Goodreads Summary: Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife-between desire and danger.Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.Author: Stephenie Meyer

Where The Book Left Off
After her accident (in which James almost killed her and she almost turned into a vampire), Bella decides she wants to stay in Forks with her father, resulting in upsetting her mother for a short amount of time. Fast forward a few months and Edward surprises Bella by taking her to prom. At the prom, Jacob comes to pass on his father's message to "beware of Edward" (he was bribed with car parts). Edward and Bella dance outside, and he asks her what she thought they were going to be doing that night. Embarrassed, Bella admits to her assumption that'd she be changed into a vampire. Edward gets upset, but then teases her by kissing her neck and asking "Did you really think I'd give in that easily?" The book then ends with Bella and Edward looking out at twilight, and the question: Did he turn her or not?
