Things are just starting to settle back to some degree of normalcy for the Twilight saga's protagonist Bella Swan. Or at
least as normal as life can possibly be when your boyfriend is a
vampire and your best friend is a werewolf.
At first, the only danger that Bella has to contend with comes from her father Charlie when he learns of how Edward left her and sees how that affects her. But even in a small town like Forks, it isn't long before trouble comes looking for Bella. The trouble begins in Seattle, where a wave of
violence and murder has the police worried about gang violence. But Edward knows better, knows this is the work of his kind, a series of crimes committed by newborn vampires.
As the day of Bella's transformation draws near and the stakes rise, friendships will be tested to the limit and new allegiances will be formed as they face up to a foe that they had thought they had dealt with long ago. Victoria. But she has other plans, plans in which Bella is at the center in this, Stephenie Meyer's third novel in the thrilling Twilight saga. A saga that, if you'll pardon the pun, breathes new life into the vampire genre.
