I just love to read! For me, it is a way to escape and discover new worlds, to do things you never thought possible, to explore emotions and feelings through words, and I can do it all in the comfort of my imagination. And even though they are not real, I believe the characters you meet in books can change your life and the way you see the world, if you let them.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella by Stephenie Meyer

Synopsis:
Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery, and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion.


My Review:
You know, I actually enjoyed this book. I knew that it was not going to be at the level of the other Twilight books and I feel you have to go into this book with no expectations otherwise you could be disappointed. With that said, I liked getting a look at the other side of the action of the Eclipse story from Bree, the newborn’s perspective. I did not think I would learn anything new that would change the way in which I read Eclipse but learning about the Volturi and their hopes that the new born army would wipe out the Cullen clan, minus Alice and Edward, was new for me. This book also made Victoria that much more of an evil to me because now I understand to what extent she lied and manipulated all the newborns and Riley who would have died for her. It was also a short book which is good because I don’t think this is a story line that should be dragged out into a 300 pager. This just makes me long even more for the release of “Midnight Sun” and more Twilight-related material!
