New Moon is a young adult romance novel by author Stephenie Meyer. It is Meyer's second novel in the Twilight series. This book, unlike the previous entry, is about losing true love.[2] It was originally published in hardcover in 2006.

Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan is thrown an eighteenth birthday party by Alice and Edward Cullen, the vampire she loves, and the rest of their vampire family. While unwrapping a gift, she receives a paper cut. Jasper, the newest member of the family to attempt a non-human diet, lunges for Bella, overwhelmed by the scent of blood. Edward leaps between Jasper and Bella, shoving her backward. Bella crashes into a pile of plates, breaking them and cutting her arms on the shattered crystal. Edward and his family protect Bella, but the realization of the danger Bella faces due to her proximity to vampires terrifies him. Carlisle reveals that Edward believes vampires are soulless creatures who will not experience an afterlife. Edward constantly struggles with his relationship with Bella because he does not wish to turn Bella into a "soulless monster" like himself. Edward convinces Bella that he doesn't love her anymore, though he is lying, and he and his family depart from Forks in an attempt to keep her safe. [Wiki]
