I think Ward did a fantastic job of capturing the complicated zeitgeist in America, post-9/11. This is a vampire book that plays directly into the sort of fears raised by the terrorist attack: the ‘good’ vampires fight ‘bad’ vampires, who merge into the general population and can’t be detected (except by the smell of baby powder, hardly an infallible attribute).

Twilight (Twilight, #1)

Stephenie Meyer

5.0

holding me against him....
It felt like every nerve ending in my body was a live wire.
"Forever," he agreed.
