"I love it!"

JMInfo | Nov 23, 2009 |

I enjoyed this book more than the second. It was nice to see Edward and Jacob playing nice together. There wasn't as much suspense as in the first book I don't think. It was more about the relationships between Bella and Jacob, and Bella and Edward. I wasn't as hooked reading this book as I have been with previous ones. (

Ask any high school girl: boys can be a pain. Fall for one who seems appealing, and he turns out to be a monster. One moment he acts like you don’t exist, the next, he drives you crazy by playing it cool — while his brothers circle you with hungry eyes. If you take a break to cut the tension, and hang out “just friends”-style with a younger guy who’s puppy-dogging you, what happens? Wouldn’t you know, he turns out to be a nightmare too.

Epigraph

Fire and Ice

--

Some say the world will end with fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

-- Robert Frost

Dedication

To my husband, Pancho,

for your patience, love, friendship, humor,

and willingness to eat out.

And also to my children, Gabe, Seth, and Eli,

for letting me experience the kind of love

that people freely die for.

First words

All our attempts at subterfuge had been in vain.
