different.

#10: Both novels are written in a first person point-of-view from a teenager’s perspective.

#9. Both deal with a high school student who moves to a new town and goes to a new school.

#8. Forks, Washington is a lot like Solitary, North Carolina—dark and dreary and remote.

#7. The new student falls for the wrong person.

#6. The new student and the wrong person fall in love.

#5. There’s something going on that’s strange, something supernatural.

#4. There is a much bigger story going on than simply a boy and a girl falling in love.

#3. The theme of sacrifice is seen in both novels.

#2. Something big and dramatic happens at the end.

#1. Each book is the start of a four-book series.

  2. Dangit. I was going to say what James Andrew Wilson just said.

    Also, it's an unfortunate (and only faintly rebellious) part of my personality that the comparison to Twilight actually makes me want to read your book less. It makes me sad to say that, but I would like to read your book.

    And I say "faintly" rebellious because I've noticed that it's suddenly all the rage to hate Twilight.

  3. Great comparison between the two. I can't wait til Gravestone comes out. Sounds like Travis is going to be the next big one.

  5. Thanks for the comments everybody. Smart man, James. Rebecca–watch for my post today about ten ways Solitary isn't like Twilight. 🙂 But please read it and make up your own mind (you knew I was going to say that, huh??).

  6. I haven't quite read Twilight yet, but I still enjoyed this post. I really enjoyed Solitary, and am glad to hear there are four books in the series! 🙂

  7. Thanks Ham1299. Thanks for the great review on your blog. Would love to have you share that on Amazon if it's not already there. I really don't think Twilight and Solitary are that similar, but I'm hoping to get some Twilight devotees into my series!
