Twilight
Stephanie Meyer
(Little, Brown Books Group)
It simply can't be denied - the Twilight saga has captured the hearts of young adults in this nation. If you haven't picked up Twilight and fallen in love with this complicated love story, you're definitely in the minority.
Stephanie Meyer twists forbidden love, drama, suspense and temptation into a novel that has entranced over 17 million people worldwide.
Whether you like romance, drama or fiction, Twilight accommodates everyone, telling the story of the irresistible and dangerous vampire coven known as the Cullens, and the romance between immortal Edward Cullen and woefully human Bella Swan.
Bella moves away from her mother to live with her father in the rainy, constantly cloud-covered town of Forks, fully expecting nothing interesting to happen in a town with a population of 3120 people. However, Bella's so-far quiet existence takes a sudden turn.
In her new town she is befriended immediately, catches the attention of many boys at school and tricks her friend into telling her the bizarre legend of the immortals secretly residing in her new home town. Even more bizarrely, that legend turns out to be true. Oh, and she falls in love with Edward who just happens to be a vampire who thirsts for her blood.
As if this wasn't enough of an interesting twist, a series of people go missing at the hands of another coven and Bella becomes the prime target of vampire James, who begins hunting her for sport.
With the Cullen family protecting her and intent on tracking down James, it seems no harm will come to Bella. But will the Cullens' protection and Edward's love be enough to save her when James tells Bella he has taken one of the people she loves most?
Twilight is an instant obsession for most young readers. Once you pick it up, you can say goodbye to your social life. It is so addictive, you will not be able to put it down.
