The plot is bogus. Four hundred pages of ill-conceived romance and then a quick 100 pages of worse-conceived conflict wherein a bad vampire takes a liking to Bella, too, and wants to eat her, so she proceeds to be cradled and protected by Eddikens and Family until she pulls a dumb a** stunt and almost dies but doesn't because that would be sad. The romance, to put it frankly, is a little disturbing in how it borders on the obsessive, especially on Bella's side. He spends days questioning her about every little thing she likes and dislikes (which is a TOTAL female fantasy that will never happen whether the boy is undead or alive). She asks him about being a vampire. And the rest is all surface-based. Because he's just so, so, so beautiful! I have a feeling that if they just had a shag, the infatuation would be O-V-E-R.
