Genre; YA, Miscellaneous vampire talesThe book is a novella and meant to be a companion to the third book, Eclipse of the Twilight Saga.
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.
Disclaimer: My mother will hate me for my review, she is a bigger twilight fan than I am.
Noe: I found the book more interesting than the Twilight series, itself. I had to actually reread parts of Eclipse because I could not remember anything. But as I reread Bella’s point of view (Eclipse), I found myself wanting to return back to Bree’s perspective/story. This is obviously because I am a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s writing and probably because I am desensitized to Bella. I find her whiny.
The Bree Tanner book surprisingly was much better than I anticipated. For a short book, with no Bella, I loved it. It was interesting to see the other side of the war. Fred, Diego and Bree were my favorite characters.
My notable quotes:
Disclaimer: I, Suz, am a huge fan of Twilight. I would prefer that Stephenie focus her writing on Midnight Sun. That is all.
Suz: This novella actually sat on my shelf for some time. For some reason, I had no desire to read a story from a newborn vampire’s POV that had been killed anyway in Eclipse. Not only did it seem pointless, but kind of sad. Who wants to read someones last words?
Oddly, the book was not bad as I thought it would be and at 178 pages, a very quick read. Told from Bree’s point of view, you get a sense of what Riley put these newbies through. Deprived of information, lied to, locked up and starved.
Bree is simply a product of the pathetic vampire that made her-that’s right, I called Riley pathetic. But strangely, I became fascinated by her relationship with Diego and even more so, with Fred (a vampire that clearly had the gift of stench). Amazingly, with the guidance of Diego, Bree begins to have a conscience and an understanding of what she was created for. This unfortunately, is information learned a little too late.
If you are a fan of Stephenie’s writing, than you will enjoy the book. It really reads like deleted scenes from a movie.

I didn't really want to read this novella either but I decided to snatch it up before Eclipse to have some insight on the Bree character. What got me excited was Meyer's Introduction. I wished I could have stayed a little longer with Bree and really saw how she perceived the Cullens. Thanks for the review!
Bree is a character worth writing about. I just wish Meyer had given her a chance at a life with either the Cullen, Diego, or even Fred. (Fred was my favorite but i don't think he stinks up the place when he wants his space; he just creates an aura of disgust around where he is to keep people away)
A mi este libro me gusto; aunque no se compara con la saga-crepusculo. Me hubiese gustado que Bree se convierta en una Cullen, capas con el tiempo terminaba con algún hombre lobo, depues hacerca de Diego, no me cierra mucho porque el parece estar muerto pero no hay nada que lo deje bien en claro y yo creo que el pudo aver sido desterrado encuento Riley no queria matarlo, asique para que ELLA victoria no lo aga se va y por eso le deja dicho lo del saludo a Bree, y encuanto a Fred yo creo que tendria que escribir un libro hacerca de lo que el realmente pensaba de los neofitos, de Bree, de lo que tiene planeado hacer ahora que esta solo, capas cuando Bree esta ante Jane y lo mira a Edward pensando que si se lo cuzaran lo traten bien, capas pasa, o era un apetecible bocadillo para los Volturi, no se sabe pero esa seria una buena historia para contar.
En fin me gusto este libro, me re atrapo porque me llegue a enamorar de Diego, sentia que yo misma era Bree, asique este libro totalmente me llego aunque ubiese querido otro final (no digo que ella no ubiera muerdo, poruqe en eclipse lo decia, pero.. nose un segundo final que se iva con Fred o que muere con Diego (como en romeo y julieta)
Bueno GRACIAS Mayer por hacer que me enamore de tus vampiros y hombres lobos
she is so pretty
