Bella thought everything was set with her and Edward. That is until the Cullen’s decide to leave Forks. Put in a deep depression for about four months, Bella has been affecting everyone around her. Her friends take her depression offensively, and her father Charlie threatens to send her back to her mother. Desperate to find a new purpose, Bella starts hanging out with an acquaintance, Jacob Black. Bella decides to be rebellious, and buy two motorcycles that needed repair. Bella just needed something to do, so she asked Jacob if he would help her repair them. She got more than she expected from the time spent with Jacob, and started becoming surprisingly close with him. Then, Bella didn’t hear from him, and she didn’t know why. Was Bella moving on from Edward? She knew there was something wrong about Jake Black, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. What could it be?

This sequel from the well-known Twilight series will have you questioning. The beginning of the story is a little slow, draining on about Bella’s depression for about 200 pages. After that, the storyline picks up, and becomes easier to read. New Moon is a great thriller, and will have you wanting more. This book would be great for someone who loves romance, and a sense of the unknown. Stephanie Meyer does a wonderful job captivating the reader, once they are well into the story. This story forces you to create an opinion of the series, and provokes the thoughts of readers of any kind.
