A note for parents
Twilight is a vampire romance aimed at young adult readers that centers on an intense, emotionally dependent relationship between a teenage girl and an immortal vampire. While there are some action sequences and supernatural danger, graphic content is minimal; the story dwells instead on longing, jealousy, and the heroine's fixation on her love interest. Themes of obsession and an unequal power dynamic complicate the romantic messaging, though the book does reward loyalty and self-sacrifice.

Fall in love with the addictive, suspenseful love story between a teenage girl and a vampire that redefined romance for a generation, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephenie Meyer. 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, Bella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. So far, 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.
