I’d never given much thought to how I would die---thought I’d had reason enough in the last few months---but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me. Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something. I knew that if I’d never gone to Forks, I wouldn’t be facing death now. But, terrified as I was, I couldn’t bring myself to regret the decision. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end. The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me. (p.1)
It all started when Bella Swan moved to the small town of Forks, WA. It was completely different from Phoenix-the rain, smaller school, friendly classmates, and of course Edward Cullen. Bella had never met anyone quite like Edward. He’s absolutely gorgeous with porcelain skin, dazzling eyes and she’s immediately drawn to him. But for some reason, Edward wants nothing to do with her. He even appears to be repulsed by Bella. Then unexplainable events start to occur. When an out of control vehicle is headed straight for Bella in the parking lot, Edward suddenly appears and saves her from being crushed. Then when Bella is on a girls’ afternoon shopping trip in a neighboring town, she becomes disoriented and stumbles into an unsafe situation, Edward again arrives out of nowhere to save her. How is it that appears when Bella is in trouble? Why does Edward pull away when Bella can feel the electricity, the undeniable connection between them? And what will happen when Bella learns that not only is she in love but in love with a vampire?
