The book was originally published August 7, 2007 by Little,Brown. Twilight: Eclipse is the 3rd book in the Twilight Saga and follows Bella during her Senior Year. Twilight: Eclipse released to widespread critical acclaim and many critics agreed that this was due to Eclipse taking a more adult approach to the characters relationships.
