New Moon is the second novel in the Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, which includes Twilight, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

• "Fans of the first novel may be disappointed that Edward is hardly in this one at all. But the target audience, teen girls, won't mind.

• "Meyer deepens and enriches her mythology, introducing new families and races that complicate Bella and Edward's story. If readers have any complaint about New Moon, it will be that the story, at least for the middle 400 pages, doesn't have enough magic"—Teen ReadsTeenReads: New Moon Review
