Well if it helps, in the fight scenes there is shredding, crunching, cracking, burning, etc. In the second book a whole room of people get eaten, and in the third boook, heads and limbs go flying. If they portray the fight scenes well, the horror fans should be satisfied. Oh and of course in the first book, there's that too. The Cullens don't eat / drink blood of humans, but they like a good fight and are ready to kick ass and kill (and they weren't always vegetarian...heh ;-).. let's leave it at that.). Btw, there's more, but you'kk just have to read or see.
