Book Description:
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?

Its so hard to write a helpful review w/o giving away details. This is my alltime fave series. Third book in series did not disappoint. I read all 629 pages in 2 days. The ending left many questions unanswered, but Im sure they were just left to be answered in the next book. This book was worth every penny. I only wish the next one were available already!

This was my favorite so far in the series. Its staying on my Keeper List. The boys are fighting mad over Bella, and its driving her nuts! Even though almost 99% of the female popuation is in love with Edward (myself included) You cant help but fall in love with Jacob too. Too bad a girl cant have her cake and eat it too.
I liked this book because we get to learn more about other characters, like Rosalee and Jasper. The info we learn in this book on Rosalee is relavent to events in the final book as well.

I don't know how I can be so hooked on reading a book with two lead characters who annoy me so much. I guess the reason Edward and Bella are so perfect for each other is that they can both be such whiners at times.

The love-triangle in this has definitely been done before (anyone read Anita Blake books?). Although, Jake is probably my favorite character out of the three.

The overall story is pretty good and it does keep you hooked.

I love the Twilight saga, but I was a little disappointed with this one. I don't want to give away the details, but I found the whole love triangle thing a bit overplayed. I did like how we learned more about the Cullen vamps - where they came from & how they came to be a family. The ending left alot of questions, and I'm sure readers will be surprised. It's a great romance without being raunchy. Can't wait for the final book that comes out this fall!

This third book of the Twilight series is awesome. I have read the entire series and cannot say enough about them. It has been a long time since I have come across books that I just could not put down. This is what happened with this series.

Every book was good.

This whole series has an edwardian feel to it, even though it is set in the here and now.The continuing love story of a human girl struggling to find herself while keeping company with Werewolves and her eternal love , a vampire.Not racy,but still a very satisfying love story.Our herione is beset with all the makings of a tradegy,yet she and her love must find a way to be together, else she be destroyed for all the secrets she carries.

I loved this book and the whole series! I couldn't put it down, I read the whole series in less than a week. It is a classic in the making. As a parent I also apprecited how moral it was since it is for young adults. The series is backed by sound morals and family values that are lacking in many YA books. Meyer promotes close family units, no drug use, safe driving, no sex before marriage, etc... Though there is sex in the last book it takes place after Belle and Edward are married which is more than I can say about many other YA vampire series. In fact it is Edward(the male main character) that encourages the abstinance throughout the series which I beleive is an excelent example for young males... one I would love to find in any boy who would date my daughters. All and all loved the books and would recommend them to anyone. They would make a great Mother/Daughter read.

Still reading them...

Sorry, but this was my least favorite of the three I have read so far. Too long, and I felt the long triangle was too contrived and unrealistic. Ok, so everyone is in love with Bella. I get it.

I did like the cooperation of the groups and the resolution of the threat, though it took forever to get there. Also liked the Indian mythology.

So far, this is my favorite book in the series. For me, Twilight was just OK and I enjoyed New Moon much more. Then I found myself unable to put Eclipse down, and I can't wait to begin Breaking Dawn. The tension Bella feels is described so completely, and it shows she's a normal girl torn between two great boys that love her. Her decisions for her future have me holding my breath, but I don't want to ruin the story with any more descriptions. Enjoy!

Eclipse was like twilight. It was beautiful. I love the chapter called Fire and Ice. Anyway. Eclipse was probably my favorite out of the three. If not I defiantly liked it more than New moon. These books are wonderful!

a must read once you've started the series, but not nearly as good as the first two books.

I loved this book, as well as all the other Twilight books in this series. I hope Stephanie will decide later to write more books, maybe on the life of Renesmee and Jacob, go see how there life will unfold. I recommend reading Breaking Dawn if your don't know what I am talking about. GREAT series.

Bella and Edward move on with their relationship with Bella desperately missing her friend Jacob who keeps away from her since she decided to stay together with vampire Edward. Edward, strictly against a friendship warns her that werewolves aren't predictable and tries to occupy her with his sister Alice or himself to keep her away from La Push, the wolves reservoir.
But sooner or later he has to learn that Jacob's friendship means a lot to Bella, enough to run away from his watchful eyes. He knows that sooner or later Bella has to decide between the human love she feels for Jacob and his and wants her to decide for herself.

When Seattle is raided by a group of young vampires, Bella once again is the target of Victoria's revenge. To win this war the Cullens' have to built an alliance with the wolves pack to fight the group that will come to Forks.

-

I don't quite know what to think of this third installment. Bella has her issues with becoming immortal, she has her issues to give up the human qualities Jacob could offer her. The author most definitely went overboard with the whole love triangle thing and certain parts didn't make sense to me at all. But then, I've never been like Bella, who is still the most dependent person in the world, now needing two men to "survive".
Edward seems to have matured a bit by allowing Bella to keep her friendship and decide for herself but still the whole situation is annoying. As a mother I'd probably throw a fit over it.

So top or flop, I wouldn't know and can't decide if I liked it or not. The book didn't offer much substance to me which I expected but overall, it was an ok read to pass the time.
I'm still interested how the story ends and have already picked up the last book to finish the series and get it out of the way.

I refuse to draw any conclusions to the secret fantasies the author might have. Won't do that. No no no.

Again another wow! This book was extremely well written nothing was left out. The characters the story line everything just flowed. Just when you thought or hoped that something would happen, there would be a little twist there. Jacob, Edward and Bella really put on a good show. Outstanding book, great series. This book stands alone great or read them in order. Just a masterpiece. I am looking forward to Breaking Dawn. Heather
