Review

New Moon is the second book in a trilogy and follows smoothly on from where the first book {twilight} left off.

The book focuses on Bella as she tries to come to terms with the loss of her relationship with Edward, and how she finds strength in a new friendship with Jacob Black. Meyer manages to tie themes of relationship issues in with vampires and werewolves as seamlessly here as in the first book.

Jacob was my favourite character – and when it became easy to see a love triangle developing I was definitely rooting for him!

The book moves along at a swift pace and sweeps you along with it to the extent that it becomes completely believable that these fantasical characters exist – although I was slightly put out by the group of tourists who were destined to become thirst quenchers!

All in all it’s a very enjoyable and easy read – and it’s Young Adult status shouldn’t put off any older readers. I’ve moved onto the third book in the series already!
