"'Bella?' Edward's soft voice came from behind me. I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, just like he had in the parking lot, and kissed me again. This kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine— like he was afraid we had only so much time left to us."
Release Date: August 2007
Summary: The Cullens are back in this sequel to New Moon, and it soon becomes painfully apparent that the vampire world will forever be apart of Bella's.
When a sudden spike in violent murders paralyzes nearby Seattle, Bella and the Cullens immediately realize the true nature of the crimes: another coven of vampires-- a very large coven, measuring by the number of deaths-- has once again invaded Washington. Could they be somehow related to the smaller coven that had targeted Bella two years previously?
This question is answered when the attacks move closer to home, and Bella returns to her room one night to discover that someone had torn it apart in search of her. What's more disturbing, however, is that Alice could not see it coming-- meaning that whoever was behind these murders, whoever was behind the raid of Bella's house, knew about the Cullens' psychic gifts, and worse, knew how to evade them.
In the midst of this terrifying mystery, Bella is also caught in the middle of an ancient war between vampires and werewolves. Her dedication to Jacob and her love for Edward clash as the two compete for her affection. Bella struggles to remain neutral, to love both her vampire family and werewolf friends equally, but the two parties make it nearly impossible, resulting in a final battle that changes the entire course of the story.
As the third installment in the Twilight saga, Eclipse brings the series to an exhilarating cresendo in which Bella is forced to face the realities of the vampire/werewolf feud while simultaneously fighting to escape the seemingly unstoppable wrath of an elusive army of vampires-- an army whose ultimate target is Bella. The daunting question remains: why?

Twilight Trivia: What does Meyer think is the most pivotal plot development in Eclipse? Well, as she explains in her FAQ section, "In both Twilight and New Moon, Bella commits to becoming a vampire without once really examining what price she'll pay. In Eclipse, Bella fully comprehends that price. And then she chooses to pay it. Every aspect of the novel revolves around this point, every back story, every relationship, every moment of action."
