The second book in the series, New Moon I loved in New Zealand but I reread at home and didn't like as much as the first one. I will admit to being addicted to them, when I first read them but on second reading I wasn't so sure. I think Meyer's writing gets annoying, in the first one you can't tell what nationality she is but in the rest of the books she writes with an annoying American edge.
The second one starts off with The Cullen's hosting a birthday party for Bella(who has this really annoying habit of being so over modest that in my view she offends everyone in her life and becomes tedious to readers.) , where she gets a paper cut and Jasper ( one of the Cullen aka vampire brothers) tries to kill her. After this near fatal incident, the Cullen family decide to leave Falkes.
This leads to what seems like a million chapters of Bella feeling depressed and introduces a minor charater from the first book who becomes a major character Jacob ( I hate him, he's the boring moral one). I don't really remember what he does in this book, so I won't write about him.
Edward thinks that Bella has commited suicide, so goes to Italy to try and have the Volturi ( the vampire monarchy) kill him. Alice, Edward's sister and Bella go to Italy to find Edward. When the Volutri finds out that Bella, a human knows their secret, they order her to be killed or be turned into a vampire. The Cullen family then vote to have Bella turned into a vampire but at a latter date.
