New Moon by Stephanie Meyer (2006)

I don't know how she does it, but again I feel like Stephanie Meyer has woven a unique tale. I know she has been compared to J.K. Rowling, but she hasn't quite created such an elaborate alternate world, as her world is still grounded in today's reality and everyone is trying hard to keep the magical and mystical aspects away from the regular humans. Bella again is thei very believable teenager, who is not only involved with vampires, but their archenemies the warewolves. This time the tale takes us to Italy, where we meet an old vampire family. All very fascinating.
