Book Review

Twilight, by Stephanie Meyers.

When Bella moves across country from sunny Phoenix to a small wet town in Washington state, she can't help but be mesmerized by the strange pale boy, Edward Cullen and his family. The Cullens are all adopted, but share the same pale, yet exquisite good looks. Bella wonders how a group of unrelated people could all be so beautiful and so different. The Cullens socialize only with each other. Imagine Bella's surprise when she finds Edward is assigned the seat next to hers in science class. And what's with his behavior, sometimes tense and angry, and at others, inexplicably polite. Little does Bella know, that Edward is very taken with her, but is afraid to cement their relationship because of his family secret... the Cullens are all vampires! Can Edward manage to be with Bella and yet keep her safe? The answer awaits you in Twilight.
