Review by Booklist Review
Bree Tanner, who first appeared briefly as a newborn vampire in Meyer's Eclipse (2007), is the star of this slim partner to the megamillion-selling Twilight series. A self-described vampire nerd, Bree recounts her adventures as she roams Seattle fulfilling her thirst for blood (and Meyer fans' thirst for more books). In a passionate introduction, Meyer reiterates what Eclipse readers already know: Bree has few nights left on Earth. As she joins her red-eyed coven in battle against yellow-eyed adversaries that, while foreign to Bree, will be instantly recognizable to millions of human readers, she finds her first (kissable) friend and discovers a truth about daylight. Formatted as one long, breathless chapter, this novella includes the same casual language and elements of suspense and romance found in the Twilight quartet, and interlocking characters and dialogue fit it easily into Bree and Bella's scene in Eclipse. While Twilight fans will appreciate the story as an expansion of Bella's world, this rapid read also stands satisfyingly alone.--Medlar, Andrew Copyright 2010 Booklist
