Recently released was Breaking Dawn, the fourth and last book on the gripping love story of Edward, a vampire, and Bella, a mortal. It all started with Twilight, the first book of the series, released in 2005. Isabella “Bella” Swan is the new girl in the town of Forks, Washington, coming from Phoenix, Arizona, to live with her father. She is quickly befriended by students in her new school and becomes the object of affection of a lot of her male schoolmates. Except for Edward.

Edward Cullen sat beside her in biology class and becomes repulsed at the sight of her and tried to stay as far away from her as possible. This confuses Bella as she has done nothing to explain his behavior. Bella soon finds out that Edward is a vampire, a vampire in love with her. Their story becomes the ultimate story of forbidden love between a vampire and a mortal.

In the next book in the series, New Moon, Edward goes into hiding to protect Bella from other vampires. He believes that this will keep her safe, not knowing that an old family friend that Bella spent a lot of time with is actually a werewolf. Problems arise when Edward’s sister gets a vision that Bella is dead. Fearing the worst, Edward seeks the help of a band of peace-keeping vampires who tell him to kill Bella because of everything she knows.

In the third book, Eclipse, Bella realizes she is in love with both Edward, the vampire, and Jacob, the werewolf. How will she decide? Who will she choose?

And in the concluding book, Breaking Dawn, Bella must decide once and for all, if she will continue to live life as a mortal or part of the undead world.

This vampire love story series has captivated the attention of the world and has spawned a movie to be released worldwide this December 2008.
