Recovered from the vampire attack that hospitalized her in the conclusion of Twilight (Little, Brown, 2005), Bella celebrates her birthday with her boyfriend Edward and his family, a unique clan of vampires that has sworn off human blood. But the celebration abruptly ends when the teen accidentally cuts her arm on broken glass. The sight and smell of her blood trickling away forces the Cullen family to retreat lest they be tempted to make a meal of her. After all is mended, Edward, realizing the danger that he and his family create for Bella, sees no option for her safety but to leave. Mourning his departure, she slips into a downward spiral of depression that penetrates and lingers over her every step. Vampire fans will appreciate the subsequently dour mood that permeates the novel, and it's not until Bella befriends Jacob, a sophomore from her school with a penchant for motorcycles, that both the pace and her disposition begin to take off. Their adventures are wild, dare-devilish, and teeter on the brink of romance, but memories of Edward pervade Bella's emotions, and soon their fun quickly morphs into danger, especially when she uncovers the true identities of Jacob and his pack of friends. 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.

I read this book in May 2010 .. I can't say I am glad that this book was SO much better than Twilight, because that means I really do need to read Eclipse -- but I am glad I read this book and didn't just stop at Twilight. I cared so much more in this book than in Twilight -- could it be that Jacob is a better character than Edward? the answer, at least for me, is Hell Yes. Jacob would be so much better for our whiny heroine. He makes her smile, and not wonder about the what ifs -- while Edward is the king of what ifs.
I was also glad that most of this book didn't have our "woe is me" hero around -- much like I wanted Bill gone from Sookie's life (the dead series that True Blood is based off of) I wanted Edward gone too. I just didn't know it was so very possible.
I missed Alice and Jasper, my two favorite Cullens, but I was willing to not have them if I could not have Edward.
AND, my new favorite vampire? Aro. Yes indeedy, he is just too awesome for words. I relish the fact that he may return in one of the next two books. Can't wait really.
And I was crying at the end. More even than when she left Jacob at her house to chase after Edward. I feel his pain, and I want him to get Bella. I want Jacob to be happy.
enough of the disjointed review -- I will be reading Eclipse here soon.

I will likely put this in my Trick-or-Treat box this year.
