After Edward and his family move away from Forks, Bella is devastated and falls into a deep depression. Over time, she begins to rely on Jacob’s friendship to bring her back to life. Meanwhile, huge wolves are spotted around the town of Forks making the forest a dangerous place.

Summary
Bella’s life as she knows it has ended since the Cullens family moved away in an effort to protect her from a vampire attack. Heartbroken and missing Edward, she starts her senior year of high school and falls into a deep depression as the months slip by. Eventually, she reconnects to her friendship with Jacob, much to her father’s relief. Bella also discovers that she can hear Edward in her thoughts whenever she is in danger, and with Jacob’s company begins a pattern of risky behavior. However, she takes things too far and Edward believes that she has died, and sets about trying to end his own life. He plans to reveal himself as a vampire in public, and action punishable by death by the vampire Volturi family in Italy. Bella and Alice race against time to find Edward before it’s too late.

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.
