Twilight by Stephenie Meyer


Meyer, Stephenie. Twilight. New York, NY : Little, Brown and Co., 2005. ISBN : 0316160172.

Bella Swan is moving to boring Forks, Washington to live with her dad for awhile and she isn't looking forward to it. While life in Forks is as dreary as Bella assumed it would be, it isn't at all boring- especially once Bella gets involved with handsome and mysterious Edward Cullen, who just so happens to be a vampire. While Edward and his family do not threaten Bella (as they have made a pact to specifically not hunt humans), her relationship with Edward puts her at risk to be preyed on by other vampire packs.

I'll be honest, I didn't think I would like this book. I'm not really into vampires and it kind of sounded cheesy. But, I am hooked! I requested the second book at the library and I check often to see if it has come in yet! I also can't wait for the movie (and if you know me well you know that I do not like going to the movies!)
Check out the movie trailer...

I liked it too, but I can honestly say I liked it for the romantic tension between Edward and Bella. If there was not a romance, I would have given up on it, plain and simple. I've read the second book, and I didn't really care for it. I suppose I just don't like werewolves and vampires enough?
