Reader's annotation
Life happily returns to normal when Edward comes back to town and quickly becomes inseparable from Bella. Meanwhile, a mysterious series of murders in nearby Seattle has the Cullens worried that newborn vampires may be on the loose and headed to Forks.

Summary
The Cullens have moved back to Forks and Edward and Bella are deeply in love as they finish up the final months of high school. Bella is eager to join the Cullen family and become a vampire as soon as possible, but Edward has a few conditional terms: graduation, marriage, and college first. The closeness of their relationship causes conflict with Jacob, as he is coming to terms with his new life as a werewolf.

Notes
This is an ideal recreational read that appeals to teenage girls. The book is lengthy but the text is easy to read and the suspense and romance make it a page-turner as the reader follows along to see what happens between Bella and Edward. Includes descriptions of vampire activities and some violence.
