Twilight
When Bella Swann's mother remarries, the ordinary American teenage girl moves to the perpetually rainy town of Forks, Washington, to live with her father. Here she meets Edward, a eccentric but irresistible boy from a powerful local family. She quickly falls madly in love with him. When she learns that Edward and his family belong to an ancient house of vampires, her romantic feelings for Edward outweigh her initial fear. However, even though his family long ago swore off human blood in favour of animals', Edward struggles with his identity and he holds concerns for Bella's life, as the temptation for human blood always linger just below the family's normal facade.

This series should be read in order.
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 romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
