Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Following a discussion with a friend a week ago I revealed I had read little to no books about Vampires and such like, and was subsequently presented with the complete Twilight series to read! Yikes...these on top of the bulging box of books...I'm obviously a book magnet to those who know me!!


Despite my towering pile of books I thought I owed it to my friend to read these first on a promise of an early return of them.


Slightly sceptical I delved into the first page and came out gasping at the final page only to grab the next in the series New Moon and carrying on.....which is to follow this review as i finished it just ten minutes ago!!


After moving to the rainy, dull town of Forks, Bella Swan begins a new school only to meet the alluring and mysterious Edward Cullen and his family. Intrigued from the off she entwines herself deeper and deeper into their life finally revealing their dangerous secret. They are a family of Vampires. One drop of her fragrant blood could send any one of them into a frenzy to kill her. Still the bold and fearless Bella doesn't seem to mind and falls hopelessly in love with Edward.


A twisted love story and a must for anyone who thinks of Count Dracula when they think of Vampires. Give it a chance, I was pleasantly surprised....bring on the next one!!


9/10
