Seventeen-year-old Bella leaves Phoenix (and her mother) to go live her father in an isolated town in Washington. Once there she becomes interested in Edward and his family. Something is different about them. After she falls madly in love with Edward she gradually finds out that he and his "family" are all vampires. He wants to stay away from her because of the problems...but he falls head-over-heels for her. This is a passionate love story between a human and a vampire. It is a much more heart-pounding love story than Klaus' "Silver Kiss." There is nothing physical about their relationship and there is not the gore of other vampire books.. although there is a big fight at the end. This 498 page book is a love story between a human and vampire, not a vampire. The book will be gobbled up by your thinking vampire readers.. not one's looking for gore. It is a complete book but there is a sequel, "New Moon."
