'Love makes liars of us all.' Queen of Seelie Court, City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare *** Bella Swan has lead the perfect life. Perfect parents, perfect boyfriend, perfect job. When heading home from a friend's house late one night, Bella is attacked by a group of men, and left to die in the streets. After being found by Carlisle Cullen, the town doctor, and saved, Bella has a hard time trusting men; even her boyfriend. Eventually, she decides to move away from small-town Forks and pursue a new life in the city of Seattle. When she meets the morose, brooding, but kind-hearted Edward Cullen, the son of her rescuer and doctor, Bella finds herself beginning to realise that not all men remind her of her past. But she still has a boyfriend, and he's not going to let her go without a fight. *** Warning! Mature themes, including references to sexual assault and non-explicit sexual scenes.
