The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer

I turned off my brain. It was time to hunt. I took a deep breath, drawing in the scent of the blood inside the humans below. They weren't the only humans around, but they were the closest. Who you were going to hunt was the kind of decision you had to make before you scented your prey. It was too late now to choose anything.

Nice side story, not as mushy as the main novels.

Anyone who has read “Eclipse” of seen the movie, knows how Bree's story ends. But it was cool to see what happened to her before she met “the golden eyes”. I have to give it to Stephenie Meyer for getting down and dirty with the gore and violence of these normal newborns. There's a nice twist to the Volturi too...which we kind of knew already but still nice to have it validated through Bree. It was great to see the Cullens through Bree and her reaction to them. She could feel Jasper's moods. Her confusion about them and the human. Like Stephenie, I wished Bree's ending could have been different, but what done is done.

Selv om jeg ikke ble helt bergtatt av boka, så synes jeg absolutt at man skal lese den om man er glad i Twilight-serien og jeg likte den veldig godt. Det var interessant å lese fra perspektivet til “nyfødte” Bree og om andre karakterer enn bare Cullen-familien og varulvene. Historien er nok litt i lengste laget for å kunne kalles novelle, – og jeg savnet kapitler, egentlig – men det tenker man ikke så mye på, for det går fort å lese boka. Personlig skulle jeg ønske det var mer om Diego, men siden historien er skrevet fra Brees perspektiv, så får vi jo bare lese det hun ser.
Jeg håper at Stephenie Meyer kan skrive flere slike noveller i andre karakterers POV, for jeg liker virkelig å lese dem (tenker på Jacobs POV i Breaking Dawn).
