Twilight
by Stephenie Meyer
There are three things that Isabella knows.
1. Edward is a vampire
2. There's a part of him—how big a part, she isn't sure—that truly thirsts for her blood
3. She is unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
Of course, Isabella never planned on falling in love with a vampire. It's not the kind of thing you put in your day-planner. Tuesday, 4pm, fall in love with blood-sucking undead monster. Nope.
Imagine going to your boyfriend's house for dinner to meet his parents knowing that under other circumstances you could be the main course.
Isabella knows that loving Edward is dangerous. She knows it's possible that she may be putting her family—everyone else she cares about—at risk, but she also knows that she can trust Edwards. He'd never do anything to hurt her.
