About three things I was absolutely positive of:

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him- and i didn’t know how dominant that part might be- that thirsted for my blood.

And third; I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

Ok! So I know I”m a little “behind the times” on this, but I’ve never really been up on the latest trends.   It took the movie, my sister, my aunt AND my 15 year old son all loving the book and telling me I needed to read it, to finally get me to read the book.  Not even a week later I’ve finished reading New Moon and I’m onto the third, Eclipse.

I’ve always been a fan of vampire novels.  I’ve even written a couple of vampire short stories.  But I’ve never really been interested in the “teeny” novels, even as a teenager.  However, this saga is an exception to the rule.  I absolutely loved this book!  It had adventure, romance (but not too much, just enough to get the heart a fluttering), and vampires.   The characters were strong and I was able to identify with Bella wonderfully… actually she reminded me of myself as a teenager.  Edward was a fantastic vampire as well, definitely worth any teen girls heart.

I would recommend this book for any vampire lover of any age.  Not too much adult situations or language, so it’s good even for the younger crowd.  I can’t wait to see the movie… yes I know I”m behind on that one too, it should be in my mailbox any day now!
