Annotation: Bella Swan knows there is something dangerous about Edward, but she can't stop herself from loving him, even if it means he won't be able to keep himself from drinking her blood. Twilight is a perfect teen romance novel, with just the right amount of fantasy and fear mixed in.
Booktalk Technique: "Wrap Back to the Title"
"There are three things that Bella knows.
1. Edward is a vampire
2. There's a part of him—how big a part, she isn't sure—that truly thirsts for her blood
3. She is unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."
Bella is clumsy and awkward. Edward is perfect, but dangerous. Together they are magnetic and cannot be torn apart. Bella knows that being in love with a vampire is dangerous. She worries that she could die and wonders if she even wants to (at least mortally). She fears that she is putting everyone she knows at risk, but what Isabella doesn't realize is that Edward and his family aren't the only vampires in town and nothing will ever be the same after Twilight?
Watch the film version of the book.
If you like Twilight, read the rest of the series. New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn are available in paperback at bookstores.
