Eclipse is the follow up to New Moon. After Bella and Edward make it home a lot, they're back together for good. The only real problem at first is the conflict between vampires and werewolves, particularly Edward and Jacob, and Bella doesn't know what to do. She doesn't want to lose Jacob or Edward.

It takes another issue to forget about all that for a bit. James, the vampire that nearly killed Bella in Twilight, is about to be revenged when his girlfriend, Victoria, comes back seeking to kill Bella. Suddenly everything turns chaotic and it causes the vampires and werewolves to join together to save lives. Keeping her under constant watch, Edward and Jacob keep Bella safe, but both still despise each other. Soon Jacob can't stop his true feelings for Bella anymore and she's forced to pick either her true love or her best friend ever.

Who will Bella choose? Will she even get to with the vengeful vampire chasing after her? Read Eclipse to find out! Recommended to everyone.

VICTORIA RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!suspense is coming because Bella finds out that Victoria is making a newborn army (gasp!!!!!) to revenge James after his death and Victoria thinks to get revenge it is mate for mate so Bella is #1 on Victoria's hit list among the Victoria Bella is missing her sunshiney best friend Jacob but he is growing more jealos of Edward
there is suspense, love, and confusion # 3 of the best book series

This book was wonderful; I have to admit that at least. Stephenie Meyer was fabulous once again, and the story, plot, characters: all so exhilarating. Yet, I also have a hate relationship with this book simply because of the whole Jacob/Bella thing.

Read it, of course, after reading the first two. It'll take your breath away. And despite the fact that I absolutely despise Jacob, I couldn't hold tears back nearing the end of the book, which says a lot about Meyer's writing ability.

Fabulous, fabulous book :)

If you liked the first two you'll love this one, I 'm gonna make this short and to the point, I hate Jacob, yep, short and to the point, in the second one, he gets Bella, then when edward come home, he's a jerk, well, it's continued, he's hurting Bella, and doesn't care, just as long as he gets his kiss, I hate him, he makes me scream, and in the end when he says he'll be the one to stop pulling because he truly cares, he's not stopping! But, of course we all know Edward would do the same thing if Bella asked and he'd go he wouldn't make Bella feel bad, in fact, unlike Jacob, he'd actually be happy about her decision, he'd be happy because she's happy, even if it's not him! Jacob isn't happy because she's happy, he could care less! So, in the end, I hate Jacob!

If you've read the first two, you'll love this. We finally get some background on the mysterious Jasper Hale, who's my fave Cullen. You a glimpse inside of Rosalie Hale's head and see why she can't stand Bella all that much.

We also get...action! Yes, we have a major finale in this book and it will blow your socks off. You will love it because the Cullen's are known for being lovers and not fighter but in Eclipse, they get down and dirty.

Bella and Edward and tested yet again with their love. This time with the help of teenage wolves. And it is all because of Victoria, the vampire who lost her mate in the first book. In the past, Victoria would strike and run but now she's going to be in the real battle. And Edward is willing to do anything to protect Bella.
In this book, the loving vampires join forces with Jacob's tribe of "Wolves." And with this unexpected group, they actually find themselves liking it (well, at least SOME of them do) and it creates special bonds between the enemies.
Join Bella, Jacob, Edward and the rest of the Cullens in this amazing tale of love surviving anything. It's a GREAT read. Stephenie Meyer may just be one of the best writers of our generation.

Bella believes that she wants to be a vampire, but she must fight with herself to make sure that's what she really wants. There have been many killings in Seattle and, once again, Bella is in danger. Graduation is right around the corner and she is faced with the hardest decision of her life -- life or death? And which is which?I found that this book had me laughing at a lot more compared to the other books and that story seem to move in a more constant flow than New Moon because both Edward and Jacob in the entire story and equally affect Bella.

Ah,yes, the gang is back. Or should I say the clans and packs are back? Anyway you say it, you get the same effect. In the third book in the Twilight saga, Bella faces death, again. Plus, two "men" are in love with her. What is she to do? Obvouisly almost cause death to them both, the usual.
In this one we find out more about Rosalie's past and Jasper's as well. Which, makes you like Rosalie a little more. And the moment Edward had been waiting for finally happened, Bella said yes to his marrige preposal.
This one is probably my second favorite in the seris. It has a surprise ending and makes you really wonder what will happen in the final *sob* book *sob*.
