"Bella?"
Edward’s soft voice came from behind me.
I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch
steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled
me into his arms at once, just like he had in the
parking lot, and kissed me again. This kiss frightened
me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge
to the way his lips crushed mine–like he was
afraid we had only so much time left to us.
As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious
killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest
for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded
by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced
to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship
with Jacob --- knowing that her decision has the
potential to ignite the ageless struggle between
vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly
approaching, Bella has one more decision to make:
life or death. But which is which?
REVIEWS
By Publishers Weekly
The legions of readers who are hooked on the romantic
struggles of Bella and the vampire Edward will ecstatically
devour this third installment of the story begun
in Twilight, but it's unlikely to win over any newcomers.
Jake, the werewolf met in New Moon, pursues Bella
with renewed vigilance. However, when repercussions
from an episode in Twilightplace Bella in the mortal
danger that series fans have come to expect, Jake
and Edward forge an uneasy alliance. The plot patterns
have begun to show here, but Meyer's other strengths
remain intact. The supernatural elements accentuate
the ordinary human dramas of growing up. Jake and
Edward's competition for Bella feels particularly
authentic, especially in their apparent desire to
best each other as much as to win Bella. Once again
the author presents teenage love as an almost inhuman
force: "[He] would have been my soul mate still,"
says Bella, "if his claim had not been overshadowed
by something stronger, something so strong that
it could not exist in a rational world." According
to Meyer, the fourth book should tie up at least
the Edward story, if not the whole shebang. Ages
12-up. (Aug.)
