Calling all Twihards: Want to enjoy a fun freebie? In case you haven’t heard, Twilight author Stephanie Meyer is looking to give back to the millions of fans who’ve made Twilight a pop cultural phenomenon.

Between now and July 5th, you can read her new Twilight spin-off, The Short Second Life of Bree Turner free online.  While you can’t download or print up a copy, those with iPads or portable laptops shouldn’t have any problem dragging their favorite high-tech devices to the beach or the pool with them. In fact, this short little novella is such a fast read (trust us, we started it last night and we’re already on page 89), it’s certainly worth the time and hassle.

Told from the perspective of Bree Turner, a newbie vampire in Victoria’s army, the story follows the teen as she struggles to understand why she was made, and how she’s meant to be a pawn in an army against an enemy (the Cullens) she doesn’t even know.
