| | | I FELT LIKE I WAS TRAPPED IN ONE OF THOSE TERRIFYING NIGHTMARES...
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 readers entranced by the "New York Times "bestseller "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.
Annotation:
The star-crossed lovers Bella Swan and Edward Cullen still find themselves as deeply in love as they were in the bestselling romance TWILIGHT, but dating a vampire still isn't easy. Now 18, Bella longs to be transformed into a vampire by Edward, but he continues to refuse. After a disastrous birthday celebration where Bella's blood proves to be too tempting to the Cullen family, the unraveling of their lives is in full force. This page-turning young-adult gothic delves with gusto--and engrossing action--into the themes of passion and pain.
| Praise| "[T]his tale of tortured demon lovers entices." 07/15/2006 "When Edward leaves Bella, for reasons the reader can guess but Bella can't, Meyer perfectly conveys her depression with a series of pages that are blank except for the names of passing months...Fans will be almost as impatient for Edward's return, but tough and resourceful Bella is the star of this book." - Julie Just 10/22/2006 |
| Author Bio| Stephenie Meyer | | On June 2, 2003, Stephenie Meyer, a mild-mannered Mormon housewife living near Phoenix, AZ, had one of the most prolific and profitable dreams of all-time. Meyer dreamt of a darkly handsome vampire whose love for a comely young lady was constantly threatened by his unearthly desire to suck her blood. Even though she was raising three children under the age of five at the time, Meyer somehow managed to extend her vivid dream into a popular book for teens, TWILIGHT, published in 2005. By 2008, the four books of the TWILIGHT series were the four top-selling books of the year, according to USA Today, an unprecedented feat that has never been accomplished by any other author. The four main books soon spawned countless companion guides, a network of related websites, a blockbuster film series, and an emerging genre of TWILIGHT-related alternative rock, led by artists recommended by Meyer through playlists on her website. ||While her lucid nocturnal hallucination has now evolved into an international multimedia phenomenon, Meyer herself has remained firmly grounded in her family and her faith. She was born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1973, but the Meyer family settled in Phoenix when Stephenie was only four years old, and she has lived there ever since. She and her five siblings--two sisters, three brothers--quickly grew tired of the BRADY BUNCH comparisons they were inevitably bombarded with (Stephenie, the middle sister, would have been Jan). A National Merit Scholarship paid her way to Brigham Young University, where she earned a degree in English, though she focused on reading literature, rather than writing it. While at BYU, Meyer "met" and married her husband, "Pancho," though they had actually known each other as acquaintances since they were toddlers. Meyer and her family are observant Mormons, which means she does not drink alcohol or caffeine (though she admitted to Time magazine that she sneaks an occasional Diet Pepsi), and she does not watch R-rated films. Luckily for her, TWILIGHT, the film version of her book, was rated PG-13. |
