The Second Short Life of Bree Tanner by Stephanie Meyer

Hardcover, 178 pages

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......

Book Review: Captivate by Carie Jones

Captivate by Carrie Jones

Hardcover, 273 pages

Published January 5th 2010 by Bloomsbury USA

Sypnosis:Zara and her friends knew they hadn't solved the pixie problem for good. Far from it. The king's needs grow deeper every day he's stuck in captivity, while his control over his people gets weaker. It's made him vulnerable. And now there's a new king in town.

A turf war is imminent, since the new pixie king, Astley, is moving in quickly. Nick nearly killed him in the woods on day one, but Zara came to his rescue. Astley swears that he and Zara are destined to be together, that he's one of the good guys. Nick isn't buying it, though Zara isn't as sure -- despite herself, she wants to trust the new king. But it's a lot more than her relationship with Nick that is at stake. It's her life -- and his.

My Thoughts....& Other Things....

Carrie Jones did it AGAIN! She is such a great writer that Captivate overshadowed Need!

It so ADDICTING to just read Captivate! More steamy romance, awesome Zara and her groupie, and a chilfhanger in the ennding!! This book was so right and purely AWESOME! Carrie Jones made you show what she has and just makes you go like "WHY!?", "Nooooo.WHY CARRIE JONES!!", and you know she isn't afraid of writing what she wants and makes you go like:OMG! NO!

 I just can keep reading her books,especially since it makes you devour them within a day!!! :) Eveveything is great, like the witty and strong Zara, the bubbly Issie, the know it all and half eagle Devyn, and Astley a guys who just like Nick but a pixie. When Astely was introduced I was like:"NOOOOooo! Another guy???!!" but he's really some important person...if you've read the book.. :D Just lots of funny things with a Astley and Nick... :)

And in the end my jaw dropped and I was just wanted to laugh out loud, be angry, since all her books have emotional ending (the good one!)

My Review.....

So Captivate really picked up after Need, the pixies and Zara's freaky stalker who turns out to be a pixie. Things are overtaking Zara like round up pixies and locking them, and Astley who just crawls into her life, Zara has a BIG problem. The pixies who seem to slip one by one out of the metal house and a choice that makes Zara to side with Astley.

 Is Zara making the wrong choices?

Find out in Captivate.......

After reading this I was CAPTIVATED!!!! And in the end, I'm so TEAM Astley! :) Then I so forgot about Nick....and its so Zara and Astley!!! A way better sequel than the first and a recommendation to pixie lovers or paranormal romance this books IS FOR YOU! :) 



5 stars! So GOOD! :)
