Publisher's summary

About three things I was certain.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him, and I didn't know how dominant that part might be, that thirsted for my blood.

And Third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife, between desire and danger.

Deeply sensuous and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.

Love Ilyana Kadushin!

I love the story and I really enjoy hearing Ilyana kadushin narrate it. I look forward to all the books in the series, with the last being arguably the best one. I never get sick of listening to them over and over again.

The Story Everyone Loves to Hate

Twilight is one of those books that people love to hate and most are embarrassed to say they enjoyed. However, I will admit that I truly enjoy this story. I prefer another of her stories, but this one grows on you as you keep reading. While I do find the character of Bella a little irritating sometimes, the story overall is a good one. The characters are actually fairly well rounded and I think that she keeps each of them true to their characters.
Ilyana Kadushin was a great narrator. She pulls you into the story and keeps you listening. I will say it was weird to hear Edward or Emmett with a woman's voice, but she does the best that she can. I truly enjoyed her reading of this story.

Happily surprised

This series came out what, 7 or 8 years ago and I refused to read them or watch the movies. Fast forward those 7-8 years and I started listening to Twilight less than 10 days ago and I'm finished. I couldn't stop listening and now I'm hooked. Can't wait to start the 2nd one. Once I'm done listening to them all, I'll watch the movies. The storyline and characters just sucked me in (no pun intended).

Not my favorite reader

The reader used weird, emotionless voices for most of the story. Kristen Stewart had more emotion in the films.

Loved It

Would you consider the audio edition of Twilight to be better than the print version?

Havent read the print version...

What was one of the most memorable moments of Twilight?

probably the scene in the hospital, in phoenix

What does Ilyana Kadushin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

her voice makes Bella more real: naive, young, and in way over her head haha

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

it made me happy!

Love this series

Really love the Twilight saga. Love Stephenie Meyers new take on vampires. Felt like Kadushin could've given a little more enthusiasm though. But still I enjoyed it.

Give it a chance

I wasn’t going to listen to it because of the excerpt of the reader however it is actually pretty good. I have read the books several times so the story wasn’t an issue. The only thing is sometimes it’s hard to tell which character is which because the voice does not change enough.
