This Eclipse novella supports the Twilight Saga the way the unpublished Midnight Sun does. For me, hearing another character's thoughts and feelings helps the story feel complete. The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is the story of one of the newborn vampires in the "army" created to destroy Bella. Bree is only three months old when her existence intersects Bella's and her short life is ended by the Volturi. Before that, Bree describes the insatiable thirst, finding and losing true love, living in the dark about vampire rules and realities, and being guided into an impossible battle by a misinformed leader. When Bree is found by the Cullens she has no desire to fight, so they offer to accept her as their own and teach her everything that has been kept from her. Sadly, we already know how this story ends. Learning about how the newborns were deceived makes me sympathize with them just a little. My favorite part of the book was how Jasper's talent affected Bree, who was extremely confused by her rapidly changing emotions.
