Meyer, Stephenie. Eclipse. New York City: Little, Brown and Company, 2007. 629 pages. (Vampire/Romance/Thriller)For Bella Swan, time is running out fast. She has to make a choice between her best friend, Jacob Black, and her love, Edward Cullen. A half-crazed vampire desires nothing more than Bella’s death and gets closer to her goal every day. The most important decision of her life lies ahead: vampire or human? Edward seems content to leave her human and let her get old, but Bella has other plans. She longs to be a Cullen, to be a vampire. It’s not much of a decision, considering the Volturi, ancient vampire guardians, are counting the weeks until her transformation to an immortal. There are dozens of newborn vampires running rampant in Seattle. Thirsty and crazed, they are killing more and more people every day. It seems to Bella as if it’s coming at her from all sides these days. Even with a vampire family and a werewolf pack intent on keeping her alive and mortal, how long will she last?
Way to go Stephenie Meyer! I always felt as if Meyer’s books were a straight and narrow lane with no intersecting conflicts, but this book defied that. She did a good job of intertwining a couple of different conflicts and made them come together in the end, and that’s what gives this book interest to incline me to read it five times! This book, I feel, is the most dynamic book in the saga because of this. A great read for romance and thriller lovers!
Also in this series: Twilight, New Moon, and Breaking Dawn. If you love this saga and are thirsty for mare of Meyer, read The Host.
