1. What is going on in your book right now?

After spending a lot of time with Jacob, things have now changed. Jacob has mono, according to Billy, his father. Bella continuously tries to contact the Blacks to figure out when he will be better. She needs him to help cure the hole in her heart from Edward. His company had helped her get though the horrible nightmares she has every night. Eventually, Bella gets curious and drives to La Push to see what’s up. She is shocked to see Jacob with Sam Uley’s clan. Just a few weeks ago he had been telling her how much he despised him. She cannot believe that he cut his beautiful silky black hair and joined this group. Has she lost him to Sam Uley?

2. How do you feel about this book so far?

I love the Twilight Saga. In fact, I am re-reading this book to refresh my memory for the movie that comes out this Friday! I hope that the movie follows the plot, lives up to the expectations it has and impresses all. I believe that although this book has a darker viewpoint than Twilight it is still very well written and fits in well. It shows that life isn’t always sweet and sugary with relationships.

3. What is a theme in this book you have noticed?

A theme in this book that I have noticed is betrayal. At the end of Twilight, Edward promised that he would stay with Bella until it became unsafe for her. After the birthday incident with Jaspar, the Cullens move on. Edward explains to her in the woods shortly before they depart that Carlisle can barely pass for his age and they needed to start over soon anyways. Before departing, he demanded that she promise one thing, to stay safe. Bella notices that she can hear Edward’s velvet voice in her head whenever she breaks this promise. One of those times being when she goes to Jacob and rides on his motorcycle. The relationship of Edward and Bella has deteriorated due to betrayal.

4. Who is your favorite character?

At the moment my favorite character is Charlie. His minor character has tried to be the loving father character thoughout Twilight and New Moon. He is devastated when Edward departs, leaving him to pick up the pieces of his heart-broken daughter. After a period of time allowing Bella to mope around, he tells her “enough-is-enough” and pleads with her to do something. This suggestion leads her to noticie that Jacob is a medicine for the rugged hole in her heart.

5. Who is your least favorite character?

My least favorite character is Jacob. Bella has been trying to contact him for a long period of time and all he does is ignore her. Even if he had decided to stop hanging out with her, it would be kind to call and tell her he was okay. I believe the way he handled the situation he is in with Bella was poor. Eventually she would get suspicious about what happened to him.

6. What do you think will happen next?

Unfortunately, I did read this book last year, but I will “predict” what I remember happening next. I believe that after Bella’s situation with Jacob smooths over, Alice arrives. Bella is so happy to see her that she doesn’t realize that she has come for something in particular. Edward is in trouble, he is traveling to Italy in hopes that he will upset the Volterra to the point where he is killed. Bella cannot believe what she is hearing. Soon afterwards, Alice and Bella race out of the country to try to stop Edward.
