Eclipse (en español) by Stephenie Meyer

From Barnes & Noble

Stephenie Meyer's vampire romance escalates to an exciting conclusion in this trilogy clincher. As in Twilight and New Moon, Seattle is still wracked by mysterious killings and poor Bella is still split between her love for vampire Edward and her friendship with werewolf Jacob. Choices and new dangers loom. A convincing capstone for a reader favorite series.

From the Publisher

Vida o muerte. Pero, ¿cuál es cuál?

Bella se encuentra de nuevo en peligro: una serie de misteriosos asesinatos está sembrando el pánico en la localidad y hay un ser maligno tras ella, sediento de venganza. Además, tendrá que elegir entre su amor por Edward y su amistad con Jacob, consciente de que su decisión podrá desencadenar definitivamente la guerra entre vampiros y hombres lobo. Mientras, se va acercando su graduación y tendrá una decisión más que tomar: vida o muerte. Pero, ¿cuál es cuál?

Stephenie Meyer se licenció en Filología Inglesa en la universidad de Brigham Young.

La publicación de su primera novela, Crepúsculo, traducida ya a más de 20 idiomas y número uno en las listas de ventas, la perfiló como una de las autoras más prometedoras de la nueva narrativa fantástica americana. La segunda y tercera partes de la saga fueron su consolidación: Luna Nueva también alcanzó el número uno de ventas y Eclipse (que lleva más de 1.000.000 de ejemplares vendidos en EE.UU.) destronó a Harry Potter en las listas la misma semana de su aparición.

Stephenie reside felizmente en Phoenix, Arizona, junto con su marido y sus tres hijos pequeños.

Publishers Weekly

The legions of readers who are hooked on the romantic struggles of Bella and the vampire Edward will ecstatically devour this third installment of the story begun in Twilight, but it's unlikely to win over any newcomers. Jake, the werewolf met in New Moon, pursues Bella with renewed vigilance. However, when repercussions from an episode in Twilightplace Bella in the mortal danger that series fans have come to expect, Jake and Edward forge an uneasy alliance. The plot patterns have begun to show here, but Meyer's other strengths remain intact. The supernatural elements accentuate the ordinary human dramas of growing up. Jake and Edward's competition for Bella feels particularly authentic, especially in their apparent desire to best each other as much as to win Bella. Once again the author presents teenage love as an almost inhuman force: "[He] would have been my soul mate still," says Bella, "if his claim had not been overshadowed by something stronger, something so strong that it could not exist in a rational world." According to Meyer, the fourth book should tie up at least the Edward story, if not the whole shebang. Ages 12-up. (Aug.)

School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up -In Stephenie Meyer's sequel (Little, Brown, 2006) to New Moon (Little, Brown, 2006) and the third title in her popular vampire series, Edward and Bella are back and the sexual tension between them has grown even stronger as Bella prepares to graduate from high school and enter into her new life as a vampire. But what about her longtime close friend Jacob (a werewolf)? How can she choose between him and Edward, and what will happen if, and when, she does? Ilyana Kadushin skillfully brings Bella to life, sharing her struggle to decide between her love for Edward and her friendship for Jacob, while striving to maintain the peace between the vampire Cullens and the werewolf Blacks. The narration easily distinguishes between characters. Fans of Meyer's previous titles will enjoy this one and eagerly await the release of Midnight Sun .-Cindy Lombardo, Tuscarawas County Public Library, New Philadelphia, OH

Kirkus Reviews

It's the countdown to graduation and immortality for Bella, since the events of New Moon (2006) have convinced boyfriend Edward to let her join him in vampirism. While Bella desires only to leave this mortal coil, Edward wants her to try college and marriage first. Bella knows that becoming a vampire will forever sever her ties to best friend Jake, who's a werewolf and therefore an ancient racial enemy of all things vampiric. Luckily-and predictably-a gathering of bloodthirsty, vengeful vampires is headed straight for Bella. To protect her, the vegetarians of Edward's vamp coven need to stop trading racial epithets with the werewolves and work with them, instead. Bella wants the villains to be defeated so she can return to her everyday life of high school, anticipating immortality and fighting Edward's determination to avoid premarital sex. Unsettling racially charged characterizations are offset by messages of overcoming difference and working together. Fans of Bella's angst-drenched love triangle will gobble this entry up, and the open-ended conclusion paves the way for Jake's story to come. (Fantasy. YA)
