Breaking Dawn by: Stephenie Meyer


Series--Twilight Saga #4


Rating--4 1/2 out of 5 stars


Comments on my rating--Best in series with the perfect balance between myth, action and love.


Summary--The final book in the saga is divided into three incredible parts: book one is from Bella's view on her honeymoon with Edward and she definitely gets a surprise; book two is from Jacob's view while Bella struggles and his life trembles until it is redefined; book three is once again from Bella's view and tells of her new life and a building war with the Volturi, a council of vampires who enforce the law.
