1 About this book

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the threat from which the fate of two tribes hangs. Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life -- first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse -- seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed forever?

2 What to expect

The fourth and last Twilight novel, in three parts, the middle one told by Jacob: Bella and Edward marry, and what follows puts her life and both families in danger. Marriage, family and Bella's long-debated choice about her own mortality are its subjects, and it is the strangest and most divisive book of the series, with some disturbing physical detail. It is very long, and it gathers a large cast for its conclusion.

Good for readers who want: the final chapter of Twilight, vampire romance, and an epic read.
