New Moon post 2

I have just begun reading New Moon, the second book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I can’t really give away what is happening for fear of spoiling the book for someone who has not read the book. If this is the case, then I would definitely recommend reading them.
In the first 60 pages of the book, Bella has been cut and things are not going so well for the Cullens, more specifically Edward Cullen. Jasper is miserable because of his dangerous spasm, Alice, Emmet and Esme feel terrible for the accident and Edward is frighteningly angry. The reader gets the feeling that things are about to change between Edward and Bella after this incident. The last accident in the previous book, Twilight, was much worse and involved much more blood, bites, breaks and bruises yet the reader was not as anxious and worried for Edward and Bella’s relationship.
What really scared me as the reader was Edward’s major breakdown in the car when driving Bella back home. He pours out what seems like a lifetime of unsaid words battling to get out. Finally, he has it all out. However, this behavior is very strange and unexpected of Edward, and Bella knows it. Maybe this accident is more significant than what we think. If this has Edward wound up, Edward of all people, then things are not going too well. When Edward looses it, that’s a sign that danger is ahead. He had always controlled himself beyond human capabilities, and probably even Vampire capabilities, all of the sudden, he is distant and cold. And not only cold as in Vampire, but also cold as in insincere. The second kind of cold, Edward’s insincerity, was what gave me goose bumps, imagine what Bella felt like. Something is definitely going to go haywire in the following chapters. What I dread is reaching those dreadful chapters. Not knowing what will happen and fearing the worst is exactly Meyer’s intention though. She knows what she is doing and is doing it on purpose, hooking her reader and occupying their mind constantly with the thought of the next episode in the book.
