New Moon
by Stephenie Meyer
Overview
From the Publisher
Legions of readers entranced by
Twilight are hungry for more and they won't be disappointed. In
New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. The "star-crossed" lovers theme continues as Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including 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 vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.
My thoughts
This book is destroying my soul. Or at the very least, my sanity. I am so wrapped up in this whole vampire thing after reading this second book of the series that tonight when I was making dinner, some blood from the hamburger I was repackaging dripped on my leg, and I immediately grabbed a towel to wipe it off before the feeding frenzy began. Seriously. This must stop!
How do kids read these books and not have nightmares every night?! I think the book is terrifying! I still love the love story parts, but every so often there's something so terrifying that I can hardly shake it from my mind! The terrifying parts are usually short and end abruptly, but there's that lasting crunching sound in my ears!
I've read two books in the series in less than a week, and I'd be going to Wal-mart to get the third right now if I wasn't already in my jammies, and if it wasn't 11:44pm. I'll be picking it up over my lunch hour tomorrow, and will probably start it right then!
Favorite Passage
"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars - points of light and reason. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I coudn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."
