In book three of Myers saga, Bella falls deeper in love with Edward,
the vampire while trying to maintain her "longtime friendship" with
Jacob, a werewolf.  Because of Bella's attraction to these two, the
local, age-old treaty between the vampires and werewolves may be in
jeopardy.  Meanwhile, in nearby Seattle, the city is being ravaged by
a mysterious serial killer (or killers.)   Bella, Jacob, and Edward
know it is vampire related.  The situation has to be handled. Can this
new group of young vampires be killed?  Who "started" this new group?
This 629 page book is along read.  It is a love story with the vampire
and werewolf things thrown in… some gore.  Edward and Bella and
struggle over whether they should sleep together before they are
married.  There are some very passionate kissing scenes.  While this
is a long read, your Middle and High School students who are into this
series will eat it up.  The anticipated big battle was actually very
short, page-wise and this may disappoint some readers.  The book has a
complete and satisfying ending but it leaves open the possibility for
more.  I think I have heard of a movie in the future.. which would
make sense since this series is soooo popular.
