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 =)

Por que tenho de dar dez motivos concretos para não ter, quando não me conseguem dar um único motivo válido para ter?

Bem, hoje senti a necessidade de vir aqui desabafar... Tendo em conta alguns dos acontecimentos da minha vida, por vezes dou por mim a pensar nesta temática de ser mãe. Nunca quis ser mãe. Desde sempre. Nunca tive esse desejo, essa vontade e, apesar de ter uma justificativa perfeitamente válida, questionava-me se era possível haver algo mais - não sei, algum fio aqui no cérebro ligado a outra fonte sei lá - que me levou desde sempre a ter esta ideia. Até porque, nunca fui de ideias certas. Talvez devido à minha ansiedade e à necessidade incontrolável de querer sempre estar a par de tudo e controlar tudo...custa-me muito tomar qualquer decisão que seja, mesmo ponderando todos os cenários possíveis e imaginários. Quanto à justificativa mas óbvia que tenho é certo que é o facto de não gostar de crianças. Oh pah, é uma coisa...não sei explicar. Irritam-me. São chatas, inconveniente, não param quietas, são naturalmente más... Sempre que me deparo num espaço fechado com uma criança aos berro...

We just can truly trust in ourselves...

It's soon right? Well, I can't sleep... I use to sleep till 1:00pm so yeah, it's soon. . You know when a person realize that everyone it's hiding something from you? Or, when you always are the last person to know about this or that thing...? Or also when you think you know a person and then you realize that you're not so sure of that? Well, it's kind of like that... . Last week something happened and, I'm glad for that... 'cause if that hadn't happened probably I would continue to be the jerk here. It's like...I say something to the X person , then the X person tells everything to the Y person and then they talk and talk and I'm out of the line thinking that I can trust in the X person ... Well, it wasn't a BIG thing, at all...but for me it matters...and was not the first time in so shorter time... . The thing is that if they had trust in me, probably many thing would have been avoided... Now everything makes sence... But that's no...
