Here we meet the bright, chaste, passionate heroine Bella and the dark, mysterious and certainly dangerous hero Edward, son of a vampire family that has sworn off human blood but still struggles with the temptation. He has a way of appearing when she's in danger, scooping her into his unnaturally strong arms and carrying her to safety. Suffice it to say, it's like nothing I've read since...

That loss was credited mostly to the 27 years he spent...

But at the same time is it possible to let someone go without what ought to be a basic human right? And how can we ever act without the foresight of knowing the consequences of our actions? As of now, I have no idea—but I am hoping that my experience here will offer a bit of insight and that I’ll figure...
