Bella Swan is still deeply in love with Edward Cullen, and when he and is "family" decide to move away, it sends Bella's life into a tailspin.
After a few months of living in a daze, she partially emerges and tries to connect with people around her again, but life without her vampire leaves her with a huge hole in her chest.
The only person able to make Bella feel slightly normal is Jacob, a native American, obviously in love with Bella, but willing to be her friend. But Jacob has problems and secrets of his own that will affect Bella's life.
To top it all off, there are still those out there who would hurt Bella.
The main reason I like these books is that they are romantic without being sickening and tell about vampire's without being gorey. Stepenie Meyer certainly knows how to keep you turning the pages.
