OK. If you like the Twilight Saga, you will probably like this book.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella is a short book. 192 pages, double-spaced. It is a quick read. However, there are no chapter breaks, no breaks whatsoever.

We know how the story ends. This book tells us how it began.

Bree Tanner's story gives us insight as to what was happening in Seattle when Victoria and Riley were building their vampire army. Bree is one of the smarter "newborns" - she knows how to keep ...more

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner:An Eclipse Novella is a new novella in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I stumbled upon it at Barnes and Noble and had to get it (of course.)

Ohhhh, what a delightful little midnight snack this book was! I picked it up from my library and decided since it was such a small book to go ahead and stop reading my other books and consume this one. Well, consume it, are you kidding, I inhaled it! That poor book didn’t stand a chance. I did not put it down until I was done, but being as small as it is, that’s not that big of a deal. What is a big deal is I did so love this little novella. Like with all of Stephanie Meyer’s books, I rode the e ...more

It literally was a short second life...Yes, there is romance and action. But the romance part was short because Victoria killed Diego. But still it was a great book.
