Forget any vampire romance you have read before, Twilight is so unique it is almost like it’s in its own genre. Twilight is the story of Edward and Bella’s romance. A torment because although he has sworn off human blood and only hunts animals the craving for human blood never truly leaves him and the very scent of her also stirs his hunger for blood….
A delight because she is the first person he has loved since he was made a vampire. For Edward his love for Bella is both a delight and a torment. Edward himself was made a vampire when he was seventeen years-old, although that was at the end of World War I.

On a trip to the beach, Bella is told of the local legend about the “cold ones”, a group of blood drinkers who have sworn off hunting humans but are still not welcome on Indian land because vampires are not to be trusted. Even as Bella falls hopelessly and irrevocably in love with Edward, she still can’t work out exactly what makes him so different to everyone else. Although Edward and his family have lived in Forks for two years they have never really been accepted by the townsfolk.Īt first Edward is aloof, sometimes it almost seems like he can’t stand to be in the same room as her, but eventually they strike up an unlikely friendship. Edward is stunningly attractive, almost inhumanly beautiful, and yet he is an outsider too. If living in Forks, with its constant mist and rain, wasn’t bad enough she will have to make a whole new set of friends and settle into a new school.īella soon makes some new friends at school but when she sees a boy called Edward Cullen sitting with his brothers and sisters in the cafeteria she is instantly intrigued. After all she has made excuses not to go there enough times over the past few years.
