About this book

In this irresistible continuation of the New York Times bestselling Twilight Saga, a heartbroken and reckless Bella clings to the support of Jacob, while new threats of danger and vengeance test her and Edwards’s romance—and chances of survival. 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 could ever 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. Bella and Edward face a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy's reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampiric love story has reached literary immortality. “New Moon will more than feed the bloodthirsty hankerings of fans of the first volume and leave them breathless for the third” (School Library Journal) Praise for The Twilight Saga “This tale of tortured demon lovers entices”—Kirkus Reviews "In the tradition of Anne Rice. . . this dark romance is gripping." —Booklist (starred review) "The novel's danger-factor skyrockets as the excitement of secret love and hushed affection morphs into a terrifying race to stay alive." —School Library Journal (starred review) “Relish this new adventure and hunger for more”—Booklist A New York Times bestseller A New York Times "Editor's Choice" A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year An Amazon best of #Booktok Book

About Stephenie Meyer

an American novelist and film producer. She is best known for writing the vampire romance series Twilight. Meyer was the bestselling author of 2008 and 2009 in the U.S. Meyer received the 2009 Children's Book of the Year award from the British Book Awards for Breaking Dawn, the Twilight series finale. Stephenie Morgan was born on December 24, 1973, in Hartford, Connecticut, the second of six children to financial officer Stephen Morgan and homemaker Candy Morgan. Meyer was raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and attended Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. In 1992, Meyer won a National Merit Scholarship, which helped fund her undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where she received a BA in English Literature in 1997. Although she began and finished her degree at BYU, she took classes at Arizona State University in fall 1996 and spring 1997. Meyer met her future husband, Christian "Pancho" Meyer, in Arizona when they were both children. They married in 1994, when Meyer was twenty-one.Together, they have sons who Christian Meyer retired from his job as an auditor to take care of full time. Before writing her first novel, Twilight, Meyer considered going to law school because she felt she had no chance of becoming a writer. She later noted that the birth of her oldest son, Gabe, in 1997 changed her mind: "Once I had Gabe, I just wanted to be his mom." Before becoming an author, Meyer's only professional work was as a receptionist at a property company.
