Breaking Dawn

Meyer, Stephanie. Breaking Dawn. New York: Little, Brown Company, 2008. 754 pages. (Fantasy Series / Vampires)

In this fourth and final book of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, things are not what they seem. Bella, Edward, and the Cullens are back in a rich novel full of twists and turns. Edward and Bella have an almost perfect wedding, but during their honeymoon, an unforeseen problem is introduced- Bella is pregnant, but this is no normal baby. Through Jacob Black’s eyes, you see the baby grow at an extremely fast rate, nearly killing Bella by starvation. Finally the problem is worked out, but just in time for another bigger one, the baby’s unscheduled birth. Bella is literally torn apart by this and Edward has no choice but to plunge his venom into her. After Bella wakes, she sees her baby girl, Renesmee. At the same time, she discovers that Jacob and Renesmee’s fates are twisted together in a way she didn’t think possible: Jacob imprinted on Renesmee. But even that impossible idea is nothing to the fact that Renesmee has been seen and mistaken for an illegal vampire child. The informer has gone to the Volturi- the vampire control center in Italy that holds the vampire rules- and now there’s no turning back. Newly turned vampire Bella, Edward, Renesmee, the Cullens, vampire friends, and the human people of Forks have all been sentenced to die…


As with the other books in this series, I absolutely loved this book. The multiple plots kept the story moving, and I liked that the book was done in three different point of views; part one Bella as a human, Jacob, and finishing with Bella as a vampire. I would recommend this book to anyone into the Twilight series, vampire stories, love stories, or thrillers; this book is a perfect mix.
