Synopsis
I stuck my finger under the edge of the paper and jerked it under the tape. 'Shoot,' I muttered when the paper sliced my finger. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut. It all happened very quickly then. 'No!' Edward roared ...Dazed and disorientated, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm - and into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires. For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of an evil vampire but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realise their troubles may just be beginning ...

Customer Reviews

thank goodness for that
I was very weary when I started reading this book. I'm not a Jacob Black fan and it irritated me to the very core that his presence took over almost the whole book. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that Edward was always on Bella's thoughts and that she could hear him talking to her. I felt at least that he was still around. I kept flicking to the end to see if he would turn up (I know, I'm terrible but I'm sure i'm not the only one!)...and then the last couple of chapters sent me into a frenzy! I have never been so tense and excited about an ending in my life. It was such a relief to get rid of Jacob, for a while at least.

I'm just about to start the third one tonight and again I'm weary about it. I'm not sure I'll enjoy the love triangle thing but hopefully Bella will be sensible and pick her TRUE love - who we all know is Edward :)

'Riveting' and 'deeply moving'...
'New Moon' (NM) is the second book in The Twilight Saga, written by the amazingly talented Stephenie Meyer.

'New Moon' starts roughly four months after the end of 'Twilight', with Bella's eighteenth birthday. What should be a trouble free birthday party turns into a disaster, after Bella gives herself a paper cut. This event, in a way, shapes the whole book, as it's the reason why Edward does what he does (no spoilers here), and the reason why he starts to re-think his relationship with Bella.

'New Moon' focuses more on the character of Jacob, who we were previously introduced to in 'Twilight'. He becomes very important to Bella, and plays a pivotal role in The Twilight Saga.

'New Moon' is just as compelling as 'Twilight', and raises many new questions, which will both shock and surprise you. The back of the book describes it as 'riveting' and 'deeply moving', which I 100% agree with. Just a word of advice: try not to skip forward. I know it's hard, but do your best. You'll know what I mean when you read it...

Still got it
S.M still had my undivided attention with this one, although I found the first book to be a bit more exciting than the second. This is often the case with a new series as it's all so new and exciting. While I liked the development of Jacob and Bella's friendship, I kept wishing for Edward to sweep in and stop it all from going too far. I still prefer Edward to Jacob, although it sounds like things are heating up in the 3rd book!
