the second short life of Bree Tarner

yeay, i have finally finish my reading on Stephenie Meyer's latest novel, The Second Short Life of Bree Tarner. took only one day to settle, because it's only about 200 pages. haha. this is a must-have book for Twilight Saga fans (i mean, the book, not the movie). this book is like a continuation erm..no..no, it is like, the other side of story taken from Twilight-Eclipse novel. If you have read Eclipse, towards the end of the novel, The Cullens have surrendered one newborn vampire (from Victoria's coven) and they wanted to protect her. however, the Volturi, to be specific, Jane (the one that Dakota Fanning played in the movie) is against it. she wanted the newborn vampire, Bree to die since Volturi wanted to keep their reputation and do not allow those who made mistake to be given a second chance. i care less about Bree's fate in Eclipse, but when i read this book, i am now get a better view about Bree's life and sympathy of her.

it's so sad knowing one newborn vampire, who doesn't know anything about vampire world, and has no intention to attack the Cullens & Bella at first place to be punished that way. in this novel, it described Bree as an innocent newborn vampire, which she hadn't been given a proper training to be "good" vampire and living under the lies of Riley (Victoria's so-called lover in Eclipse) without knowing the truth the true life of vampire, the law and even their ability. all Riley has told her was to attack the bad vampires (the Cullens) and to deserve their dessert (Bella - she is labelled as dessert due to her sweet blood..erh?). Edward knows Bree's innocence (through the mind-read thingy) and he was also behind Carlisle who wanted to keep, protect and teach her about the true of vampire's world. but, Jane was against them and wanted Bree to die because Bree was already involved in Riley's coven, where the truth were, Bree never has intention to kill, never participated in Riley's training to kill and she already suspected Riley's lies. she was sooo naive in this novel.

so, at the end of this story, The Cullens couldn't do anything to help Bree although they wanted to protect her so bad. Bree managed to pass some information about her life as innocent vampire, message to protect her friend, Fred and her non-involvement in the attack towards Cullen through Edward (by reading Bree's thoughts). Bree is dead without her intention to live as vampire and clueless about the reality of vampire's world. it's a very sad story, and it makes me hate Jane so much after reading this T_T
