About this book

I FELT LIKE I WAS TRAPPED IN ONE OF THOSE TERRIFYING NIGHTMARES…

For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning. . . .

Legions of readers entranced by the New York Times bestseller Twilight are hungry for the continuing story of star-crossed lovers Bella and Edward. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural spin. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

Beautiful, mesmerizing tale of true love!!!

May 27, 2013

This was my third re-reading of the novel, which is the second one in Meyer's beloved series. I read it as avidly as I did the first two times! I know there will be future re-readings, as well. I had not posted a review of the book before because so much has been said about it, in other reviews -- on Goodreads, Amazon, and countless blogs, although not everyone likes this book, (nor do they like the entire series). Still, I felt it was time for me to post my thoughts about this installment in...

angst-filled and edgy tone in this continuing dramatic saga of teen love between a vampire and a human

February 20, 2016

Twilight was a grand romance which frequently left me smiling, but New Moon takes on a bittersweet, angst-filled and edgy tone in this continuing dramatic saga of teen love between a vampire and a human.

A Darker, More Emotional Sequel That Deepens the Saga

April 26, 2026

New Moon takes a much more emotional turn, shifting from the intensity of first love to the pain of loss and self-discovery.

Bella’s journey is at the heart of this book, and it’s noticeably heavier in tone. The story leans into grief, loneliness, and healing, giving readers a deeper look at her character. While the pacing is slower compared to the first book, the...

Bella Sings the Blues...

March 2, 2009

Whether you love or hate Stephanie Meyers largely depends on how you relate to her characters. That being said, New Moon offers a veritable buffet compared to Twilight. New Moon attempts to do what Twilight made no attempt to do, and that is flesh out the characters in areas of some conflict. While the characters have their irrational, selfish, anti-authoritarian ways, that doesn't mean such characters don't populate the halls of many a highschool across the country. You can't blame Stephanie...
