Hi Em. I enjoyed helping you find your answers to some of your questions. The backstories were added by Meyer to help fill out a particular character. Almost ALL the characters of Twilight have some type of backstory. BUT...if the backstories were included in the films...they'd be extremely long. The films even had to edit some things that were actually in the book...there just wasn't enough room. One chapter of Twilight was COMPLETELY left out of the movie because there wasn't enough room. It was the chapter on blood typing. Much of the books had to be left out of the films...so there was no room for backstories. After Twilight, Meyer wrote an official Guide for Twilight. That's where most of this information comes from. You can buy the official guide. And...YES! I would definitely recommend Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles." In fact, I've been rereading them. However, I don't know how old you are....and the Chronicles were not exactly written for a youthful audience. Rice's stories are good...but they're far more mature than the Twilight Saga, and they were written for an adult audience. There are no sparkly vampires, and they don't attend high school. Anyway, the first book is called, "Interview With the Vampire." And, Yes. The Jacob/Renesmee thing is quite odd...but I have to say...there are also many odd things in the Vampire Chronicles. One of which is Claudia. Claudia was turned into a vampire when she's only five. However, her mind still develops and she eventually develops a grown woman's mind...but in a 5 year old body. Claudia become rather mental...and it's not a happy ending for her. So be prepared.
