Breaking Dawn

Meyer, S. (2008). Breaking dawn. New York, NY: Little, Brown and Company.

Series Book – Twilight

Of all the books in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn was by far my favorite.  It is fast paced and a definite page turner.  It tells the story of Edward and Bella’s marriage, their unexpected pregnancy, the baby’s birth and Bella’s inevitable changing, and the war with the Volturi.  After becoming a vampire, Bella is able to project a shield of protection around those she loves, and this is ultimately what saves the Cullens and their friends from the Volturi.  Breaking Dawn is written with the most mature content compared to the other three novels, which some have criticized.  Nonetheless, it is an action packed conclusion to the beloved saga. 

Reading this series is what first helped me realize I actually enjoy reading paranormal stories, and I have enjoyed many books since then that I never would have read otherwise.  Stephanie Meyer is able to expertly take a typically corny vampire theme, and transform it into an enchanting romance, difficult to put down.
