Twilight

Meyer, Stephanie (2005). Twilight. New York, NY: Little, Brown and Company.

The book opens with Bella Swan moving to live with her dad in a small (and very rain) town named Forks in Washington. It has been years since she has been with her dad, but has decided to make the move because her mom will be busy traveling with her new baseball player husband. As acqward as it could be moving to a new high school, Bella is greeted and welcomed by all. She is especially intrigued by a boy, Edward Cullen, who seems very standoffish towards her. This makes her even more interested in him. As the plot progresses and unfolds, Bella learns that Edward and his family are actually vampires although they do not hurt humans. Bella falls deeply in love with Edward and it doesn't matter what comes her way, she wants to be with him. When a group of visting vampires comes into town and they attempt to attack Bella, Edward and his family come to her rescue hoping she will not remember the attack. 

The author definitely does a great job using dialogue to allow the reader to feel how deeply Bella and Edward care for each other. The book opens with beautiful language with the following: "I'd never given much thought to how I would die-- though I'd had reason enough in the last few months-- but if I had, I would not have imagined it like this."
