"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.
