When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, an iconic love story was born. But until now, fans have heard only Bella's side of the story. At last, readers can experience Edward's version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun.

This unforgettable tale as told through Edward's eyes takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire. As we learn more fascinating details about Edward's past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. How can he justify following his heart if it means leading Bella into danger?

Midnight Sun is the fifth book in the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. This book gives you Twilight through the eyes of Edward. Let me tell you why this has been a much needed thing in my life. First of all, you get everything Edward is thinking. Now knowing his side of things, I completely get why New Moon happened. This guy was a flight risk from day one. In fact, I'm super surprised he didn't take off after the whole Arizona incident. What's better than Edward's thoughts though, are the thoughts of everyone around him. You really get to know them all. What is Mike really thinking behind that smile? Do you really want to know? Which of the Cullen's were okay with Bella's death? Some answers we knew. Some we didn't. But, this gives you full insight to everything. I didn't know I was missing anything before, but I understand the characters so much better now. Midnight Sun is completely necessary for all Twilight Fans.
