Please read Twilight first--this is a series that does not do "stand-alone" well. Bella is once more a wonderfully-portrayed awkward teen who feels so real and alive, as if she could leap off the page and into my living room. I also fell in love with the Pacific Northwest all over again and appreciate the dignity of the portrayal of the American Indian characters.

Supposedly this is a young adult series, but it is enthralling for us old folks on so many different levels. To those who think it merely a love story, please try to read it. Love is the enduring theme, but not just romantic love, and one thing I appreciate most is it is a series that has a strong moral sense running throughout.

I'm grateful I sprang for hardcover on these, as they belong on my keeper shelf.
