New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

It’s a tale similar to that of Romeo and Juliet. Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Circumstances prohibit boy and girl from being together. One cannot live without the other.

Since Twilight, Bella Swan survived a vampire attack and has settled into a happy loving relationship with her boyfriend Edward. But as fate would have it, Edward himself is a vampire. While Bella has prepared herself and is ready for life as a vampire, Edward will not have it. A paper cut and Bella’s clumsiness at her birthday party almost provide her with her birthday wish, courtesy of Edward’s brother. Edward can’t live with his part in Bella’s close encounter and would rather break up with Bella than risk her human life again. Edward and his family leave town and Bella is so heartbroken that she isn’t herself for months. Four months after the breakup, Bella finally snaps out of her funk and begins spending time with Jacob Black. The pair has become inseparable but Bella can’t allow herself to be more than just his friend. While Jacob seems to understand Bella better than anyone, she can’t explain to him why she is so interested in the adrenaline rush she gets from learning to ride motorcycles and cliff diving. Jacob makes her happy but the rush brings Edward’s voice into her head, warning her to be careful. And if she can’t be with Edward, she’ll have to settle for just hearing his voice. But Bella isn’t the only one with a secret. Jacob senses something strange happening with some of the teen boys in his tribe and soon he is also acting strange and avoiding Bella. The boys are werewolves, protectors who keep the vampires at bay. So it seems, Bella has an attraction for monsters and danger. And the danger Edward was trying to keep Bella from is only beginning.
