Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer

Book Summary

In the book Eclipse, the third book of Twilight Saga, it challenges the trust and support between the Vampires and the Werewolves. Victoria, who was the mate of James (who the Cullens killed in the book New Moon), wants revenge and therefore creates a Clan of her own. The newborns are the most violent in their early lie, and Victoria trains them to destroy Bella Swan.

The killings and mysterious un-seen people went out of control, the Cullens found the need to step in before the Volturi did. However, the newborns were too many to defeat only with the Cullens so they asked the Werewolves for help. The Werewolves understandingly agreed to help them as they believe it is their responsibility to protect the humans too. Therefore, the two gather for training, finding it quite amusing and fun, whilst some still think they will always be monsters or dogs.

Then, the moment they have been preparing for finally arrived. With Bella, Edward and Jacob up in the mountains to stay safe, all they could do was wait until it was all over. There were a lot of newborns than expected and they were more vicious too. Despite the newborns thirst, the trained and experienced Werewolves and Vampires defeat the newborn army. Then the Volturies just watched as it happened. Ultimately, they finally found out that it was Victoria behind all the common and live their lives as it was, only with a stronger connection and relationship as before.

Review

I found myself having sleepless nights as it just made me turn the book every minute. I think Stephanie really used her describing knowledge the most in this book, having to describe everything to make it more scary and dramatic  And I guess it succeeded as even while reading, I did get an occasionally shiver. It was really exciting to see a different side of the Werewolves and Vampires. I personally loved the part when Jacob  kissed Bella, and when Edward found out about it, they had their mini-argument. I loved it, and I couldn't help myself from giggling and smiling and it was just so cute.

Recommendation

Again, like the other previous books, I must say this book really needs a mature and an older audience. This is because there are a few scenes that aren't appropriate to young minds. Also, a reader that desires a thriller-page-turner book ought to grab this book. It's mixed with adventure, horror and all sorts.
