The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner – Stephenie Meyer

Fans of the Twilight Saga first met Bree Tanner in Eclipse, as one of the newborn vampires in the army created in Seattle to attack the Cullen family. In The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella, Stephenie Meyer tells Bree’s story in her own words, offering a fresh and darker perspective on the events of the series.

Bree is a young teenager who was turned into a vampire only months earlier. She lives in a basement hideout with other newborns, who are wild, violent and constantly thirsty, controlled by the mysterious Riley and the creator whom they have never seen. Bree has learned to keep her head down to survive, but when she becomes friends with a thoughtful newborn named Diego, the two begin to question the lies they have been told about vampires and about the world above.

As the army prepares for its confrontation with the Cullens, Bree discovers secrets about who is really behind their creation and what they are being used for. Her story reveals the hidden side of the battle that readers witnessed in Eclipse and gives a voice to a character whose fate fans already know.

Suspenseful and atmospheric, the novella offers new insight into the rules and dangers of Meyer’s vampire world.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is a must-read for fans of the Twilight Saga, best enjoyed after reading Eclipse. It contains some violence suited to teen and adult readers.
