This is a MUST read for any Twilight fan! This is the story of Bree Tanner, who was featured as a newborn vampire in Eclipse (the best of the series IMO). Bree is the young vampire that surrenders during the battle between the Cullen's/Wolfpack and Victoria's army of newborn vampires. I learned some interesting things in the book, such as other uses for vampire venom. Bree's short second life proves that being a vampire is not all it is hyped to be. Being a newborn is a very dangerous existence.

I really enjoyed the chance to get back into the Twilight saga that this novella offered. It was fun, fast paced, and offered views of the Cullen's and Bella from an outsider. This is a very quick read that I am glad I didn't miss!

Not Meyer's best work, but as a supplement to the series it was okay.

This is a perfect little addition to the world of Twilight. Letting the reader get to know Bree and what she is told about her new life, making the reader desperate to clue her in before it is too late. What makes it such a great addition to Twilight is that with the other 4 books, there's always a happy ending for the "good" vampires and it conditions the readers to this ideal. Previous books "humanized" vampires a bit too much and sort of gave the readers that comfort zone. In this book however, it's a deadly reminder that vampires are not naturally civil and "domesticized", that there's not always a happy ending for the good, and that the evil still do prevail at times. This was pretty much a wake up call to the true nature of Vampires.
