Twilight

Bella Swan moves to Forks to live with her father and she attends the local high school but unknown to the town, a vampire family lives there. Bella is drawn to this unusual family and boy named Edward who she finds out through a series of events is a vampire. Bella and Edward begin to date and discover there are limits to their love when Edward begins to bring her around his family and attends their baseball game. At the baseball game, three rogue vampires hear the game, want to play, and James smells her and wants her blood. The family tries to hide her and in a whirlwind of events she ends up in her hometown in Arizona where she is enticed to go to James alone after he compels her to believe that she is saving Edward. After she is bitten , Edward and the family save her from her ultimate demise.

Dialogue is very strong in this story because one of the best parts of the story is when Edward and Bella declare their love for each other without saying the words I love you.
This book has a lot of understatement because it is a teen story and the reader is left to let their imagination take them as far as their knowledge and inferring allows.
