The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

After being a fan of the Twilight saga I had to read this spin off book. Bree was a character briefly mentioned in a fight scene. The readers know her fate and why she is killed. However, we never know where she came from or why she was a part of another Vampire coven.
Bree is a young vampire, at 3 months old. She would have been a 16 year old girl who was making poor choices in her life. She was changed to a vampire un-willingly and was just getting into the 'grove' of being a vamp. Bree was part of a coven that she didn't trust and ultimately wanted out of.
I enjoyed the writing style of this book. It still had Meyers signature in the wording yet it was such a jump from the pouting Bella and Edward story. This was a short and good read. I would suggest it to anyone who has read the Twilight Saga.

Twilight Saga

These books were read in between Thanksgiving and Christmas 2008.

I liked book 1- Twilight I don't think that it is the best book that I have ever read. I think that because it is geared to a crowd in their late teens, some of it was a bit bland. Where as if the set was geared to an older crowd it might have been a bit more 'interesting'. The author was able to make me want to know more about these characters and their lives as vampires and possible wolves.

The second book in the series titled New Moon is better than Twilight, in my opinion.
I think as a whole it is a great source of entertainment. I think Twilight did a good job of setting up the series. However New Moon was excellent. I couldn't decide who I liked better, Jacob or Edward. The character development was great. There was so much action and twist in this book, that it really kept my attention much more than Twilight did.

Eclipse is book 3. I can't believe how wrapped up I am in this series. I couldn't wait to finish it! It was a page turner like the 2 before this one.. but it seriously captures you into the story. There are so many more characters and developements in this book. I found that so far in as the books progress the writing is better.

Breaking Dawn is the final book (for now) in this series. I never thought I would be able to get through all 750 pages of this book so quickly! I loved how it was told through different characters in the story. I was surprised by some of the twist, but I was disappointed by some of the peices of the story I felt were missing. However I think they were omitted because of the age group the story is geared to. Then again that is what your imagination is for.

The whole series is great! I would reccomend it to someone looking for a fun series to read.
