New Moon (The Twilight Saga, 2)

In this irresistible continuation of the New York Times bestselling Twilight Saga, a heartbroken and reckless Bella clings to the support of Jacob, while new threats of danger and vengeance test her and Edwards's romance--and chances of survival.

For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella could ever have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning.

Bella and Edward face a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy's reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi.

Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampiric love story has reached literary immortality.

"New Moon will more than feed the bloodthirsty hankerings of fans of the first volume and leave them breathless for the third" (School Library Journal)

Probably the least worst one in the series because Edward is barely in it. I thought Bella's depression was well-written and realistic given that she had just lost her greatest addiction and the ultimate alpha male and the opportunity to become a vampire herself.

Bella is much, much more annoying in this story and I always feel so bad for Jacob in this book (but maybe not in the books to follow).

I like it better when Jacob was a sweet, adorable, and just her best friend who has a crush on Bella. THen his temper got to him, because of THE CHANGE and he goes all wolfied out. Not only that, she has to deal with her depression and work out his mystery because Sam won't "allow" Jake to tell her. Luckily, he already told her about the myths and she figured it all out. Now she is in the cross fire btwn the blood suckers and hte dogs. On top of all else, Victoria is back. With a vengence. SHe's out for Edward's mate... a mate for a mate.

THen they leave you off with not capturing Vicki and the dogs and the blood suckers are at a stand still. Cooperate people!!! Play nice in the sand box!

Until the next book...
