Breaking Dawn

Well a lot has happened since the last time I posted. I read New Moon, Eclipse, and I just finished reading Breaking Dawn. I really enjoyed reading Breaking Dawn, even though it is the last book in the series. I thought it summed everything up really well and didn't leave any loose ends at the end of the book.

I guess I will explain some of what happened in these three books.

In New Moon, Bella's birthday doesn't end too well when Jasper tries to attack her, which makes Edward think his family needs to leave Forks. They leave Forks and Bella can't stand it, so she turns to Jacob for support. Her and Jacob get closer and closer while Edward is away, but Bella finds out that Edward thinks she has died and he goes to Italy so the Volturi will kill him. When Edward realizes Bella is still alive, they return home and Edward vows that he will never leave Bella's side again. Bella puts the subject of her mortality and whether or not she should become a vampire to vote with the Cullens, and the majority of them say yes.

In Eclipse, Jacob decides he cannot be around Bella since Edward is back. Edward has also told Bella that he will turn her into a vampire himself if she agrees to marry him. She would love for Edward to do it himself, but she doesn't like the concept of getting married yet. Bella has also found out that Jacob has joined Sam's "gang", which is actually a pack of werewolves. Bella doesn't like Jacob being in that position and tries to make him leave and come back to the real world. Laurent comes back to find Bella so Victoria can come back and kill her, but he finds Bella and nearly kills her himself when Jacob and the other wolves come by. The wolves chase Laurent away and kill him, to Bella's surprise. The Cullens finally realize that they must fight Victoria and kill her, so when she comes looking (with a bunch of newborn vampires) Edward must fight and kill her himself. With the threat of other vampires shifted away from Bella, everyone seems much more comfortable. Bella finally agrees to marry Edward and Alice decides she must plan the wedding. Bella says yes, but under her own supervision.

In Breaking Dawn, Bella and Edward finally get married. While on their honeymoon on Isle Esme, Bella gets pregnant and they must go back home right away, because the baby is not any normal baby, it is half human-half vampire, which takes a big toll on Bella. When Bella nearly dies giving birth, Edward injects as much of his venom as possible into Bella's heart. Bella barely survives and is officially a vampire.

I won't give the ending of that one away, because it is too big. You'll just have to read the books to find out exactly what happens and how everything turns out.
