#booktalk

Bella Swan is an ordinary teenage girl, with an extraordinary scent.  After moving to live with her divorced dad in Forks, Washington, her scent is what initially attracts the ardent devotion of a fellow student, Edward Cullen.  But Edward is not just a high school student, he is a vampire. Edward’s beauty and abilities are frighteningly appealing to Bella.  Edward lives with a group of vegetarian vampires, so Bella is safe from his bite.  Or is she?  Just how safe is it to fall in love with a creature at war with a global vampire coven and a local werewolf tribe?  And what does love mean when you’re not human?
