Fall in love with the addictive, suspenseful love story between a teenage girl and a vampire with the book that sparked a "literary phenomenon" and redefined romance for a generation (New York Times).
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.
It's here! #1 bestselling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with the highly anticipated companion, Midnight Sun the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told from the vampire's point of view.

This was one of those great YA novels that’s tame enough to be appropriate for the YA audience but mature enough to appeal to adult readers. I really liked this and found it unique, even for a vampire story. After all, with all the vampire sagas and series out there, how many of the vampires can be out in the daytime? I believed in Bella’s maturity and in her love with Edward, because no one falls in love faster than a pair of teenagers (even if one is really over 100 years old). I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
