Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

 

Summary: When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.

Review: It took me 4 months to read this book so honestly, I don't remember much about it. However, the ending was a complete let down. The whole last quarter of the book was about how the Volturi was coming and there was going to be this big battle. Well, *spoiler* there was no battle. The Volturi come, they talk, things get tense and they prepare to fight, then....they leave. It was so anti-climactic and I'm disappointed. I wanted a fight. I wanted loss. Nope. None of that. Nothing.
