I've never read Midnight Blue so I'm not really sure. But if there's a vampire falling in love with a girl and then problems ensuing in Midnight Blue, then it's similar.

I am a huge fan of the books, and i cannot wait until the fourth one comes out. I heard it was her last though which totally sucks big time. To be honest the reason i like the book so much is because you can really get lost in it. I mean this is the first time that i have actually felt a part of any book before. I mean when Edward left Bella for example, when i was reading it, i felt for that character. And i think that's what makes a really good author. Someone who can make the reader feel like they are in the book watching the events happen as they go. And the plot is outstanding! Like Beck said, in the first one, there was way to much lovey dovey stuff. There's was really no substance to the love. So that kinda bugged me. It was almost like every other teenage relationship these days. They think that their in love, but it's just a fling and it's over before you know it lol. But after awhile we kind of see that there is way more to it than that. And i totally agree. I thought the third one was the best. I loved the idea that the vampires and wolves had to work together for once. It was really cool. It's so funny because everyone i talk to likes Edward so much better than Jacob. I don't lol. I love Jacob. It's kinda hard to choose which one i like better though because they both have really good qualities and really bad ones too. I hate how overprotective Edward is for Bella. Alright i know he loves her and i know he doesn't want Jacob to flip out on her and her hurt, but honestly let the girl go just alittle bit lol. Jacob was her friend and Edward had no right to try and take her away from him. But on the other hand, Jacob should never have tried to force himself on Bella. That was definitely a no no. So they both have some issues that need to be settled lol. But in the long run, i think Jacob is the best guy for her. Don't get me wrong, i mean yeah he did force himself on her, but think about the things he did do for her. He helped her through so much when she really needed someone...and Edward wasn't there. And honestly, could Edward and Bella really have a perfect future together? She would have to change into a vampire to live with him forever, but being with Jacob, she wouldn't have to do that. She could live a normal life with him. That's just what i think about the whole love triangle. I want it to be Jacob for her in the end, but i know it's gonna be Edward. And i kinda want it to be because if it is Edward, then that means that Bella could become a vampire. Do you know how cool that would be? To follow her through her transformation. SWEET! lol Okay, and about the stars playing the characters. I'm really happy with their choice for Bella. Kristin is perfect! I wanted it to be either her or that girl from Lemony Snicket. For Edward...i don't know, i kinda pictured someone else. I don't know who, but not Robert. They did choosing Alice too. Nikki Reed is definitely not my idea of Rosalie. I really wanted Stephenie Meyer's choice to come through for that one...Olivia Wilde i think that was her name. She would have been perfect. Jasper and Emmett are both perfect. The actor that plays Jasper is a super cutie. I'm so excited to see Elizabeth for Esme. She was amazing in Greys. And finally, Jacob. I was wondering who they were going to choose for him and i was hoping it would be Steven Strait (Warren from Sky High), but it's not. Which is okay because the guy they chose is perfect. He's got the tan skin, looks pretty buff, and he looks like he'd be tall. So yeah, the only one i really have a problem with is Rosalie. I really hope the movie is good though. I'd be really disappointed. But the movies are hardly ever as good as the books so. Blood and Chocolate...prime example.

Seriously you like Jacob? The guy who is downright horrid to her boyfriends despite the fact that Edward tries to be civil. Edward may be overprotective but look how much trouble Bella gets herself in AND werewolves are dangerous when upset or angry. He was overbearing yes but not for no reason. Then there is how Jacob forced himself on her TWICE, emotionally blakcmailing her every chance he gets. He is imo a jerk. Plus since he isn't imprinted on Bella he could imprint on someone else, and he knows there IS someone out there that he is destined to be imprinted on - thus knowing he would be giving up Bella in a second should he meet her. Selfish, unrespectful ass imo.

I just finished reading New Moon. I definitely enjoyed it better than Twilight. The main problem I had with Twilight was how fast Bella fell in love with Edward. It was "Oh I love you! I die without you" from the beginning and it was difficult to understand how she got that way with a virtual stranger. It just seemed too quick for her to fall in love with Edward. Because of that, I found Bella's depression in New Moon unrealistic. However, there were times in the book where I really felt for Bella, especially when she thought she lost Jacob to Sam. I was rooting for her to be better and I enjoyed her relationship with Jacob. I actually quite liked Jacob in New Moon. Sure there are times where I thought Jacob should back off and respect Bella's space (and stop acting like a jealous boyfriend) but part of it, I think, is Bella's fault. She shouldn't have led him on. There were many times where Bella used him so I don't quite blame him for acting the way he did. Bella should have been clear with him from the beginning what their relationship is and where the lines are. I kinda prefer Jacob over Edward to be honest. Edward rubs me the wrong way. I don't really like how he is with Bella. He comes across as bossy whenever he's with her and there are times where I felt that he doesn't respect Bella's decision in certain things. I don't know. It's hard to explain but I don't really like Edward all that much. I would probably only get Eclipse next month as I'm in the process of saving money for it.

Ahaha, something similar is what I'm thinking. My friend and I are going to go as Jacob's Bella and Edward's Bella- I'm going to wear something blue (AND SPARKLY XD) to be Edward's (ice) and she's going to wear something red to be Jacob's (fire). We're clever no?
