Bella Swan has always been a
little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about
fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school.
When her mother remarried and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy
little town of Forks, Washington, she didn’t expect much of anything to change.
But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful
Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she’s ever met. He’s nothing
like anyone she’s ever met, period. He’s intelligent and witty, and he seems to
see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate
and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn’t like
the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car
with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he’s
immortal. That’s right - vampire. But he doesn’t have fangs - that’s just in the
movies. And he doesn’t drink human blood, though Edward and his family are
unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing
he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more
Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send
him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage
their unmanageable love. But when unexpected visitors come to town and realize
that there is a human among them Edward must fight to save Bella? A modern,
visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love
affair - between vampire and mortal |
