1 About this book

Bella Swan is nearing her high-school graduation in Forks, Washington, and has decisions to make. She is back with Edward Cullen, the vampire she loves, and she refuses to give up her friendship with Jacob Black, who can change into a wolf and whose people are the vampires' old enemies. Meanwhile Seattle is suffering a string of unexplained murders, and a vampire with a grudge against Bella is still hunting her. Eclipse, published in 2007, is the third novel in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, after New Moon and before Breaking Dawn.

2 What to expect

The third Twilight novel: Bella is caught between Edward and Jacob while a wave of vampire attacks in Seattle draws closer to her. The love triangle is the heart of it, argued out in long conversations, with more of the history of the vampires and the wolf pack and a confrontation toward the close. It is long, romantic and slow in its first half, and it assumes the first two books.

Good for readers who want: paranormal romance, a love triangle, and the next chapter of Twilight.
