Blurb:

When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret.

What Bella doesn’t realize is the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And, it might be too late to turn back…

My thoughts:

This was a highly captivating and riveting read right from the start. I just couldn’t put this down. What appeared like a typical teenage read turned into a very compelling story that was filled with sweet romance and scary tension as things progressed and she was introduced to this dark world. I just adored Bella! I loved that she had a clumsy side which made her even more adoring. And Edward’s reactions to her clumsy side made me fall for him as well. You could just feel his love for her which was so sweet and romantic..I loved her reactions when the whole vampire thing was sinking in and he would talk about things he did like it was normal and just her reactions were just hilarious you could almost imagine the looks on her face. I very much found myself intrigued by the other vampires and the mysterious Jacob! I could put this in my top ten but I will wait until I get to the other 3 which look like they are even better!! Sometimes reading a young adult book like this is fun and refreshing.

Never knew what was once warm is now a cold place.
