Twilight -- Vote For Me!
Bella leaves sunny Phoenix to live in gloomy Washington and is drawn to fellow student Edward, a distractingly handsome but aloof and angry boy. Bella falls dangerously in love – a danger magnified by Edward’s secret life as a vampire.
The gloomy setting, the romantic tension and pervading sense of danger combine to make this modern gothic thriller. This one garnered a lot positive comments on the committee.
