Categories: fantasy, romance
The Twilight series continues when Bella and Edward get married and Bella becomes prego and reproduces Renesmee at the cost of her human life. She then, in Jacob’s words has an "emergancie vampireization" and becomes a vamp. Jacob imprints on "nessie" and Bella gets mad. The volturie find out about Renesmee and come to destroy her. In the end everyone's fine! And they all live happily ever after.
This is my favorite book ever!!! My favorite character is Renesmee because she sounds sooo adorable!! Read it and you'll love it!

This book is about the change Bella Swan goes through when she gets married to a vampire. She goes through a series of unthinkable events in a fantasy world where vampires and werewolves are real.
I loved this book, but I also thought that it could have been improved. There was no sacrifice on any of the characters parts, and it didn't seem hard enough for them. You definitely should read the entire Twilight saga. It is very good.

The third and final installment in the epic love story between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. The loose ends come together, fans of Jacob, Edward, Bella and everyone in between have someone/something to cheer about, cry about, laugh about and "want-to-throw-the-book-across-the-room" about. Characters from the three previous books make reappearances (except the ones who died, and even they are mentioned) The moment all the fans have been waiting for finally happens, there's an unexpected bundle of...well... Even Jacob fans (I am one myself) won't be disappointed, as everyone's favorite shaggy wolf is happy at the end.
This was the best end of a series I have ever read. Ms. Meyer tied up everything, left me with no questions. I have to say she beat out J.K. Rowling on her finale. My biggest regret and disappointment about the book was that it was too good to put down, so I finished it quickly, with none left to look forward to. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Stephenie Meyer out did herself! Wish I could give it more stars!

This is the final chapter of Bella's life as WE know it. She finally has what she always wanted: Edward, and she's on her way to life as a bloodsucker. Little does she know that getting there would be way more challenging then she ever expected.
You will find so many twists and suprises in this book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. There are so many things that you would never expect. This saga is definately up on my favorites list next to Harry Potter.

This book is the fourth in the Twilight saga. Edward and Bella get married, they have a kid with a stupid name of Renesmee. Bella goes ballistic when she finds out Jacob imprinted on her daughter and nicknamed her after the Lochness monster. Irina (random character no one cares about) is killed. Sad day. But in the end everything is happy.
I thought this book was terrible. It was a sad disappointment. It was too happy. There should have been a fight. The only parts I enjoyed in this book was when Edward was in agony, that was hilarious and I liked Jacob’s chapters. Bella was driving me insane. She is annoying. This book has a terrible moral; in the real world when you get married at 18, have a kid, and skip college everything will not turn out right.

More fun than throwing up, but not much.
