"I wasn't sure what to expect, and with open mind I picked up this novella. I was very pleasantly surprised. There were new characters, and their stories very intriguing, the language was beautiful and the story had very interesting moments. I really enjoyed it, even for those who don't like the Twilight series I would recommend it."

" Personally, if you like Stephanie Meyer's whole Twilight series, you will enjoy this book. Based on Eclipse is young Bree Tanner who is only 16. She becomes a vampire to Riley's coven and is well.... I dont want to ruin the story for you!! "
— Brianna, 10/7/2013 -
" For me, this is just typical Stephenie Meyer- female meets a godlike male and instantly falls for him and cannot live without him. The novella was ok I suppose, but I didn't really like it. "
— Emma, 9/18/2013 -

About Stephenie Meyer
Stephenie Meyer is the bestselling author of the widely popular Twilight Saga. It all started on June 2, 2003, when the stay-at-home mother of three young sons woke up from a dream featuring seemingly real characters that she could not get out of her head. She invented the plot during the day then wrote it out late at night, when the house was quiet. Three months later she finished her first novel, Twilight. Twilight was one of 2005’s most talked about novels, and within weeks of its release the book debuted at number five on the New York Times bestseller list. The highly-anticipated sequel, New Moon, was released in September 2006 and has spent more than twenty-five weeks at the number-one position on the New York Times bestseller list. In 2007, Eclipse landed literally around the world and fans made the Twilight Saga a worldwide phenomenon. Meyer’s highly anticipated debut novel for adults, The Host, debuted at number one on the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. The Twilight novels have since been made into blockbuster films, launching Meyer even further into the spotlight.
