Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

A group of teens are trapped in an old motel with a murderer in this chilling YA mystery by New York Times bestselling author April Henry.

Nell has always wanted to be an actor, but she doubts her ability. As a member of her school's theater program, she prefers working backstage. On the way to a contest, an unexpected blizzard strands her acting troupe in a creepy motel. Soon they meet a group of strangers from another high school--including the mysterious and handsome Knox, who insists they play the game Two Truths and a Lie. When it's Nell's turn, she draws a slip of paper written in unfamiliar handwriting:

I like to watch people die.
I've lost count of how many people I've killed.

Suddenly a night of harmless fun turns into a matter of life and death. As guests go missing, it becomes clear that a murderer is hiding in their midst ready to strike again. In a room full of liars and performers, the truth is never quite what it seems. Nell is going to have to act like her life depends on it--because it does.

Easy read from start to finish. The book takes you along a path of how two people who should not be together are unable to stay apart do to their overall attraction to each other, despite one being a vampire.

Rereading it 14 years later made me realize I’ll never grow up, I still love this book like I did back then!

upršané počasie made me do it. dosť si užívam revisiting teenage me, aj keď s odstupom rokov len strhávam hviezdičky (čo už, a možno aj to, že som práve doma mala len slovenský preklad, a nie anglický originál, ktorý sa mi teda zdá o čosi lepší)

Definitely better than what I thought it was going to be and better than the movie. I still have my issues with it personally, but I don’t have the energy to write all of that right now. Give it a chance though, maybe you’ll like it.
