New Moon
”Shoot,” I muttered when the paper sliced my finger; I pulled it out to examine the damage. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut.
It all happened very quickly then.
Edward threw himself at me, flinging me back across the table...
I tumbled down to the floor by the piano, with my arms thrown out instinctively to catch my fall, into the jagged shards of glass. I felt the searing, stinging pain that ran from my wrist to the crease inside my elbow.
Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm-into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires.
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.

Stephenie Meyer
Stephenie Meyer is a name that became synonymous with the supernatural romance genre after the release of Twilight, a book that captured the imagination of millions and became a global phenomenon. With her unique blend of romance, suspense, and the supernatural, Meyer redefined the boundaries of young adult fiction and introduced the world to a new kind of love story—one that was as dangerous as it was compelling.
Born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1973, Meyer’s early life was far from the stuff of vampire legends, yet it was full of influences that would later shape her writing. A lifelong reader and passionate storyteller, Meyer’s path to becoming a writer wasn’t immediate. She graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in English, and it wasn’t until after she’d married and had children that the idea for Twilight came to her in a vivid dream. That dream, featuring a human girl and a vampire, sparked the beginning of a saga that would become a cultural touchstone.
The Twilight Saga
In the overcast quiet of a sleepy Pacific Northwest town, something ancient stirs beneath the surface of ordinary life. A girl who longs to disappear finds herself seen by someone who’s spent a century trying to remain unseen—and in that collision, the world shifts. This is the haunting heartbeat of Twilight, a series that reshaped the landscape of young adult fantasy by pairing mortal vulnerability with immortal longing.
The Twilight Saga consists of five primary books, and includes two additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
Reviews and Comments
I hoped the writing would have gotten better in this second part. It hadn't. Luckily, the story did improve although my fondness of Bella went down the drain. I could relate to her, but still felt like shaking and slapping her back to reality.. But I guess that black&white tunnel vision is what makes the teenage romance so unconditionally and irrecoverably wonderful. In this rehash of Shakespeare's most tragic love story, I seriously rooted for Paris.. How about that Jake Black fanclub??
New Moon was way better than Twilight. Why? Because Edward Cullen wasn't there for the most of the book. Give me Jacob Black any day! Edward, being oh so perfect, is boring beyond words. Jake has issues, so he is more interesting as a character. I have to admit that Meyer knows something about emotions and writes easily readable yarns. But why is everyone into Edward Cullen? I want Jacob Black fan club!
