Powells.com Staff Pick
Moving to a small, dreary town is enough to cause angst in any teen, but for Isabella Swan, angst is only the beginning. Soon she's falling in love with Edward, the quintessential dark, handsome guy, who just happens to be a vampire. This is the perfect pleasure read for the dusky days of fall. This series (the sequel is New Moon) will give you goose bumps.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife — between desire and danger.
Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
Review:
"[T]he portrayal of dangerous lovers hits the spot; fans of dark romance will find it hard to resist." Kirkus Reviews
Review:
"Meyer's description of the lovers' emotions is palpable, and readers will be drawn into the couple's spiraling dance, feeling the intense longing that comes from being a hair's breadth away from the thing you want most in the world." KLIATT
Review:
"Realistic, subtle, succinct, and easy to follow, Twilight will have readers dying to sink their teeth into it." School Library Journal
Review:
"[T]his dark romance seeps into the soul." Booklist
Review:
"For older teens, this is a predictable love story laced with adventure and vampirism." Hornbook Guide to Children
Synopsis:
As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because... he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonises over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.

I had long resisted purchasing Twilight due to my aversion to "vampire stories" (obviously Anne Rice is not among my favorite authors). Its' YA classification was another element that made the prospect of reading this book less than appealing. How very wrong I was!
Stephanie Meyers has given her readers a multi-faceted, multi-layered book that most everyone can relate to. Through her female protagonist, Bella, she draws us back to our teens and the trepidation that filled us as we faced our first days at a new school, the all consuming fear of rejection by other students as we questioned our ability to make new friends, and the angst we felt as we experienced the confusing, bitter-sweet pangs of first love.
Set in the gloomy Pacific Northwest town of Forks, Washington the tale has, on one hand, a gothic, otherworldly feel to it while at the same time possessing a very "now" vibe.
The Cullens, a family of vampires that definitely belong on the pages of GQ or Elle magazine are, for the most part, more captivating and alluring than terrifying and loathsome . Bella's love is Edward Cullen, a chivalrous and loving Adonis who would make any girl long for a "vampire hickey" but who refuses to "turn" Bella because of his great love for her.
Accepting the fact that Twilight is fantasy (not much different than the Nancy Drew series of my youth ...... how many teen-ager girls do you know who are repeatedly called upon to provide the solution to a case that has the local police stymied), I tried not to be too analytical. I put aside the fact that although Edward appeared to be a 17 year old high school student, he had in reality been around since his "death" about 90 years earlier and would be old enough to be Bella's great grandfather. Who needs reality....I get enough of that in my daily life.
Suffice to say, this book has enough romance to satisfy the female readers of this saga (both young and old), enough action to keep young male readers enthralled and enough restraint being exercised by the devoted couple to win the approval of any parent.
No real spoilers in this review, only the hearty recommendation of a chagrined and once sceptical reader who is now a Stephanie Meyer convert.
