Edward’s soft voice came from behind me. I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, just like he had in the parking lot, and kissed me again. This kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine–like he was afraid we had only so much time left to us. As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob–knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

"This is, by far, the best of the Twilight books. An exciting plot, tons and tons of delicious backstory, and vampire vs. wolf greatness. We learn more about Jasper (my second-favorite character) and we can finally rid ourselves of pesky Victoria. I'm glad Meyer wrote this one so well, because after New Moon I was ready for some adventure and action that didn't involve Bella on a friggin' motorcycle."
— Zane (4 out of 5 stars)

— Benita, 2/10/2014" Nice book, not amazing, just nice. "
— Katy, 1/24/2014" AMAZING !!!!!! LOVE IT "
— Misty, 1/21/2014" This book was an improvement on the second, which honestly, was horrible for at least half the book. I thought this book was okay but it was also really slow and kind of pointless. Not a lot happened in this and I'm not sure if I even really liked it that much. It was decent, at least. "
— Chels, 1/21/2014" I think this one is my favorite so far..... "
— Felix, 1/20/2014" Mucha accion... pero no era lo que esperaba. Aun asi me gusto. "
— Eva, 1/18/2014" I love the series, so I had to read this one to put it all together. Not my favorite, to be honest. All the drama between the boys kind of got on my nerves. Bella gets on my nerves too with her disposition to always be a party-pooper and kind of a wet blanket. "
— Andrea, 1/12/2014" Only watched the movie but I want to buy and maybe read the book :) "
— Danyka, 1/11/2014" Brilliant - go away wolfboy Edward Cullen all the way, can wait for the wedding "

— Jessica, 8/27/2012" This book was WAY TOO MUCH of a good thing. Although I really enjoyed reading from Jacob's POV, I found this book dragged on too long. "
— Nan, 4/1/2012" Okay. Not very good but still good. It was a lot more fighting in this one and that's a plus i guess. "
— Annlena, 2/10/2012" This had so much potential to be a good book with the whole vampire war and such, but of course, the part it focuses on is Bella freezing in the cold and cheesy romance. It could have showed the fight instead! Meh. "
— William, 2/6/2012" This is where Stephanie Meyer really develops into a good writer. "
— Amber, 12/4/2011" HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA SOOOO FUNNY "

— Georgi, 8/13/2011" The story continues and the writing improves in leaps and bounds over the original first book in the series. Thankfully the Victoria storyline is wrapped up as this was starting to get a bit tired. "
— Sean, 6/24/2011" Best book among the Twilight Saga books. "
— Joe, 6/8/2011" Bella is chased by Victoria another vampire seking revenge on Bella and Edward for killing her lover James. Bella is also forced to chose werewolve or vampire or aka Jacob or Edward. Will it all end here? Read the book to find out. I recommend this book. "

— Princess, 5/23/2011" Felt cheated by the ending of the series. I won't spoil the end for others, but I was not happy with the way the series wrapped up. The author's writing did improve greatly with each new book in the series and that was fun to observe as I read the books. "
— Crystal, 5/22/2011" My favourite about the four, despite that I was not fully able to appreciate the Happy Ending; I was intrigued by the mishap in the second part of the book and charmed by Bella and Edward's child; Renesmee "
— M.C., 5/22/2011" I remember going out and buying this book the day it came out and reading it in two days. It was so wonderful. I think everyone was so excited just for Bella and Edward to finally have a love scene. Steamy. :) "

— Leah, 5/21/2011Stephenie Meyer is the bestselling author of the widely popular Twilight Saga. It all started on June 2, 2003, when the stay-at-home mother of three young sons woke up from a dream featuring seemingly real characters that she could not get out of her head. She invented the plot during the day then wrote it out late at night, when the house was quiet. Three months later she finished her first novel, Twilight. Twilight was one of 2005’s most talked about novels, and within weeks of its release the book debuted at number five on the New York Times bestseller list. The highly-anticipated sequel, New Moon, was released in September 2006 and has spent more than twenty-five weeks at the number-one position on the New York Times bestseller list. In 2007, Eclipse landed literally around the world and fans made the Twilight Saga a worldwide phenomenon. Meyer’s highly anticipated debut novel for adults, The Host, debuted at number one on the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. The Twilight novels have since been made into blockbuster films, launching Meyer even further into the spotlight.
