 * Good sections to read aloud:**

Our main character in this book is Bella. Bella is a high school junior who has just moved in with her biological father in Washington state. She isn’t excited about starting school and making new friends, but knows this is the best move to help her mother out. Instantly she is a hit with the kids at school (especially boys!), but one certain ‘group’ catches her eye. In this group is Edward, a rather good looking mysterious boy. There is something about him that she can’t resist, and the sparks fly. Edward is very reserved about moving their relationship any farther than ‘just friends.’ As Bella pushes him, she discovers his secret...he is a vampire, along with his entire family. Edward knows his relationship with Bella is only going to put her at risk, but she refuses to go away, which could be the death of her! This is book number one in a four part series that you won’t be able to put down!
