Synopsis

Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by the riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits.

In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion.

'I'm as surprised as anyone about this novella,' said Stephenie Meyer. 'When I began working on it in 2005, it was simply an exercise to help me examine the other side of Eclipse, which I was editing at the time. I thought it might end up as a short story that I could include on my website. Then, when work started on The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, I thought the Guide would be a good fit for my Bree story. However, the story grew longer than I anticipated, until it was too long to fit into the Guide.

About this title

Review:

"Meyer has, like one of her vampires, turned into something rare and more than merely human... People do not want to just read Meyer's books; they want to climb inside them and live there." (TIME)

"A literary phenomenon." (The New York Times)

"In this brief companion to the Twilight Saga, Emma Galvin’s smoky voice draws us a striking portrait of Bree Tanner’s precarious final days as part of a newborn vampire army that was created to kill a specific enemy. Stephenie Meyer’s vampires are at their strongest when they’re new, but they’re also at their thirstiest and most uncontrollable. Galvin deftly follows Bree’s wild swings between fear of her barbarous companions, the distraction of intense thirst, and her longing to trust Diego, the first real friend of her second life. Galvin also delivers a fine performance of the supporting characters - Diego’s slight accent, Jane’s cold monotone, the other newborns’ confusion and rage. All in all, a satisfying listen for fans of the series." (AudioFile Magazine)
