Stephenie Meyer se licenci� en Literatura Inglesa en la Brigham Young University. Es autora de la serie best seller Crep�sculo, de la que se han vendido 155 millones de libros en todo el mundo. En 2008 public� The Host, su primera novela para adultos, que entr� directamente en el n�mero uno de las listas de m�s vendidos de The New York Times y The Wall Street Journal y fue llevada al cine en 2013. Meyer vive con su marido y sus tres hijos en Arizona.
On Bella's 18th birthday, Edward Cullen sweeps her off to his unorthodox family home (in the first book readers learn that the Cullens are vampires who hunt animals rather than humans) for a birthday celebration. But when Bella unwraps a gift and gets a paper cut, her drops of blood set off a chaos that culminates in the Cullens leaving town. Edward exits on page 73, and does not reappear for nearly 400 pages, except for his voice in Bella's head when she embarks on dangerous adventures, such as motorcycle riding and cliff diving. Instead, this book focuses on Jake, her friend from La Push, who has some unusual traits of his own. A Quileute legend that he confides in Bella in the first book comes to the fore here (and ties in with the title), and Bella is tracked down by the "bad" vampires from the first book, who seek revenge. [This is the second installment of Meyer's best-selling series, Twilight, which is quite popular in Spanish. This movie tie-in edition will likely be in demand.-Ed.] [PW 7/17/06] Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
