Meyer, Stephanie, 1973—
Twilight : a novel / by Stephanie Meyer. — 1st ed.
Summary: Grade 9 Up–Headstrong, sun-loving, 17-year-old Bella declines her mom's
invitation to move to Florida, and instead reluctantly opts to move to her dad's
cabin in
the dreary, rainy town of Forks, WA. She becomes intrigued with Edward Cullen, a
distant,
stylish, and disarmingly handsome senior, who is also a vampire. When he reveals
that his
specific clan hunts wildlife instead of humans, Bella deduces that she is safe
from his
blood-sucking instincts and therefore free to fall hopelessly in love with him.
The
feeling is mutual, and the resulting volatile romance smolders as they attempt
to hide
Edward's identity from her family and the rest of the school. Meyer adds an
eerie new
twist to the mismatched, star-crossed lovers theme: predator falls for prey,
human falls
for vampire. This tension strips away any pretense readers may have about the
everyday
teen romance novel, and kissing, touching, and talking take on an entirely new
meaning
when one small mistake could be life-threatening. Bella and Edward's struggle to
make
their relationship work becomes a struggle for survival, especially when
vampires from an
outside clan infiltrate the Cullen territory and head straight for her. As a
result, the
novel's danger-factor skyrockets as the excitement of secret love and hushed
affection
morphs into a terrifying race to stay alive. Realistic, subtle, succinct, and
easy to
follow, Twilight will have readers dying to sink their teeth into it.

For my big sister, Emily,
without whose enthusiasm this story might still be unfinished.
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die.
Genesis 2:17
PREFACE
I'd never given much thought to how I would die — though I'd had reason
enough in the last few months — but even if I had, I would not have
imagined it like this.
I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of
the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me.
Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I
loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.
I knew that if I'd never gone to Forks, I wouldn't be facing death now.
But, terrified as I was, I couldn't bring myself to regret the decision.
When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's
not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.
