The Second Short Life of Bree Tanner by Stephanie Meyer

Hardcover, 178 pages

Published June 5th 2010 by Little Brown Books for Young Read 2

Sypnosis:Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits.
In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery, and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion.
Bree Tanner can barely remember life before she had uncannily powerful senses, superhuman reflexes and unstoppable physical strength. Life before she had a relentless thirst for blood... life before she became a vampire.
   All Bree knows is that living with her fellow newborns has few certainties and even fewer rules: watch your back, don't draw attention to yourself and, above all, make it home by sunrise or die. What she doesn't know: her time as an immortal is quickly running out.
Then Bree finds an unexpected friend in Diego, a newborn just as curious as Bree about their mysterious creator, whom they know only as "her". As they come to realize that the newborns are pawns in a game larger than anything they could have imagined, Bree and Diego must choose sides and decide whom to trust. But when everything you know about vampires is based on a lie, how do you find the truth? (Goodreads Blurb)

                                                         

My Feeling..... & The Book.....

Okay, all you Twilight-haters might be surprised that I actually read a Stephanie Meyer book and liked it is KINDA STRANGE,right??? o_o But I admit it was good even with all my really stressful decision and though...I bought it..^^ 

  And after reading it I was so surprised, Bree was sort different to Bella, Stephanie Meyer's writing was good, and it was a good read, though it took me 8 days to finish this novella, meaning.... I really wasn't in a mood for it. :D I actually like that Bree was a book-lover (like me!) ^^ and she wasn't in love like Bella with the all obsessed thing with her and Edward, even with a hint of romance... which I enjoyed.. :)

My Book Review......

Bree Tanner can't imagine the power flowing inside her body, intense and powerful senses, and the fact she's a newborn. Bree is very subtle and keeps things for herself,especially in her clan lead by Riley whom hold secrets that tests Bree's abilities.

Then, she meets Diego. a newborn just like her whom is as curious and together they discover who "her" is. But as time comes, Bree's abilities are tested and its a whole new field filled with tragedy, betray, and Bree and Diego have to find who they must trust to win. But when everything you know about vampires is based on a lie, how do you find the truth?

Overall it was a good book and I actually liked it,so......

Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann

Hardcover, 233 pages

Published February 8th 2011 by Simon Pulse

Sypnosis:The community of Cryer’s Cross, Montana (population 212) is distraught when high school freshman Tiffany disappears without a trace. Already off-balance due to her OCD, 16-year-old Kendall is freaked out seeing Tiffany’s empty desk in the one-room school house, but somehow life goes on... until Kendall's boyfriend Nico also disappears, and also without a trace. Now the town is in a panic. Alone in her depression and with her OCD at an all-time high, Kendall notices something that connects Nico and Tiffany: they both sat at the same desk. She knows it's crazy, but Kendall finds herself drawn to the desk, dreaming of Nico and wondering if maybe she, too, will disappear...and whether that would be so bad. Then she begins receiving graffiti messages on the desk from someone who can only be Nico. Can he possibly be alive somewhere? Where is he? And how can Kendall help him? The only person who believes her is Jacian, the new guy she finds irritating...and attractive. As Kendall and Jacian grow closer, Kendall digs deeper into Nico's mysterious disappearance only to stumble upon some ugly—and deadly—local history. Kendall is about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried

First Thoughts.........

Book & My Review.......

'Kay' here's were my after-thoughts. I hated the begining but loved the ending. The eunding was really creepy and I actually had dreams of me doing what Kendall was doing to save Nico and it had a good ending that will actually make me read it again, to be honest! :D Lisa Mcmann's writing style wasn't one I really liked to read. Her interpretation of 3rd person wasn't really amazing or anything special but good enough to keep you reading till the last page. Overall, just read it since the ending will haunt you!! o.o
