The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner An Eclipse Novella The Twilight Saga Stephenie Meyer Books

The character of Bree was full of life and personality. It was amazing how much Stephenie Meyers brought her to life in this short novella. There is no doubt that this is a tragedy through and through but one with satisfying yet bitter end. I would love to see the other books in the series in the future should Stephenie Meyer's revisit this world. She already has Side characters such as Leah in the main story that she spoke of possibly revisiting in the future. I could see having Fred joining the Cullen's in the future and somehow being perfect match for Leah.

There's really no spoiler to be had given that even the author lets the reader know a front about the story and the fact that it came out after the publication of book 3. It does give a more in depth view into the world of twilight. We see just how easily it is for these newborn vampires to be fooled and controlled by their instincts. I was surprised how well the author manage to make Bree sympathetic and engaging protagonist despite being a blood-sucking monster. She even was able to create a few relationships that seemed to have even more depth than the original twilight book LOL. I say that as a joke but also in truth that the characters felt for each other and grew to care for each other based upon actions and more than just simple I like you because you're hot or in Edwards case to Bella I like you because I can't read your mind and your blood makes me crazy.

A novela that is set in the middle of a series has the advantage of not having to world build. it is meant for readers with knowledge of the series and characters so you can get a short and sweet story that is rather impactful.

I would encourage everyone who has enjoyed the twilight series to buy this novella and more to the point I would say even if you never read the twilight books the short novella is well worth the read. It is an engaging tragedy that will pull you in and hit you in the feels. It also showcases the talent that is Stephenie Meyers in telling a story without showing her hand. It was surprising to see how much personality she managed to shove into Bree in such a short time..

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner An Eclipse Novella The Twilight Saga Stephenie Meyer Books Reviews

In my opinion, this was the best entry in the Twilight series. Set in the weeks before the big fight in Eclipse, it tells the story of newborn vampire Bree Tanner, a former runaway with no place to go. As a vampire she is disgusted by some of the behavior of her peers and does her best to quietly blend in and avoid trouble. For a while she does well at this, thanks to the repelling powers of Freaky Fred, another vampire, dubbed so by his vampire peers who are repulsed by him. However, while out hunting she eventually attracts the attention of Diego, another newborn vampire who has retained some of his human qualities. He likes Bree and the two of them spend a blissful day learning about each other and about their new existence as vampires. Together they learn that sunlight is not dangerous to vampires as they had believed and decide to share this information with their coven leader, Riley. Unfortunately, as they soon find out, this knowledge is dangerous.

Their romance is quick and fleeting and ultimately doomed but it is charming and cute while it lasts. Bree is a fascinating character with layer after layer, like an onion that is slowly peeled back. Diego is also interesting but before we can learn much about him he is gone. And then there is Fred, whose powers of repulsive magnetism served as a shield for both himself and Bree. Unfortunately for Bree, Fred decides to go off on his own, rebelling against Riley who wants to lead them into a fight against the Cullen coven. Fred doesn't trust Riley and asks Bree to accompany him. Sadly, she has been led astray by Riley who has promised to lead her to Diego, an offer she can't refuse. Fred invites both her and Diego to meet up with him the following day and Bree agrees, not realizing that her time on Earth is sadly coming to an end...

This book was wonderful. I am not a huge fan of the Twilight series, having read the series only because a friend of mine begged me to. However, with it's rich story and complex characters, not to mention a great plot, this book is irresistible. Bree Tanner is probably my favorite character in the entire series. Stephenie Meyer claims this was a writing exercise in her folder. I can only hope she decides to write more exercises and share them with the world.

Five Stars.
