Eclipse

The last Twilight book until August, "Eclipse" by Stephenie Meyer, did not disappoint. Edward has agreed to make Bella a vampire if she'll marry him. But, of course, before that can happen, there is drama. Victoria, the vampire mate of James, who was after Bella in "Twilight" and who Edward killed, is after Bella to avenge James. She creates a team of newborn vampires to serve as her army. After they wreck havoc on Seattle, they come after Bella. Edward's family, the Cullenses, team up with Jacob's werewolf pack to kill Victoria and her army. There are some hilarious scenes with Jacob and Edward sparring, both verbally and physically, for Bella.
Most of the time it doesn't bother me that I'm not the type of woman men immortalize in song or poetry, or fight over, but sometimes, after reading books like these, I'm jealous.
