Media Reviews

"Fans of Meyer's debut novel, Twilight, may be disappointed in this second book in a planned trilogy ... Will Bella get to Italy in time to save Edward? Will she remain human? Meyer answers the first question but leaves the second for the third novel." - PW.

"Despite the flaws, expect this book to remain checked out by its legions of fans as they await the third novel's release." - VOYA.

"Less streamlined than Twilight yet just as exciting, New Moon will more than feed the bloodthirsty hankerings of fans of the first volume and leave them breathless for the third." - School Library Journal.

"Despite Bella's flat and obsessive personality, this tale of tortured demon lovers entices." - Kirkus.

New Moon
New Moon shows purely that Bella and Edward would go to any measure to keep each other safe. It is simply wonderful.
