Publisher's summary

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife to reach the ultimate turning point.

Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fate of two tribes hangs.

Now Bella has made her decision; a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life - first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse - seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed...forever?

The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic.

The books are way better than the movies!

What did you love best about Breaking Dawn?

Jacob's voice!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Breaking Dawn?

I really appreciated the multiple narrators and loved that this story takes on Jacob's point of view. I particularly like the part where Jacob (without giving too much away) has his personal climax and that's all I can say without ruining a key part of this story.

Which character – as performed by Ilyana Kadushin and Matt Walters – was your favorite?

Matt was perfect as Jacob... Absolutely perfect! IIyana had a great range of voices for each character and I look forward to hearing her again.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There are many moving moments, a lot happens in this book for our three main characters and honestly when the boom ended... I wasn't ready to leave them just yet. The end when Bella masters her powers and is able to surprise Edward once again is just the absolute sweetest thing!

Awesome for a long trip!

It is a really well done audiobook. The narrators were talented and appropriate for the story line. Of all of the Twilight Saga, this was my favorite.

Awesome! This is probably the 6th time....

I have listened to the Twilight Saga and I am in my 40's! Lol. Illayana has a beautiful warm buttery voice that gives so much life to the characters beyond Stephenie's written words. I love, love this book and the audio performance I would give it a missimpala if I could!

Narrator has improved but still not great

I'll give it to her, the narrator did improve significantly from her narration of Twilight, but it still left something to be desired.

My Default Series

I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this book. I'm a middle-aged male but this teen supernatural series is one of my favorites. I always like having a story going on in my car, on my headphones or my TV and I often put on the Twilight Series. I wish we would get more of this story in the future.
