Life and Death (Booktober)


"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb ..."





If you don't see at least ONE pass of foggy Forks, Washington during the autumn months, then you probably are living under a rock. Twilight hit the shelves waaay back when and became an instant hit - and a decade later Stephenie Meyer decided to switch things up a little, which is how Beau and Edythe came along. Not without its challenges, this book does continue the trend of murky views, pale, sparkly vampires, and teenagers intent on living forever, but it's a completely stand-alone novel (that COULD still be expanded into sequels, however).

And for some reason, I kind of prefer this version to the original.
 


When Beaufort Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edythe Cullen, his life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With her porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice and supernatural gifts, Edythe is both irresistible and enigmatic. 

What Beau doesn't realize is the closer he gets to her, the more he is putting himself and those around him at risk. And it might be too late to turn back ...
