Twilight
Stephanie Meyer

Searching for your next fantasy fix after reading the last of the Harry Potter books? Seems author Stephanie Meyer just might have found the cure with her new series, Twilight. This romance story is truly becoming more and more popular. The heroine, Bella, has moved from Arizona to Washington state to live with her father, Charlie. In classic style, she is immediately shown lots of attention by the local boys, but desires none of them. Instead, she is drawn to Edward, the guy sitting next to her in class and the one dude who seems repulsed by her. Edward has a dirty little secret, however. He's a vampire. Bella's attraction becomes strongre, even when she learns his secret, and ultimately, they fall in love. This is the story of love and the unique struggles that come with it. Readers are drawn into this fantasy world of forbidden love because Edward and Bella are the new Romeo and Juliet. Stephenie Meyer is so creative with it, and there is never a dull moment. The interaction between Bella and Edward is so electric, it jumps off the page In either case, Twilight is a young adult book and is very clean. There is no swearing and no sex whatsoever but it is about vampires, blood desire, and topics more appropriate for older kids so I'd say this one is for the over 16 crowd. Basically, Twilight is highly recommended.
