Award Winner
When 17-year-old Bella Swan moves from sunny Phoenix to overcast Forks, Washington to live with her father, her new school holds a singular focus for her attention. At a lunch table of beautiful people, Bella spies Edward Cullen, an indescribably gorgeous student, and falls desperately in love with him. His cool, hesitant behavior puzzles Bella-- until she discovers that Edward is a vampire. Her fears are assuaged when he explains that his family hunts and feeds strictly on animal prey. But Edward still thirsts for human blood, and he must keep his emotions and appetite under control or risk harming Bella. Their human-vampire relationship is taut with physical desire and the tension of concealing Edward's identity. The stakes are raised when another vampire clan moves into Forks with Bella in their sights. Edward struggles to protect Bella from the new vampires in town and his own explosive passion.
