Plot Summary
New Moon picks up where Twilight left off. Bella Swan, a human girl, is in love with Edward Cullen, a vampire who can read minds.
They live in Forks, a small town in Washington, where Edward and his family pretend to be humans and feed on animal blood.
On Bella's eighteenth birthday, Edward's brother Jasper tries to attack her when he smells her blood from a paper cut. Edward feels guilty and decides to leave Bella for her own safety, telling her that he doesn't love her anymore.
Bella is heartbroken and falls into a deep depression. She finds some comfort in her friendship with Jacob Black, a Native American boy who lives on the nearby reservation.
Jacob has a crush on Bella, but she only sees him as a friend. She also discovers that whenever she does something dangerous or reckless, she can hear Edward's voice in her head, warning her to stop.
She becomes addicted to this sensation and starts seeking more thrill-seeking activities, such as riding a motorcycle and jumping off a cliff.
