'Twilight' Author Stephenie Meyer Announces 'Midnight Sun' Official Release Date!

Stephenie Meyer is officially releasing Twilight novel “Midnight Sun“!

The author teased fans last week with a countdown clock on her website, which many concluded it was related to the new book.

“Midnight Sun” is a retelling of Twilight, but from Edward Cullen’s point of view.

“I am very excited to finally, finally announce the release of ‘Midnight Sun’ on August 4. It’s a crazy time right now and I wasn’t sure if this was the right time to put this book out, but some of you have been waiting for just so, so long. It didn’t seem fair to make you wait anymore. Sorry about the bad timing. Hopefully this book can be a distraction from the real world,” Stephenie told GMA Monday morning (May 4).

“Midnight Sun” will be released on August 4th!
