Summary:
I stuck my finger under the edge of the paper and jerked it under the tape. ‘Shoot,’ I muttered when the paper sliced my finger.

A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut. It all happened very quickly then.

‘No!’ Edward roared… Dazed and disorientated, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm – and into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires.

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

My Review:
My second read, which is a bit more enjoyable than the first. Now I know that there’s no plot to wait for – my main issue on the first read – I’m not getting so ansty about trying to work out the point of this book. The point is simply that beautiful men love the adorably clumsy Bella Swan. Nothing more than that.

There are still so many issues with this book, but most have been mentioned everywhere else on the net. The one that sticks in mind the most is when Bella says – I can’t remember the direct quote – “after all, we were both wolf girls now”. Yes, love, please define yourself by the man you hang out with the most. By that logic, I’m the last English National Champion in the Magic: The Gathering circuit!

All the same, it’s still taking me an age to get through because I keep dropping it for better, more exciting or interesting, books.
