C.Schmidt. Mrs.Brown. Twilight

TwilightMeyer,Stephanie.Twilight. New York: Little Brown and Company 2005

Bella Swan risks her life everyday to be with the person she loves; knowing that at any moment if he is not strong enough he could kill her with just one bite. Bella Swan moved to Forks, Washington during her junior year, where she met Edward Cullen, the love of her life. Edward is a vampire who constantly thirsts for Bella’s blood. He can try to satiate the thirst by killing animals instead of humans, but will it become too much for him to handle? Not only does Bella have to worry just about Edward wanting her blood, but what will happen when she meets the family? The setting in Forks, Washington is very important because it is covered in forests. The forests are a prime spot for vampires to hunt. The setting adds to the adrenalin filled novel. Follow Edward and Bella on this ominous journey, to see if he can continue coming to her rescue. The omnipresent fear that Edward may kill Bella at any moment keeps the reader engaged. This unique relationship between a human and a vampire is like nothing you have ever read before. It has a little of everything for any audience to enjoy. For the girls it has the romance between Edward and Bella. For the boys it has action and suspense. This is one novel you will not be able to put down.

This review is really good and even though I'm not too into vampires I feel like this is a book I could get into. I have heard many reviews about Twilight and I saw the movie and really liked it.
