Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (an Eclipse Novella)

"Bree Tanner can barely remember life before she had uncannily powerful senses, superhuman reflexes, and unstoppable physical strength. Life before she had a relentless thirst for blood... life before she became a vampire.

All Bree knows is that living with her fellow newborns has few certainties and even fewer rules: watch your back, don't draw attention to yourself, and above all, make it home by sunrise or die. What she doesn't know: her time as an immortal is quickly running out.
Then Bree finds an unexpected friend in Diego, a newborn just as curious as Bree about their mysterious creator, whom they know only as her. As they come to realize that the newborns are pawns in a game larger than anything they could have imagined, Bree and Diego must choose sides and decide whom to trust. But when everything you know about vampires is based on a lie, how do you find out the truth?"


I love the way Stephanie Meyer tells the story of Bree, the young girl who got turned into a vampire over a meal in her stomach. <spoiler> To those of us that have read and/or watched the movie Eclipse, we know that Bree dies (because of the dang Volturi). <spoiler> But Meyer gives us a glimpse into the vampire army's life. A behind the scenes tale of romance, danger, and mystery. I am very glad she has added this glimpse, I believe it to make the story better to know the "other side of the story".
