I am, unashamedly, a fan of the Twilight books, so it only made sense for me to pick up this little novella about a young vampire, Bree, who is briefly mentioned in the third book of the series, 'Eclipse'. The story begins during Bree Tanner's third month of her vampire life. She is part of Riley/Victoria's army, but she doesn't know why. She doesn't really care. She just wants the others to leave her alone and to stop being stupid.
Although she is quite young, she is one of the brighter crayons in this box of vampires. She understands, pretty much from the beginning, that Riley isn't telling them everything. However, she just goes along with it in her own way... Until she meets Diego... The other smart one. The two become fast friends who work together to figure out what it is that Riley and "the one who created them" are really planning. I'm not going to go any further than that because, the book is so short, I'd pretty much be telling you the entire story.
Anyway, as my mother pointed out, it was almost difficult to read simply because I knew how it was going to end. Anyone who has read the Twilight novels knows what fate lies ahead of Bree and, really... Is anyone other than Twilight fans going to read this book? Doubtful... However, it was an enjoyable read. The book was interesting and entertaining, but there was nothing really special or clever about it so it gets a respectful three stars from me. Read this on your rainy afternoon off. It won't take you any longer than that and I'd say it's probably worth it (but only if you're a Twilight fan, obviously).
Coming up next, my review on my first book club read, "Christmas Jars" by Jason Wright. But, for now, go read something else! Buh-bye!
