A mere footnote in the world of Twlight. Bree Tanner, a young girl, turned newborn vamp by the evasive and deceptive efforts of Victoria (anti-climatic villian.) Meyer needed this closure more for herself, than for us as readers. Walking a mile in this newborn's shoes is more gooey with plot than necessary. I prefer the simplicity in Eclipse. Bree was perhaps omitted by a skillful editor.

If exploring the world further through the eyes of a newborn was what Meyer wanted to do, then it should have been a stand alone story without the crossover. By the end of this cute little bedtime drama, I felt as if I was reading a deleted scene from Eclipse.

Thank S. Meyer, but next time wash your losses down with a shot of JD. The burn will bring you closer to Bree than this sappy underdeveloped footnote.
