This is the second book of the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. Edward and Bella have been together for almost a year now and it’s Bella’s birthday. Edward invites her to his house for dinner, presents, visiting, and a full out party planned by his sister Alice. Leave it up to her to make everything ever so special! She goes all out for this surprise! So Bella goes to the house for the party and everything goes severely wrong!

As she tries to open her present from Edward and Alice, she cuts her finger on the wrapping paper. Five of her friends and the love of her life all regain the blood lust instantly! Everyone but Jasper, Edward’s ‘brother’ control themselves. Jasper tries to attack Bella; but Edward jumps on her and shields her from him. She instantly paralyzed by fear. As they fly across the room they hit the table that holds the presents, cake, and glass dishes and cups.

The plates and glasses fall on her and put a gash in her arm that drives Jasper crazy! Emmett, Rosalie and Esme, Edward’s brother, sister, who’s Emmett’s fiancé, and mother, get Jasper outside as fast as they can. While Carlisle, Edward’s father, gets ready to work on stitching Bella up, Edward carries her to the kitchen, and Alice gets Carlisle’s bag. The surgery goes over well, but after that Edward feels bad for reacting the way he did. The thirst got to him so bad, that he almost fed on the girl of his dreams!

He acts this way for a week or two, then Bella tells him they need to talk and to meet her after she goes to work. He says no. The next day he tells her that he will come to her house before she gets home and wait for her to return. He sticks to his word. He takes her into the forest and tells her that his whole family is gone and he stayed behind only to tell her they were leaving.

He gives her more information, kisses her forehead, tells her he will always love her, and leaves. Just like that. She searches for him in the forest in a panic; but it starts to get dark and Bella starts tripping over shrubbery on the forest floor. She loses her balance one time completely and stays there; curled up in a little ball. Her father sends a search party for her and a man named Sam Uley finds her, in the same position, in the dark woods. He takes Bella back to the crowd that’s waiting for her to be rescued. Sam tells her father that the only words from her mouth have been, “He’s gone. He’s gone,” and she has been looking around frantically looking for something that apparently wasn’t there. Charlie, Bella’s father, knew exactly what had happened! He didn’t know why Edward left, but he knew he did.

Months went by and Bella stayed in a depressed state. Her grades stayed up and she went to work, did all her household chores and did her best to look a little happier than she was; but nothing worked. So Charlie threatened to send her back to her mother in Jacksonville, Florida. How could she remember Edward in a bright, happy place like that when he was her dream in a rainy place like Forks? She wouldn’t go. She dealt with the pain; waking up every night screaming from the nightmares, memories, everything. So she made up a plan to go against what Edward had told her; to be safe and careful in Forks with him gone. She was going to make him realize that she couldn’t live without him since he wouldn’t take her word for it!

So as always, read the book and find out more if this sounds interesting. I’m not finished with the book yet so I can’t tell you more. This is absolutely the best series in history though! I love these books! They are love stories and suspenseful at the same time! I learned that you can’t stop love, no matter what the circumstances be! I recommend everyone I know who likes love stories read the Twilight series! I love them and I know you will too!
