In the dead silence, all the details suddenly fell into place for me with a burst of intuition. Something Edward didn't want me to know. Something that Jacob wouldn't have kept from me. It was never going to end, was it?

New Moon

Author: Stephanie Meyer

ISBN: 9780316024969




Back Cover text


I knew we were both in mortal danger,

Still, in that instant, I felt well. Whole.

I could feel my heart racing in my chest,
the blood pulsing hot and fast through my veins again.

My lungs filled deep with the sweet scent that came off his skin.

It was like there had never been any hole in my chest.

I was perfect, not healed, but as if there had never been a wound in the first place.

Twilight

Title: Twilight
Author: Stephanie Meyer

Publisher: Hachette Book Group

ISBN: 9780316015844




Back Cover text
About three things I was absolutely positive.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him and I didn't know how dominant that part might be, that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
