Twilight is a young adult vampire-romance novel written by author Stephenie Meyer. It was originally published in hardcover in 2005.

The novel is followed by New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.

SUMMARY

At the beginning of Twilight, Isabella (Bella) Swan has just moved from Phoenix to the cloudy town of Forks, Washington to live with her police-chief dad, Charlie. Bella can't help but notice a striking group of students sitting together at school. And though Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett, along with their adoptive parents Carlisle and Esme, are intimidatingly beautiful, Edward Cullen's hate-filled reaction to Bella is downright frightening to her.
That's why it's surprising when he saves her life — twice — in two mysterious incidents that showcase his oddly superhuman abilities. Eventually, Bella discovers three things that will change her life: first, that gorgeous Edward and his family are vampires, second, that Edward's reaction to her blood's smell and taste is particularly strong (the reason he had avoided her at first), and third, that in spite of these obstacles, they seem destined for each other.
Bella begins to adjust to the strangeness of dating a vampire — from Edward's mind-reading to the way his skin glitters in the sun to the hunting trips the Cullens must make to avoid drinking human blood. But soo
n, trouble arrives when a new trio of immortals arrives in Forks. Vampires James, Laurent, and Victoria seem peaceful enough at first, but Edward sees that James is obsessed with hunting and torturing human prey, and that Bella is his ultimate target. Bella, Jasper, and Alice escape to Phoenix, but James follows. He blackmails Bella into meeting him and nearly kills her before Edward appears in the nick of time and kills him instead. Still, Bella has a lot of healing to do and plenty of time to think about something Alice told her: that with one bite, it's possible for her to become a vampire, too.
