Publisher's summary

For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning.

Legions of listeners entranced by the New York Times best-seller Twilight are hungry for the continuing story of star-crossed lovers Bella and Edward. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural spin. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

Critic reviews

"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)

"Bella's dismay at being ordinary (after all, she's only human) will strike a chord even among girls who have no desire to be immortal, and like the vampires who watch Bella bleed with 'fevered eyes', teens will relish this new adventure and hunger for more." (Booklist)

Like the Empire Strikes Back in Star Wars...Dark

If you could sum up New Moon in three words, what would they be?

Dark Light Blinding

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jacob---he is a lifeline for Bella and he is insistent and warm and unconditionally loves her.

What does Ilyana Kadushin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She has a beautiful young woman's voice. It's fun to experience this book as an audiobook. Very good.

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

When Jacob sees that the Cullens are back in town and his prejudicial hatred of vampires is challenged by Bella's love and acceptance of the Cullens.

Neww Moon

I just finished this audio book and I loved it. I will say that I did not LOVE the part where Edward left. However, I do like the character Jake.
Over all, a very good listen/read.

What does Ilyana Kadushin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

When I reas New Moon I didn't find it as entertaining as the audiobook. She brought emotion and passion to the book.

good book

slow start but gets better. A connector book. the stories after don't make as much sense without this one so you have to endure some slow spots to get to the good parts.
