"Don'tbe afraud," I murmured. "We belong together." I was abruptly overwhelmed by the truth of my own words. This moment was so perfect, so right, there was no way to doubt it. His arms wrapped around me, holding me against him. . . . It felt like every nerve ending in my body was a live wire. "Forevr," he agreed.

~My Thoughts~

Since it had to come to an end I think this book did it well. While I am very sad that the saga has ended, I am content with the outcome. I think the way she set this book up helped with the overall quality. The passion between Edward and Bella was palpable. While I was not the biggest fan of Jacob he was a good guy in this book. The characters were amazing. I truly enjoyed the ending of this series. I am so happy with the ending.

In the dead silence, all the details suddenly fell into place for me with a burst of intuition. Something Edward didn't want me to know. Something the Jacob wouldn't have kept from me. . . It was never going to end, was it?
~My Thoughts~
Suspense and Thrill!!!!! This book is amazing. The chemistry between Edward and Bella deepens. We also begin to see a new side to Rosalie, which is intriguing. I could not put this book down. The plot is intense and there is the same kind of intriguing action as the first.

I knew we were both in mortal danger. Still, in that instant, I felt well. Whole. I could feel my heartracing in my chest, the blood pulsing hot and fast through my veins again. My lungs filled deep with the sweet scent that came of his skin. It was like there had never been any hole in my chest. I was perfect -- not healed, but as if there had never been a wound in the first place.

~My Thoughts~
While New Moon is not as thrilling as its predecessor Twilight it does play a key part in the series. This story focuses more on the character of Jacob Black than Edward Cullen. I am not a big fan of Jcob so that did not intrigue me. The book is slow in the beginning but lays lots of details out that will be neede din the following books. It begins to become more intersting in the last few chapters. It becomes action packed and suspense filled. I did enjoy this book after I finished the series but not so much as I read it.

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him- and I didn't know how dominant that part might be- that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

~My Thoughts~

I admit that I was not a Twilight fan in the beginning. I decided to see the movie to see why everyone was so obsessed, and then I fell in love!!! I read the book and was shocked and amazed at how Stephenie Meyer chose to tell this story. Twilight is the essence of a true love story. I love it. It is one of my favorite books now, and I will admit that I was glad to read it.
