Bree Tanner – a newborn vampire – makes a brief appearance in the third Twilight Saga book Eclipse. We are introduced to her momentarily after the battle between Victoria’s newborn vampire army and the Cullen’s where she surrenders and meets her inevitable fate. Now this is her short story about the events taking place up to the point where she is murdered. We learn that Bree is not a normal newborn vampire, she is smart and cunning. She figures out the lies the vampire named Riley tells the twenty-two of them to fight and she meets and begins to fall for Diego – an older (older for newborns) vampire who takes her under his wing. Unfortunately, all this knowledge comes too late when she realizes that going into this battle is truly not how she wants to live this new life and all she wants to do is runaway. But the need for blood and the hunt for Bella overpower her true wishes and unfortunate Bree Tanner comes to an awful end.
Being a literary fan of the Twilight Saga, I was curious to read this book. I really did not remember who Bree Tanner was but I was intrigued to find out what her story. Although written well, I wanted more about Bree’s first three months of life. This novel only takes place within the last week of Bree’s life and I wanted more. Plus you know those movies and books such as Romeo and Juliet or The Other Boleyn Girl where you know the characters are going to die but you want them to live despite the information you already know? That’s exactly how this book ended. You have learned about Bree and realize she is different and you want her to live so badly, but sadly Bree Tanner does not fit into the ending we want for her. All in all even if you are the slightest closet fan of Twilight, this was a fun read.
