Book Rating: 4 Stars

In this third book, Bella struggles with her feelings for Edward and Jacob, and questions her impending choice to become a vampire, ultimately being forced to make a decision between the two men and the futures they would each provide, all against the backdrop of spiraling serial killings in nearby Seattle. Happy-go-lucky Jacob joins the ranks of the unhappy for the most part in this one, and though it was understandable, I thought it was a bit sad to watch. Bella was still a bit whiny, morose and at times immature, but she is in a hard place having to make a choice between two men she cares deeply about. Edward on the other hand was a lot less sulky than the previous two books, at times almost light-hearted, and other times sagely accepting. My favorite part of this book is the werewolf/vampire alliance that develops due to the problems in Seattle and their connection to Bella. The most enjoyable book of the series thus far!
