5. The Rush to Save Edward
Even though I couldn’t imagine any harm ever coming to Edward, it was still suspenseful to read about Bella and Alice’s flight to stop him from self-destruction. I kept waiting for the Volturi to step in at the very last minute and foil the plan. For more details on the cast and production of this high-stakes moment, visit the New Moon IMDB page. This is definitely one of the twilight best scenes for its sheer tension.
4. Birth of the Baby
The birthing process was very graphic and horrific. Bella had already gone through so much just carrying the infant. I was glad when it was all over and everyone was doing well. Talk about suspense! This pivotal moment in Breaking Dawn changed everything for the Cullens. You can read more about the lore of Renesmee on the official fandom wiki.

I think my mouth dropped open when I read this part of the book. Actually, I think I read it twice! I just couldn’t imagine anything happening to Bella right at the beginning of the series, but I definitely didn’t expect Edward to step in so soon. This is one of those classic twilight clips that still gets shared everywhere. If you're interested in more trivia, take a look at these facts about the Twilight saga.
2. Battle with the Newborns
The most detailed portion of this battle is the fight between Edward and Victoria. There was a lot of suspense. I remember gripping the book as I was reading this part. The decapitation at the end of the battle was priceless. It's a standout moment in the official Eclipse story, showing just how far Edward would go to protect Bella.
1. Meeting the Volturi
Reading about the reaction this group of vampires had on other vampires was very interesting. I’d had the feeling that nothing really seemed to faze vampires, until I read about the meeting between the Cullens and the Volturi. Their introduction brought a level of ancient authority and menace that really upped the stakes for the rest of the series. While the rush to save Edward showed their power, this meeting was where we truly felt the danger.
