Twilight- Stephanie Meyer


Today's extra special guest blog comes courtesy of AS. He/she has graciously agreed to tackle the cultural juggernaut that is the "Twilight" series. To me, vampires are bloodthirsty, soulless, monsters that want nothing more than to devour us, not sensitive souls who just want to find love. But hey, who am I to stand in the way of the zeitgeist? Enjoy.
-Sir Readsalot

Lions, tigers, and vampires? The first book, Twilight, in the hot new saga by Stephanie Meyer, features Edward, a mysterious vampire slowly falling in love with Bella, a normal human with an aversion to blood. Can this secret love work out? Can a vampire be with a mortal girl?
Primarily, Bella is clueless of Edward being a blood-sucking immortal, who would live forever unless killed. Soon, she fits together the puzzle and comes to the conclusion that Edward is a vampire.
Edward finds himself being drawn toward Bella and protecting her from the dangers of other vampires and even other humans. But being a vampire has made Edward and his siblings stop the ageing process. As Bella grows older she longs to stop maturing so she can be with Edward for eternity.
Throughout this book, there is suspense and romance, danger and anger. It is nearly unpredictable and every turn of a page could be Bella’s death.
