MOON

I FELT LIKE I WAS TRAPPED IN
ONE OF THOSE TERRIFYING NIGHTMARES…the one
where you have to run, run till your lungs burst,
but you can't make your body move fast enough ...
But this was no dream, and unlike the nightmare,
I wasn't running for my life; I was racing to save
something infinitely more precious. My own life
meant little to me today.
For Bella Swan, there is one thing
more important than life itself: Edward Cullen.
But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous
than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has
already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil
vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens
all that is near and dear to them, they realize
their troubles may be just beginning. . . .

Not since TV's Buffy "the Vampire Slayer"
Summers battled demons in the halls of Sunnydale
High has a teenager faced the number of monsters
that Bella Swan does in Meyer's melodramatic sequel
to Twilight. Bella's vampire boyfriend Edward and
his unusual clan are joined by an ancient pack of
werewolves-also with connections to Bella-in a story
that's got romance, adventure, thrills and even
a quick detour to Italy. Thanks to Kadushin's (who
also read Twilight) consistently smooth delivery
and her plausibility as a teen navigating heartbreak,
hormones and confusion, listeners are likely to
hang on for the many fever-pitch moments of suspense
here, even if the lengthy tale could have used some
pruning. Ages 12-up. (Oct.)
