Stephenie Meyer's The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is in stores now. Presented as a novella, this story gives an account of the vampire war waged against the Cullen coven from the viewpoint of Bree Tanner, a newborn vampire. Bree appeared briefly near the end of Eclipse, Meyer's third installment in her Twilight series.
I for one haven't even started on Breaking Dawn. I bought the Bree Tanner story anyway so I could say I bought it the day it came out, but I will wait to read it when I finish Breaking Dawn.
I didn't catch on to the Twilight phenomenon until Breaking Dawn hit stores. I noticed a hoopla and couldn't figure out what it was all about. Now I know. Meyer writes really good vampire romances if you're into that sort of thing. Going into Twilight I wouldn't have thought I would be, but a female coworker talked me into trying it out. Twilight turned out to be a delightful read. I would recommend it to any reader that wants to take on something new and unusual.
