I love this book, as most people guessed, it carrys on from twilight and each book explains a bit more of each character.
however they do get darker as the series goes on & a bit more gruesome in parts,
but the detail is brilliant, when we go to Italy in the book, you can picture the dark castle and the villages surrounding it,
and it you look at her website the pictures where they are filming are exactly as you imagine.

twilight the film has now come out on dvd, and new moon is being filmed now, with eclipse to follow,
the films are different from the books, but i don't think you could be disappointed.
All in all its a love story, but not just your average love story, a story that sees werewolves and vampires fighting till the end over the laws of time and for those they love!!

read and enjoy, I'm sure you'll get as hooked as i am.
