Step aside Anne Rice, and move out of the way Ms. Austen, Stephenie Meyer has crafted a delicious fuse of horror and romance that embraces a new generation of readers with icy, loving arms. The first installment of a series which follows the tumultuous relationship between human and vampire, Twilight brings us the bookish and clumsy Bella Swan - nervous and unsuspecting of the life ahead in her new home of Forks, Washington. On her first day at a new school, Bella finds herself under the hypnotic and watchful eye of Edward Cullen, an extraordinarily beautiful senior whose eyes alone are home to a hundred years of secrets. As the two grow closer together, Bella begins to unravel the hidden mysteries of the Cullens, and learns that first love can be more than difficult... it can be deadly.
