Vampires weren’t enough for Stephanie Meyer. New Moon, the second book of the popular Twilight saga, adds a new twist to the life of Bella Swan.
Early on in the book Edward, Bella’s hunky vampire boyfriend, leaves the town of Forks and also leaves Bella. He says it will be ”as if he never existed.” She is absolutely devastated. Bella sinks into a deep depression. After a few months, however, she begins to hang out with her good friend Jacob Black. Bella quotes that when she is with him she “..was perfect-not healed, but as if there had never been a wound in the first place.” Just when things are beginning to look up for Bella, we find out the Jacob is a werewolf. You heard me right, a werewolf. It is now a competition for her heart. Team Jacob? Team Edward? To find out more…. read New Moon 
I really enjoyed New Moon. I thought it was a step up from the first in the saga, Twlight.
Meyer deeply developed Bella’s character. She has that way of writing. Her depression was portrayed very well. In some parts I felt saddend just from reading how Bella was reacting and feeling.
I loved all of the action in New Moon. Definetly a stay-up-late-reading-to-find-out-what-happens book for me. I found it hard to put down. There was shock, there was tragedy and everything in between.
Stephanie Meyer’s writing is very detailed. She uses many descriptive words that paint a picture in the readers mind. Her style really helps me connect with the characters. Another thing that I love about Meyer’s books are the fact they don’t take a lot to comprehend and whatnot. Her books aren’t a John Grisham heavy reading type. Hers are a light, relaxing read, an escape from the world.
I was very impressed with this book. Five stars.
