Her mother remarries and she decides to move in with her police chief father. Her senior year begins at Forks High School and love and romance is soon to follow. She meets eighteen year old Edward Cullen. What Bella does not know is that he and others in the town or Vampires. Bella quickly finds that Edward is hiding something and she is determined to uncover the mystery. She soon finds out that not all vampires are kind and she almost dies at the hands of a vampire. Edward saves her from her death. Her mother comes to take her from Forks, the place that she hated in the beginning of the story, to bring her to Florida and Bella has to choose. Her mother is astounded that she now wants to stay in a town with no sun. Bella knows that Edward would not be able to live in Florida and so she decides to stay in Forks. The two know that in order to stay together they must do the unthinkable.
Comments: This book was an excellent read. I was quite surprised that it kept me reading. I have never been a fan of books of fantasy but Meyers has a way of bringing in everyday life into a fantasy world. This book is one that makes someone believe that there may actually be vampires living amongst us. High School students would enjoy the way that Meyers weaves in suspense and romance into one story.
