Why did I pick this book? As with the first two books in this series, I read these books at least once a year. Especially when a new movie is coming out.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes. But the plot is the least memorable to me. Before you jump on me and ask how I can enjoy it if it is not memorable, please understand that I cannot remember books that well. (Which is great because I truly enjoy reading books over and over again . . . because I forget them . . . well, parts of them. I’ll remember the big picture but forget the details. Or I’ll remember snippets but forget the big picture. It’s just what I do.)

This book is much more enjoyable than New Moon . . . not so much depression. Edward and Bella are together. Jake is still a wolf. There’s action in the form of a newborn army all wanting Bella’s blood. Good stuff.

I really enjoyed learning more about Jasper’s backstory. It is very interesting and helps explain Jasper. And I loved learning the Quileute legends. Those were good and provided a good background for Bella’s part later in the story.

My favorite part of this book is the scene in the tent between Jacob and Edward. (Found in Chapter 22 “Fire and Ice.”) The heart-to-heart, or should I say mind-to-mind, between the two guys is great. It brings them closer together, yet reminds them why they are so-called enemies.

Would I recommend it? Yes, you have to find out what happens next to these characters.

Will I read it again? Yes. Absolutely.

About the book – from Goodreads: 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?
