“I’d never given much thought to how I would die- though I’d had reason enough in the last few months- but even if I had, I would have never imagined in like this.”

In the style of Shakespearian star crossed romances and Anne Rice’s thrilling vampire chronicles, Twilight by Stephanie Meyer takes flight and sweeps its readers up off their feet.
