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.

Not this one. I had underestimated the "romance" aspect of this storyline, and it really lightened the story.
Bella is the new girl in town. She's left sunny Phoenix for the dreary little town of Forks, Washington to stay temporarily with her father, whom she isn't very close to. But she's making the best of things for her mother. She does everything for her mother, even being the mother herself in the relationship. And now she is taking on being caretaker of her father Charlie while Mom runs off to Florida to get her life straight with her current husband.
It's not long before Bella finds herself in the midst of a group of friends, and obsessed with the outsiders that make up the Cullen family. Well, one Cullen in particular. Edward Cullen has an immediate and unexplainable attraction for Bella, and she is fascinated by him, even while she is furious with him. And he can make her furious. Their relationship is fraught with tension and volatility, but they are also immediately consumed with empathy and attraction for one another.
I don't know how much appeal this book holds for the true horror lover, but definitely appeals to the romantic nature of women. You wind up really rooting for Edward and Bella. Romantic, dreary, humorous, frightening, tense and dramatic-- this book has it all. I actually put my computer down to read it, which is something I rarely do and one of the reasons that it normally takes me weeks to finish a book. This one I got through in a few days.
This is one of my new favorites. I can't wait to dig into the second book and see the movie for them both!
