Twilight

The Cullens split up Bella and Edward to try to confuse James. Bella is sent to hide in a hotel in Phoenix with Alice and Jasper. James calls Bella while she’s at the hotel and claims he has her mom captive and unless Bella meets him in her old dance studio alone, he’ll kill her mom. Bella, trying to protect everyone else, goes to the studio to meet James. James attacks her, but the Cullens show up and rescue Bella and kill James. However, James bit Bella’s hand and if the venom spreads, she’ll transform into a vampire so Edward sucks the venom out.

When Bella finally returns home to Forks, she and Edward go to their school prom together. Bella tells Edward her desire to give up her human life to become a vampire with him so they can be together forever. Edward refuses because he believes her human life is too valuable to give up and promises that he’ll stay with her till the end.

I loved this book. I got really into it and it’s definitely one of the best stories I’ve ever read. I wish I had an Edward.

Twilight

Bella goes crazy trying to figure out how Edward saved her life and pesters him with endless questions that Edward refuses to answer. Bella gets Jacob Black, a family friend who has a crush on her, to tell her the local legend about the “cold ones”, a group of blood drinkers who have sworn off hunting humans. She realizes that this legend is about Edward’s family; they’re vampires. The fact that Edward’s a vampire doesn’t change her feelings for him. She says “About three things I was almost positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him – and I didn’t know how dominant that part might be – that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.”

Edward and Bella fall in love. The relationship is hard for Edward because although he loves Bella, he does crave her blood more than anyone else’s, so he’s always fearful of harming her. Edward also has a special gift of reading minds. However, he can’t read Bella’s mind which is interesting. Bella must be special.

When another vampire coven comes into Forks, trouble starts. They want to join the Cullens in a baseball game but as soon as they realize that Bella is human it turns into another kind of game for James, a tracker vampire. He is drawn by the Cullens' relationship with a human and wants to hunt Bella for fun.

Twilight

Twilight is a young-adult vampire romance novel. It is the first book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. Every girl enjoys a love story and this is the favorite of many girls my age; they love getting caught up in the romance of this fairytale story. This book pulled me in right from the start, I couldn't put it down. This book starts off about seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan, who moves from the sunny Phoenix, Arizona to the rainy, gloomy Forks, Washington. She goes to Forks to live with her dad, so she wouldn't have to travel with her mom and her new husband, Phil Dwyer, but she doesn't expect to like it there.


Bella, who's shy and doesn't like being the center of attention, is the new hit at her new high school. Everyone wants to be her friend and boys try to show off to her, especially this one boy, Mike. On her first day she meets the gorgeous, dreamy Edward Cullen, who acts disgusted with her and this offends Bella who makes the comment, "if looks could kill". She was convinced he really didn't like her. Edward goes missing for a few days and when he comes back he is really friendly to Bella as if nothing happened. Maybe he's bipolar?

Then, one day, Bella is nearly run over by one of her classmates in the parking lot but Edward, standing on the opposite side of the parking lot, instantaneously appears next to her and stops the van with his bare hands and saves her life.
