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.
All Bree knows is that living with her fellow newborns has few certainties and even fewer rules: watch your back, don't draw attention to yourself and, above all, make it home by sunrise or die. What she doesn't know: her time as an immortal is quickly running out.
Then Bree finds an unexpected friend in Diego, a newborn just as curious as Bree about their mysterious creator, whom they know only as "her". As they come to realize that the newborns are pawns in a game larger than anything they could have imagines, Bree and Diego must choose sides and decide whom to trus. But when everything you know about vampires is based on a lie, how do you find the truth?
REVIEW:
This was a hard one to place - it is a fun and interesting read to give you new persepective on Bree (and her reactions at the end of ECLIPSE) and on this whole other side to the story. However, it wasn't absolutely amazing or anything. I enjoyed it, it was a fast, easy read, and worth it if you're a Twilight fan. But Twilight and Eclipse are still my two favorites from the series.
I hope to see something new from SM soon, to see how she's grown as a writer, and what she's going to do next. If you've read it, what did you think?
