Breaking Dawn

I have finished Eclipse (the third book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer) and am on pg.17 of the next book, Breaking Dawn.

In the end of Eclipse, it turned out the murderous vampire was indeed a clan lead by Victoria. She was still out to kill Bella and produced this clan of young ones for help. They weren’t adult vampires though; they were young children and infants. It amazed me how such young kids (even some toddlers) could have the physical strength to take out some of the La Push werewolves and the Cullens combined. That was their only strength though, the vampires may have had physical strength, but mentally they would always lose control, which caused many of them to die.

The vampires come towards Forks as Alice had predicted. It came down to an intense battle of Riley (part of the clan) and Victoria against Edward, Seth (werewolf), and Bella (who couldn’t contribute much). I knew that Edward and Seth would kill Victoria and Riley and they did effortlessly. Then, the Volturi stepped in to discuss the violent brawl. I thought it was an odd encounter.

In all of this chaos, Bella discovers she loves both Edward and Jacob and she has a hard time deciding whom to chose. She chose Edward because she can’t live without him and they’re already engaged. Bella will soon be transformed into a vampire too, but will she back out on that?

I almost wonder if Meyer will come up with some outrageous twist where Bella chooses Jacob instead of Edward or maybe Jacob will die OR Edward will almost kill Bella. At this point, it seems like anything’s possible.

Eclipse

I am still reading the book Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer of the Twilight series and I have read up to pg.332.

I will summarize for you what I’ve read so far…
Jacob tells Bella he loves her and it’s a shock to her. She doesn’t love Jacob back though, she loves Edward. Jacob still doesn’t want to accept that. Bella also learns that Jacob cannot age either, as well as Edward. The feeling that Jacob will be stuck at 16 and Edward at 18 makes Bella feel very old.

Later on someone mysterious invades Bella’s bedroom while she is gone at the Cullen’s house and takes clothes or random objects that have her scent on them. Bella and the Cullens believe that the recent murders in Seattle have to do with this and that those murders are also linked as vampires being the killers. Rosalie and Jasper Cullen both tell Bella more about their beginnings and what they came from. Jasper’s is very frightening. He says that a vampire clan he may of known from the South could be the vampire or vampire group murdering many in Seattle.

I wonder if Jasper may somehow be involved in the murders and that there could be some unexpected twist. That he was the one who went into Bella’s bedroom…I also think Jasper knows the people in this disastrous vampire clan or he is friend’s with one of them. Or maybe the Cullen family is rivals/enemies with this clan? And I wonder if this clan will invade Forks?

Eclipse

Right now, I'm reading the book Eclipse and have read up to pg.105. It's the third book of the newly popular Twilight series by author Stephenie Meyer.
In the beginning of Eclipse, Bella Swan already has to decide between one of her best friends, Jacob Black, who just happens to be a werewolf or the love of her life, Edward Cullen. She can't be friends with both of them because the vampires (Cullen’s) and the werewolves (Jacob and his friends) are enemies. Edward won't let Bella visit Jacob in La Push either. At the same time this is going on, mysterious killings are happening in Seattle that everyone is worried about. Bella seems to be living life okay, she is graduating soon, but thinking about that worries her because it means she’s steps closer to becoming a vampire.
One weekend, her and Edward go to Florida to visit Renee, Bella’s mother. Edward brought her to Florida because the evil vampire, Victoria, is back for Bella. He doesn’t want to worry her so he hides it from her, but then Jacob visits Bella one day at school and spills the beans. Bella becomes very worried, but the Cullen’s assure her she’ll be safe.

While reading, I noticed a certain quote said by Bella’s mother (while in Florida) that had me thinking.

“There’s something…strange about the way you two are together… The way he watches you—it’s so…protective. Like he’s about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save you or something” –Renee Dwyer

I wonder if Renee will get more suspicious of Edward and find out he’s a vampire. Or will Bella explain the vampire story to Renee and tell her Victoria’s out to kill her? I think that sooner or later, either Renee or Bella’s father, Charlie will find out…
