The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie MeyerMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
Definitely a pointless money grab, but it's been on my shelf since 2010 so it's nice to finally tick it off!
This lil story follows Bree, a young vampire that pops up briefly in the Twilight saga. Here she's running with a vamp pack and getting close to Diego while they try and work out what their secret leader, 'her', is up to.
Now it's a novella so only 175 pages or so, but there are no breaks at all. It's quite a breathless (haha) sort of narrative, with run-on action that isn't even really that interesting. It doesn't have any big reveals or shocking moments so while it just keeps going there's not really a lot of excitement in it.
The biggest focus seems to be on the whole 'sunlight doesn't actually kill us' thing which honestly just seems more like Stephanie Meyer patting herself on the back for coming up with something so clever.
There's the gratuitous appearance of the Cullen fam through the eyes of a stranger that will have fans getting excited, but ultimately there's just not a lot of substance to this story.
Even the romance was pathetic - easy come, easy go.
Very much a pointless addition to the Twilight fam - you're not missing anything if you skip it.
