Eclipse (The Twilight Saga #3) by Stephenie Meyer - Review

In the third settlement, we are reunited with Bella Swan as she once again finds herself surrounded by danger.

With a rash of mysterious killings all across Seattle, and a vampire driven insane with revenge, Bella finds herself struggling to make it to graduation, with the knowledge that sooner or later, she will have to choose between her love for Edward Cullen, her immortal vampire boyfriend, or her friendship with Jacob Black, her werewolf best friend.

Choosing was never going to be easy, but it’s made worse by the fact that her decision has the potential to re-start the age-old war between the vampires, and the werewolves, forcing her to choose between life and death.

Meyer’s witty style is evident, as is her desire to expand her story, and with it raise the stakes to make it feel a bit more threatening, and a little less like a blip.

In the midst of questions about her own mortality, Meyer still manages to sprinkle in quiet human moments for our central protagonist, including her thoughts and worries about graduation, and what comes after she leaves school.
