Eclipse

Tension between Jacob, the werewolf, and Edward, the vampire, continues to rise and Bella has to choose between the two. Mysterious deaths and disappearances lead everyone to believe Victoria is making a vampire army with new, young, vampires with uncontrolled strength to destroy Bella and the Cullen family. Jacob realizes he must put his feelings of hatred towards the vampires aside so he can help save Bella. Bella is moved to to the snowy mountains to try to divert the army from Forks and there is a great battle between Victoria, the new vampires, the Cullens, and werewolves. Victoria and the new vampires are slaughtered and a new respect between werewolves and vampires begins for Bella's sake. The Volturi send Jane to check on the situation with the new army, Jane discovers Bella has not been changed into a vampire yet, and Edward proposes to Bella.

The tension between Jacob and Edward is magnified through understatement.
The point of view of each character is explained through thoughts instead of spoken dialogue and we learn more about the love for Bella and the hate for each other (between Jacob and Edward.)
