Time To Get Ready For 'Eclipse!'

Now that 'New Moon' has been released into theaters it has gotten rave reviews, and it topped the box office for well over two weeks.  And it also landed itself in third place for the movie to make the most in it's opening, marking itself in Hollywood history!

And now, as we wait for the release of the 'New Moon' DVD, it's time to get ready for the release of the third installement into the Twilight Saga.  Eclipse! This book takes yet another leap in the Saga as it intensifies the atcion and suspense, and the love connection between Edward and Bella. 

In the third book, Bella is throne threw more loops than in New Moon.  Even though Edward has returned, to Bella's joy, it has caused a conflict between her best friend Jacob Black.  She is torn between being with the love of her life, Edward Cullen, and wanting to be with her only close friend outside of the vampire world, Jacob Black. 

And as the book goes on she agonizingly realizes that she can not have everything that she wants, and there are sacrifices that she will just have to live with.  But that is not all the book of Eclipse holds.  In the third installement Seattle is ravaged by murders done by an unknown attacker, and the death toll is rising.  The Cullens grow suspicious of the activity, and they soon deduce that a group of newborns are running rampant in the rainy capital of Washington.  Things grow tense after it is discovered that an unknown vampire has been in Bella's rom and taken some of her things while she had been with Alice at the Cullens house.  And they are all wondering - Why haven't the Volturi come?

They realize that the only way to deal with these newborns is for them to intervene.  And it doesn't help that the group is moving in on the small town of Forks.  The Cullens ask for the aid of there friends from Alaska, but after the Quileute pack killed Tanya's lover Laurent, the only way they will help is if they are given permission to take revenge and destroy the pack.  This is something that the Cullens cannot allow, and they give up on getting help from the Alaskan coven.  With days left, Sam and the pack request to join forces with the Cullens, and without any other choice, Carlisle excepts...even though his strong nature wills him otherwise, he knows that he must kill these creatures.

And as the days before the battle unfolds, Bella finally figures out, on the day of graduation, who is leading the newborns.  The mate of her almost killer James.  Victoria.  And with this news coming to light, Edward grows even more tense then before at just the thought of Bella being in danger from only newborns.  But now they must contend with the blood thirsty revenge that Victoria longs for, to keep Bella safe.

The story is one of the greatest of the series, if not the best.  And it all ends...with a proposal.

Well, there is my long winded description of  Eclipse.  And don't take the description as the whole story...trust me, there are plenty of juicy parts that I didn't mention that you should sink your teeth into.

Happy reading, and Merry Christmas :-)
