The lady is a vamp.
Like millions of other women out there, I enjoyed reading the Twilight series. Last month Sam bought me the newest Stephanie Meyer novel, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. Unfortunately, at the time I was in the middle of another book, Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella. I’ve never been one to read more than one book at a time, so I didn’t start reading my new book until now.
I’m nearly finished with the book about Bree, one of the newborn vampires bred by Victoria to help fight the Cullen’s at the end of the third book in the Twilight series, Eclipse. I found the change of narration to be a breath of fresh air. Bree’s personality is completely different from selfish, indecisive Bella; and how Bree views the world is drastically different from the older, more experienced vampires the Twilight series revolves around.
I’m not sure how it ends quite yet, but as the title gives away I know Bree does not live to see the end of the book. I’m looking forward to reading how it all goes down, but I’m also looking forward to stopping at Powell’s Books after my lunch date with a BFF so I can pick out a new book to read.
It’s amazing how much time I have these days now that I’m not working! It’s incredible!
Have you read The Dresden Files series? Much love for those - I’m on book 6.
Personally I thought Host was her best book. You might enjoy it!
I will not start bashing the Twilight books, even though I’m a firm believer that they deserve to be bashed. What I will do though, is suggest some reading material if you’re looking for something new to pick up.
I can highly recommend both series that Laurell K. Hamilton writes (The Anita Blake series and the Merideth Gentry series). I also suggest reading the Women of the Otherworld series from Kelley Armstrong, it’s one of my favorites and every new addition reaffirms that. Also, if you haven’t picked them up already, read Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series. Seriously, start with One For The Money and read through the newest Sizzling Sixteen. They will make you laugh out loud, they are fantastic! Lastly, there is Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series. They are pretty thick (hovering around 1000 pages) but they are great reads, especially if you like a fictional twist on history! Anyway, happy reading!
