Worth Reading: Yes, I think so

Summary: A Vampire tale with a twist from Stephenie Meyer.

Bella has returned to Forks, this time to live. Her first days at her new school are bland until she spies the Cullens. The Cullens stay apart from the other students, always seeming aloof and uninterested. She shares a class with Edward Cullen and his reaction to her is extraordinary. Extraordinary in that it seems to Bella that Edward cannot stand being anywhere near her. How wrong she is.

This is not a standard Vampire tale, there is no blood-letting and killing which is what I was expecting. The group of vampires in this tale have sworn not to hunt humans, even though the temptation is still there.

This story is the romance between two people, one human and one vampire. It is in danger of falling into the gushy teenage romance genre, but if you can look past this, it is a rather good read and ends up being quite good even without the standard vampire type blood-sucking we probably expect from such characters.
