    New Moon

    Stephenie Meyer

    563 pages

    When the Cullens, including her beloved Edward, leave Forks rather than risk revealing that they are vampires, it is almost too much for eighteen-year-old Bella to bear, but she finds solace in her friend Jacob until he is drawn into a "cult" and changes in terrible ways.

    Despite being a fan of the Twilight saga, I found Midnight Sun to be awful, repetitive, and boring, lacking any sexual tension. It was disappointing even for someone who has fond memories of the original series.
