Description/Blurb:
I knew we were both in mortal danger.
Still, in that instant I felt well. Whole. I could feel my heart racing in my chest, the blood pulsing hot and fast through my veins again. My lungs filled deep with the sweet scent that came off his skin.
It was like there had never been any hole in my chest. I was perfect – not healed, but as if there had never been a wound in the first place.
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…
My Thoughts:
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow. Hard to believe it has been more than 2 years since I have read this book the last time. I cannot even tell you how many times I have read the books in this series, and yet for some reason, I often find myself coming back to them. I really cannot explain it.
As in the first book, the writing is simplistic and perhaps somewhat juvenile, but I still enjoy them. Call it my guilty pleasure, if you will.
A brief recap for those not familiar with the series: Our heroine finds herself in a precarious emotional situation do to circumstances beyond her control, and has to endure some intense, life-threatening action and find a way to survive on the other side. Intense, right?
The story has some intense action sequences that will keep a reader unfamiliar with the story on their toes, and even some that are familiar with the story, but haven’t read it for a while like me.
I enjoy these simple stories sometimes and I could even sit here and draw parallels to Romeo and Juliet, but those have been done a million times.
My advice? Forget the critics, read what you enjoy, and be proud of it.
