The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer

I bought the book on Sunday and I finished to read it on Monday night. I was really curious about this novel of Eclipse and the writer did not disappoint me. It's an lovely story, in spit of the all tragedy that surrounds it. I loved the book.

Plot Summary (by Wikipedia):

The story begins with Bree and Diego hunting for human blood in Seattle, Washington. Bree has been a vampire for three months, and Diego has been one for eleven months. Together they kill and eat a pimp, two prostitutes, and two winos. Bree and Diego talk about "her" (Victoria) and why it's strange that she's turning so many people, including themselves, into vampires. Diego thinks something is coming, and "she" is using them as protection. By dawn they realize the house they share with various other newborn vampires has burned down. They hide in a cave and discuss their human lives, and how Riley came to offer them a second life as a vampire. Together they deduce that Riley wants pawns for protection, and he might be lying to them. They also discover that sunlight wont kill a vampire, but that it makes their skin sparkles. They decide to be "best friends forever" and spend the day "playing ninja" looking for Riley and the other vampires they live with. They find that Riley had relocated everyone to a log cabin and Diego gets into a fight with Raoul. That night Bree and Diego stalk Riley, suspicious that he's meeting with "her." They eavesdrop on Riley's conversation with Victoria and then the Volturi show up, angry that Victoria is amassing a vampire army. The Volturi say that if Victoria doesn't attack within five days they'll kill her.
Bree returns to the log cabin and considers running away, while Diego stays behind to talk to Riley. Riley returns to the cabin alone and tells his vampire army that there are older vampires in Seattle (the Cullens) who want to kill them, and if they want to survive they'll have to work together and learn how to fight. Riley tells Bree that Diego is with her and will see her at the fight. After three nights of training Bree and the vampires hunt a ferry boat to eat the passengers and regain their strength for the battle against the elder vampires. Riley then tells everyone that the vampires they'll be fighting have yellow eyes and keep a human (Bella) as a pet. They head off to fight the Cullens. Fred decides to leave before the battle, and Riley retreats telling Bree that Diego has already started fighting with another group. Bree arrives at the battle and realizes the newborn vampires are being killed by the Cullens, and Bree suspects that Diego is dead because she can't sense his presence. She deduces that Victoria and Riley killed Diego for being disobedient. Bree surrenders to the Cullens. They debate whether or not to kill her and decide to take her captive. Bree has trouble resisting the urge to drink Bella's blood. The Volturi show up and interrogate Bree for information. She explains that Riley lied to her and everyone else, and if they didn't do as they were told they would be killed. The book ends with the Volturi executing Bree.

I really recomend ti =)
