Publication Information
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 realize their troubles may just be beginning....
"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.
