I'm pretty sure we all know the story of Twilight, so I won't bother explaining it. This was definitely my favorite book in the Series, because Bella isn't the main character. Bree actually had faults.

That's all I really have to say...

It wasn't half bad. It was a nice break from all of the serious books that I've been reading lately. Mindless fluff :)

This book is good for what it is. Just a short novella about a character you know is destined to die.
There's actually more action in these 100 pages than in the 400-500 pages Eclipse.
I thought the book would start from the beginning of her vampire life until the end, but she's been a vampire for a couple of months when it starts.

I'm a bit annoyed because there are no chapters but it's just short enough to not be bothered a lot.

This was so entertaining!! I like that it was still obvious Bree was young, but she was also mature. That was refreshing after dealing with Bella’s immature bratty-ness & self-deprecation in Eclipse.

This novella wasn’t it.
I missed a lot of things, like chapters where were they. The whole book is one big chapter it seemed and it’s so confusing because you can’t stop reading at one point.
The story had not caught my attention. Although I thought Bree was cute and smart but of course not smart enough. I didn’t really care for her backstory.
We all knew how it ended if you read eclipse.
There was one thing interesting about it, how someone else besides the cullens and Bella saw the cullens what they looked like to the outsiders that one part was interesting.
But this book wasn’t it, I didn’t want to give it one star it wasn’t that bad. 2 stars is just a bad book.

Perfect short story. I fell in love with Bree and her story. Her unfortunate end made me so sad I couldn’t witness her become apart of the Cullens.
