BOOK REVIEW: Twilight Eclispe

'Bella? Edward's soft voice came from behind me. He pulled me tighter into his arms at once, and kissed me. His kiss frightened me. There was too much tension , too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine-like he was afraid we only had a matter of time left to us.'

Isabella Swan's graduation is fast approaching as Seattle is ravaged by mysterious killings and Victoria continues her search for revenge. With a difficult choice ahead for Bella, her best friend Jacob or boyfriend Edward, she has no idea who to choose. Bella is once again put in danger, along with the people she cares about most in life. When Bella's belongings go missing from her bedroom, the answer to the killings in Seattle becomes clear and once again the Cullens and Werewolves come together to risk their lives for her. The only thing is how can she survive the loss of Jacob and Edward? How can she just stand-by helplessly? What about Edward's conditions for changing Bella? As Jacob continues to fight until Bella's heart stops beating and Edward asks for her hand in marriage, Bella has her own conditions and one big decision to make. Life or death but what are the consequences? 

This story was exciting and unpredictable with twists and turns along the way. As Bella tries to make some of the toughest decisions of her human life, the story is made stronger. Her thoughts are powerful and emotional pulling you into the story and waiting on the decisions she will have to make. The bond between the Vampires and Werewolves could be so easily broken it keeps you reading, wondering if Bella's decision will cause a fight. I found that some scenes were a bit reluctant and could have been made more emotional. The Preface at the beginning of the Twilight novels instantly connect you to the books because you want to see what is going to happen to put these characters in this position. An exciting and unpredictable read from the Twilight Saga books!

REVIEW: Twilight New Moon!

 'Shoot' I muttered when the paper sliced my finger; I pulled it out to examine the damage. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut. It all happened very quickly then.

 "No!" Edward roared...Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm-into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires.

For Isabella Swan Edward Cullen is the one thing more important than life itself to her. Who, she is unconditionally in love with. Edward has already rescued Bella from one dangerous vampire, James, a tracker and as Bella wakes on her 18th Birthday, after a nightmare that shows her as a frail old women with Edward she realizes she will forever be older than Edward. Edward, forever seventeen. Bella is put under danger once again at a birthday party planned by Edward's adopted sister Alice, where she paper cuts her finger, in a room full of six thirsty vampires. It's clear that their daring relationship is more dangerous that Bella could imagine. So, when Edward announces his family is leaving Forks forever, leaving Bella behind she's heartbroken, it's the end of what could have possibly been forever. As her friendship with Jacob grows and she tries to stop the pain, someone is back for revenge.

This book was full of twists and turns in the plot when you were least expecting them. The way Stephenie Meyer describes Bella's pain is so realistic it makes you feel like you know her so well. The best part about this book was the fact it was from Bella's perspective when she going through all this pain and trying to make these decisions. It was perfectly paced for a book full of so much. The Preface at the beginning is gripping. It makes you have to continue reading so you can find out what happens to put Bella and Alice in this situation. The main factor that makes Twilight stories so realistic, is Bella's way of describing things, her emotions, feelings, decisions are exactly how any girl would deal with things(Maybe a bit more fear).

I have finished The Twilight Saga now! So all of the reviews are on the way! New Moon was my favourite-Team Jacob!!

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer: Review!

You're all shocked by this post, aren't you? If you have been a member of this blog for a while you may have realized I have a slight obsession. The Hunger Games! And yes I am now reading The Twilight Saga. Shocked? Then to make this more jaw-dropping I will say that I actually really enjoyed Twilight! I know, believe what you are reading, it's true!  Here's my review,

About three things I was absolutely positive.

First Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him-and I didn't know how dominant 

that part might be-that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably

 in love with him

When Isabella Swan moves to the small town of Forks in Washington she first lays eyes on Edward Cullen. Sitting in the corner of the cafeteria along with five others all chalky pale and dark eyes with bruise like shadows underneath them. All inhumanly beautiful. She looks up to find Edward's eyes fixated on her constantly and realises he is avoiding her in a class, where he pulls his chair as far away from her as you can get. Somehow Edward stops a car,hurtling towards Bella, when was too far away to reach her. When Bella spots the dent in the car, the same shape as his shoulder. Only after this near-death experience does she realize there's something different about the Cullens. They were Vampires and she was already unconditionally in love with Edward. But not normal Vampires, 'good' Vampires who don't hunt humans and drink their blood but satisfy their first by hunting animals. Before long they find themselves in an unlikely relationship but there's still a part of Edward that thirsts for Bella's blood. Her scent is just so delicious. And when Edward, who was born in 1918, is stuck in a seventeen year-old's body is there any way they can be together? How dominate is Edward's thirst? Is her scent to irresistible for Edward? and How much will this relationship put Bella and her family in?

This book really surprised me after getting mixed views from my friends. I was gripped to the story as Bella falls for vampire Edward and struggles to make the right decision. The PREFACE at the beginning instantly pulls you in as you want to know how Bella is facing her death. As the story goes on you follow Bella as she falls from Edward, it's like your reading her thoughts. It's a perfect romance novel. I would give this book a 9/10 review because it was written in American so I didn't completely understand what certain things were and this really annoys me in books! The ending chapters were exhilarating and I was literally on the edge on my seat but some parts lacked in excitement. I would recommend this book for ages 12+ as it's about vampire and characters face death in it. Which, would probably scare younger readers. Overall Twilight incredibly impressed me as it's an exhilarating, teenage romance novel with a twist! It is a great read for teenagers!

Of course Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2(the film) is out on November 16th. I'm now going to make my way through the films(My mum's got the box-set) ready to see Breaking Dawn. I felt like I was missing out not joining in with the excitement, and since there's still another 453 days till Catching Fire(Just saying..) I want to join in! Next on my list is the Divergent trilogy, which they're now making into a film!(Starts filming in March 2013)

Here's the trailer for the first Twilight(Nice snapshot!)

So yes, I really like The Twilight Saga! As much as The Hunger Games hmmmm....

Keep day dreaming!
