I read this book in 3 days. If that says anything about how much I liked the book. Which is wierd, because I wouldn't guess that I would like a teen book about a normal high school girl who falls in love with a vampire. Seriously. Not kidding about the vampire part. The book moves really fast, and is really easy to read.
Bella has to move from living with her mom in Phoenix to living with her dad in Forks, Washington. When Bella starts her new school, she seems drawn to gorgeous but distant Edward, even though he alternates between acting like he wants her dead, and acting as if she's not even there. In a freak accident, Edward saves Bella's life using inhuman strength and speed. Bella knows something is up with Edward (and his 4 adopted siblings), but can't figure it out. A friend shares a legend with Bella that Edward and his family are vampires, and have been living in the area for many, many years.
In the meantime, Edward seems drawn to Bella, despite the way he acts. Edward once again saves Bella's life by being in the right place at the right time, and they begin a tentative friendship. As they become closer, Bella knows that Edward and his family are vampires, but she can't seem to stay away from them. Edward comes clean about being a vampire, and tells her that although his family still crave human blood, they quench their thirst with animal blood.
About three things I was absolutely positive:
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him–and I didn’t know how dominant that part might be–that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
Edward keeps his darker vampire tendencies in check, and falls in love with Bella. His family accepts Bella, because they can see his love for her. Bella's life is in jeopardy towards the end of the book when another pack of vampires travel through Forks and discover the odd relationship between Bella and Edward's family.
