Bree Tanner, Newborn Vampire Army

Bree Tanner is a fictional character from The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer and is the subject of her spin-off novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. In the Twilight film Eclipse she is played by Jodelle Ferland.

Bree Tanner was one of the newborn vampires created by Victoria for her army, created with the intention of wreaking revenge on the Cullens for killing her lover James to save Bella.

There was little mention of the newborns in the original saga, with Bree only enjoying a fleeting moment of focus in Eclipse, but the book The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner goes back and looks at the Eclipse story from Bree's point of view, letting readers in on the life of the newborns before they attacked the Cullens.

Of course, we know the end of the tale, because Bree was killed by Jane in Eclipse. But what we didn't know was who she was, or what happened to her and the newborns before they came for Bella. Now, Bree's story has finally been told.

Four reasons to love Bree Tanner

Endearing traits and facts about Bree

* She managed to resist Bella's blood at the end of Eclipse and would have had the potential to join the Cullens had the Volturi not intervened

* She was a bookworm who managed to stay out of the way of the brawling out-of-control newborns

* Although she went along with Victoria's army, she had no desire to be bad

* She believed in vampire lore and superstitions, believing she could get staked and would burn if she went out in sunlight

Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by the riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character 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. 'I'm as surprised as anyone about this novella,' said Stephenie Meyer. 'When I began working on it in 2005, it was simply an exercise to help me examine the other side of Eclipse, which I was editing at the time. I thought it might end up as a short story that I could include on my website. Then, when work started on The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, I thought the Guide would be a good fit for my Bree story. However, the story grew longer than I anticipated, until it was too long to fit into the Guide.'
