I'm liking Luminosity! I'm even tempted to read Twilight to find out what's different.
Not a big criticism, but I have to say something regarding the passage where Bella hunts a wolf.
Some current animal populations in Washington State:
Far more ethical to hunt a human.
Bella hunts a wolf in Norway, not in Washington State.
I'm not as much concerned with Bella's ethics in a fictional world, as I am with correcting the impression many people in the real world have that predators are common. This wrong impression kills predators.
I met a hunter in New York State in the early 1990s, near Corning, who encountered the first wolf pack seen in the state in maybe 50 years, and immediately shot one of them, because "they kill too many deer". He wasn't making it up. He showed me a photo.
Which is still a problem.
