WARNING!!! If you don’t want to know what happens in this book WITH DETAIL…DO NOT READ!!!!!

The book is Twilight.

In Twilight we meet Bella who has just moved to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state from sunny Arizona. She is moving in with her father, whom she does not know all that well. Her parents split up when she was young and her mother never could get used to the small Washington town of Forks that sees only a few days of sunshine a year and it rains almost constantly. But Bella’s mom wants to travel with her new minor league baseball player boyfriend so Bella decides to relocate to her father’s home.

Bella is anxious about fitting into a small town highschool and she is something of a curiosity, although what peaks her interest is 5 unusual and reclusive students. They are quite simply the 5 most gorgeous people she has ever seen. They also have an unusual story…they are all the adopted teens of the equally gorgeous and young town doctor and his wife. They are Edward, Emmitt, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper Cullen.

Bella’s first real encounter with one of them places her at adds with the Cullen she is the most intrigued by…the stunning Edward. She sits next to him in Biology class and he is anything but friendly. He grips his desk the entire class as if he could snap it in half at any second and he glares at Bella with hatred in his eyes. After class Bella discovers Edward in the office trying to switch Biology classes and once again she is the victim of his death glares. On one hand Bella would like to think there is no possible reason he could have anything against her, but her instincts tell her she is indeed the reason for Edward’s bizarre behavior.

Edward disappears from school after that for many days until finally he returns and this time he is much more friendly to Bella in Biology class although clearly still tense when around her. Their relationship takes and unexpected twist one morning before school when a fellow student loses control of his van on the icy school parking lot. Bella is directly in the path of the van and about to be crushed between it and her own vehicle. Out of the corner of her eye she sees Edward across the parking lot watching in horror as she is about be killed.

The next thing Bella knows Edward has leaped into the path of the on coming van and he shields Bella with his body and uses a single hand to stop the van in its tracks. Wide-eyed Bella knows immediately that Edward is superhuman. Having demonstrated his abilities and powers to Bella, Edward confides in her that he has been seventeen for almost 100 years. He is a vampire. He and his family have chosen to live peaceably with humans and not feed on them. This is especially hard for Edward since he met Bella though as her scent is more powerful and enticing than any he has ever come across.

So begins their love story as they get to know each other…a vampire and a human, inextricably drawn to each other. Both quickly realize that even with all the obstacles between them they can’t bear to be apart and they start spending every waking moment together. Everything hits the fan though when Bella accompanies the Cullens into the woods to watch them play a game of vampire baseball. Unexpectedly a group of 3 unknown vampires (James, Laurent, and Victoria) traveling through the area find them and ask to play the game. Everything is civil at first until James catches Bella’s scent and realizes that she is human. I fight nearly ensues as Edward protects her but unfortunately this intrigues James, who is a true hunter. Alice, who can see the future, sees that James has set his sites irrevocably on Bella as his next kill.

The Cullen family must now figure out how to protect their new human friend as she is stalked by a ruthless vampire. Edward can’t imagine losing the soul mate he has waited almost a century for. The book has many twists and turns but by the end Bella knows that she wants to spend eternity with Edward and she wants him to turn her into a vampire.

I LOVED this book! I was glued to it from page one.
