Why I Reccomend This Book...
I would reccomend this book first off if you've read the first book Twilight than you will understand the intriging desire to know more about Edward and Bella. This book has a lot of twists and turns and it will not lose one bit of your attention, there is always somethiing happening. I personally love the Twilight series, I think it is a different view on vampires.
