Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

Rating: 5.0

What it's about:
To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fate of two tribes hangs.

Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life--first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse--seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed....forever?

My thoughts:
Breaking Dawn is a great conclusion to a great series. While there was not as much action in this fourth book of the Twilight series, it was never boring. There were a lot of internal struggles going on....especially with Bella. All the characters I've come to love, plus some very interesting new ones, are here and dealing with some pretty serious situations. I was very happy with the outcome of this story. I am a little sad now that's it's over though. I'm really going to miss these characters.
