Publisher's Summary

It's here! Number one best-selling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with this highly anticipated companion: the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told from the vampire's point of view.

When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, an iconic love story was born. But until now, fans have heard only Bella's side of the story. At last, listeners can experience Edward's version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun.

This unforgettable tale as told through Edward's eyes takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire. As we learn more fascinating details about Edward's past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. How can he justify following his heart if it means leading Bella into danger? 

In Midnight Sun, Stephenie Meyer transports us back to a world that has captivated millions of listeners and brings us an epic novel about the profound pleasures and devastating consequences of immortal love.

Is it just me?

Dear Edward Cullen Fan Club,
So I’m up to chapter 15 of midnight sun, and whilst I’m enjoying having those beloved characters back in my life in a way that is new and unknown, the voice is starting to really annoy me- wondering if this is just an audible thing or if reading this is making me love Edward less... how you ask?
He is coming across as a bit of a pussy, but not just a pussy but a needy lovefilled pussy.
I don’t know if I loved him so much in the books because he was brooding and mysterious and there was an edge of unknown that made you think “but does he really love her that much”, and so when you realise he does love Bella, you too feel like he is loving you unconditionally and seeing you fully, as you read.....
Now all the questions of what he was thinking are being answered and he doesn’t seem so scary and deep, he just seems weak and blinded by love.
But, then I think, maybe that’s actually just my perception of what is attractive in a man in love; one where affections are slightly guarded and mysterious. Or (most likely) maybe I’m holding on too tightly to this book during stage 4 COVID restrictions and it’s messing with my reviewability.
Regards,
Confused but hopeful

No words

Love this story but could not get through the 25 hours of being inside Edwards head analysing every single word, eye blink, hand movement and thought that Bella said or did not say. Needs more action and dialogue to move the story (we already know) along at a faster pace. Plus he constantly gushes over Bella and we get he is in love but its a bit OTT.
Only made it 5 hours in and couldn’t take it any longer.

Wish this story was new

There are so many untold elements of this twilight story,so was confused why this book told the same story we already have. It was frustrating to know exactly what was going to happen and have no surprises.
The story we all wanted was Jacob and Renesmee. Still in hope we can get this story at some point

good story but not a good narrator

I really looked forward to this book for so long and the story line is magnificent however the narrator let it down. I dont believe he had the right voice to be Edward needed someone a bit younger.

Worth the listen,

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, hearing from Edwards point of view really put some things into perspective. I didn't mind the narrator, he voiced the characters distinctively and had no trouble following. Personally, I think many people are caught up in the "voice" they think Edward would have so never really gave Jake a chance (which is common for most audible stories). If in doubt for the voice you can always listen to the sample (or do what I did and see if the audiobook is available at your local library and borrow it first)... and remember Edward may be in the body of a 17-year-old, but he's older and having a mature voice and attitude does match (its the movie that wasn't quite right, in my opinion) Overall, give the book a try because Meyer's writing ability has improved since she wrote the original twilight series and it definitely shows

Not my cup of tea - A creepy old man stalking a girl

A creepy old man in the body of a young teenager stalks anf manipulates a girl and persuades her to convert into his cult (aka vampires). Not my favourite type of reading.

Great Story, Wrong Narrator

The narrators voice is very wrong, I'm 5 hours in and just can't listen to him anymore.
