The Twilight series is an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer.  The story plot is based on a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him.  The series burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.
