"my family would be upset. most of them, at least." so formal, she thought amusedly, resting her chin on her hand. "and then why are you?" lorraine asked rhetorically, grinning up to him. he gave her a rather charming smile in response, "i'm afraid i can't help myself, ma'am." OR IN WHICH...

Luna Marlowe is known for three things at Forks High: her unnerving brilliance, her refusal to shut up in the face of authority, and the time she brought a snake to the emergency room and told a surgeon to fix it. At seventeen, Luna is strange, sharp, and impossible to pin down - the kind of girl who quotes Sylvia Plath in math class and hides her grief beneath sarcasm and combat boots. After losing her sister, Luna stopped trying to fit into the world around her. She started noticing the cracks in it instead. The flickers in the mirror. The way time skips sometimes when certain people walk by. When she meets Dr. Carlisle Cullen - calm, impossibly kind, and far too composed for someone who looks barely older than her - she's drawn in, fast and dangerously. There's something not quite human about him. Something familiar. Like he's a question she's been asking her whole life. As Luna digs deeper, she uncovers secrets far older than Forks - about the Cullens, about herself, about her sisters fate. And the more she learns, the more impossible it becomes to pretend she's just a girl with a dead sister and a sharp tongue.

Everyone in Forks expected Bella Swan's arrival to be the big news-no one saw Aria coming. Aria Swan, Bella's younger half-sister, is a whirlwind of emotions, sarcasm, and spontaneous decisions. After being expelled from yet another school, she's sent to Forks to live with Charlie and start over. But Aria doesn't do "quiet," and she certainly doesn't do "normal." Then she meets Dr. Carlisle Cullen-calm, composed, and impossibly kind. He's everything she's not... and everything she can't stop thinking about. For Carlisle, Aria is like a fire he didn't know he'd been cold without-reckless, bright, and achingly human. As Aria stumbles deeper into the secrets of Forks and the supernatural world, her chaotic energy both disrupts and captivates the centuries-old vampire. But falling for her would mean risking everything he's built-including the safety of his family. In a town where danger is always one heartbeat away, can a love between a storm and a statue survive?
