By not reading Cormier you are only missing intense despair and suffering.
The Mormon Twilight thing isn't entirely surprising. As some people on a reading list where I, um, lurk, have pointed out, it's all very chaste - they only barely kiss, Vampire Tamahome outright refuses to have sex with her (for Man-of-Steel-Woman-of-Kleenex reasoning rather than for moral reasons) and later they decide to only have sex after marriage, I don't know why. (I read spoilers, because I didn't want to let trainwreck curiosity force me to read the rest of the series.)
