| Seventeen-year-old Isabella Swan leaves her newly married mother in Phoenix to live with her father Charlie, the police chief of Forks, Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula; a four-hour flight to a place she has never visited, but life starts anew for her. Her first day at Forks High School leaves her nervous, as there were three hundred fifty-seven students yesterday who knew each other. Today there is one more pupil whom nobody knows; Bella knows no one.
On that first day in potential purgatory, Bella meets the enigmatic Edward Cullen. She is very attracted to him, but he acts schizoid towards her. One moment he seems to want her; the next he loathes her. She also acts out of character as she spits out her life to this stranger. However, she begins to unravel the mystery of the teen she desires who at times acts as obsessed with her as she is with him. Although she does not fully believe what she has found out, Bella realizes Edward and his adoptive family are vampires, whose sustenance comes from animals. Other vampiric clans are not as regimented; as they feel that vampires are superior and should dine on inferior beasts, including humans; Bella is fair game. This is an exciting young adult romantic fantasy starring two teens besotted with one another in a taboo love. The story line is driven by the lead couple; as their attraction causes problems for each of them and their families, especially when outsiders intervene. Although the climax is rushed and too much of what occurrs is passively explained instead of actively happening, readers will enjoy forbidden teen love between a purebred human and a purebred vampire. | |||
