In New Moon, the Cullen's want to celebrate Bella's eighteenth birthday with her so Alice Cullen throws her a party to remember- not in a positive way. When opening a gift Bella recives a paper cut thus sending Jasper, the newest vegetarian, out of control.

Throughout the story their friendship grows, eventually leading to (fun) reckless stunts. Howeever, Bella discovers that when she takes part in these dangerous activities, she can hear Edward's voice in the back of her head. Eventually, when his voice fades, Bella jumps off a cliff to hear it once again. Unfourtantley, Alice sees it in a vision and immediatley calls Edward who belives Bella is dead when she is not. Since he thinks she's gone, he has no reason to live and turns to the Volturi to end his vampire life. Can Bella stop him in time?

Eclipse Book Summary


The plot begins with various headlines of unsolved murders in Seattle, Washington. This leads to the Cullens, wolf pack, and Bella making the infrence that a chain of new born vampires have gone a killing spree, and must be stopped. Meanwhile, Victoria is lurking in the shadows of Forks waiting to strike the very moment Bella is away from the protection of Jacob or Edward. So while trying to balance the Victoria issue with the new borns, werewolf and vampire must work together to put a stop to the new born vampire army before they reach Forks and save Bella before it's too late.

Breaking Dawn Summary

I don't want to give too much information away considering this is the last book in the series so I can just say this; the book is divided into three sections, and two different points of veiw- Bella, Jacob, and then Bella again. Also this book introduces a new charater, Rennesme. She is the hybrid of Edward and Bella and is half human half vampire so she grows and develops as any other human will, but has amazing beauty and talent only found in vampires. So the main issues in this novel are the Volturi and Rennesme. Is Rennesme a newborn vampire? Is it allowed? Is she a danger to the vampire world? Leave it to the Volturi to find out.

Charaters at a Glance

(Wolves)
Jacob- My favorite of the pack. He is the main link between the Cullen's and his pack due to his close friendship with Bella and him imprinting on Renesmee.
Seth- Youngest. Leans towards Jacob and sees him as a leader. Does not like to listen and tries to make his own decisions.
Leah-The only female wolf. Definetly quite irritating. Because she is the older sibling, always has to try to look out for Seth.
Sam-The Alpha. Tries to keep his fellow pack members under control without always succeeding.
Quil-One of the many jokers of the pack. One of Jake's two best buds. He is very independent and doesn't like to be bossed-around.
Embry-Another one of Jacob's closer pack members. Definetly better-tempered and more understanding than the rest.
Paul-Has some serious anger managment problems. Constantly relies on his pack to keep him undercontrol, and is very independent.
Jared- He has a great sense of humor, but nobody else seems to appreciate it, so he is kind of lost within the pack.
Collin and Brady-A couple of kids off the reservation who are used to gaurd La Push most of the time.

(Cullens)
Bella-Plays largest role in the story. She is now a newborn vampire who has the chance to spend eternity with her live.
Edward- Husband of Bella. Has one of the most desired talents of the Voulturi; to read minds from a distance.
Renesemee- Newest of the Cullen coven. Causes a huge stirr-up in Breaking Dawn. Imprinted with Jacob and is half immortal and half human.
Emmett- Strongest and most comical of the vampires. Has no special talent unless you consider extreme size a gift.
Carlisle-Most controlled of the Cullens. Changed almost all the Cullens into immortals (Except for Bella)
Jasper-Has the gift of controlling the emotions in the area around him. Also the least-controlled when it comes to the scent of human blood.
Esme-The "mother" of the Cullens and one of the most kind and welcoming towards Bella besides Edward.
Alice-She befriends Bella from the begining. Loves to be social, and plan activities. Has ability to see the future as it is happening.
Rosalie-Very beautiful and most attractive of the Cullens. Has a bitter attitude towards Bella and is quite fond of Renesmee which forces her to bond with Bella.


(Humans)
Charlie-Father of Bella Swan.
Billy- Great friend of the Swans and father of Jacob. (also a possible candidate for Quil's unknown father)
Angela-One of Bella's few remaining friends in Forks.
Mike-Still has a huge crush on Bella as they remain friends.
Jessica-A former Friend of Bella.
Phil-Step-father of Bella and the reason of her moving to Forks.
Renee-Bella's mother.

There are much more charaters that are not quite as important to the story line.
Is Midnight Sun a Big Lie???

No, it is certainly not. Trust me, I'm not making this up. You see, Midnight Sun does not extend the series, it is simply just Twilight re-written in Edward's eyes. Now, because of all the issues with plagiarise laws and people attempting to steal Myer's draft of Midnight Sun, the question is whether she chooses to publish it or not. So yes, Midnight Sun has been written and completed, but may or not be sold in a store near you anytime soon.
