New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

New Moon (Twilight Saga, #2)

by Stephenie Meyer

I stuck my finger under the edge of the paper and jerked it under the tape. 'Shoot,' I muttered when the paper sliced my finger. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut. It all happened very quickly then. 'No!' Edward roared ... Dazed and disorientated, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm - and into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires.

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

As much as I loved Edward, I was angry. I was angry at him for leaving and I was angry at him for thinking it was for Bella's own good. And I was just angry. It made it really hard to feel sympathy towards Edward because I hated him. I hated the fact that he considers dying. It was his fault he left. I hate that Bella goes to save him because he should be saving her. And as much as I began to hate Edward, I fell in love with Jacob.

And I really started to want it to be Jacob and Bella but Edward was always holding them back and it felt like it could be so right and it frustrated me something shocking. Meyer makes you feel so connected with the characters that you can't help but hate the emotional rollercoaster you're taken on.

Apart from that though, the writing was brilliant as per usual and the book clearly draws the reader in, if it wasn't for the horrible hatred of Edward and anger that Bella and Jacob can't be together I would've gave 5 stars. But I can't because Twilight was perfect and this was only a step up from me completely hating it.
