First in Second Chance trilogy. One day after she was killed, Bree Tanner woke up again. She quickly found out that, somehow, she was alive again. Her close encounter with death left her with some questions. What kind of death is justifiable? The killing of humans and animals for food? Bringing someone back to life, even if that person could harm loved ones later?

Preface

I thought back to my belief, to my firm conviction, that no kind of murder is justifiable. I didn't want to be like my father. I didn't want to kill. I was willing to suffer, myself, if it meant that I wasn't to blame with one's death. I had decided it was wrong to murder.

But this, this was something different. Was it right, was it justifiable, to let someone die? If I could save him, even if he was my mortal enemy, shouldn't I? Was it right to bring someone back from the dead? Was it right to defy the laws of nature? If bringing him back could potentially cause the deaths of the ones I loved, was it right to save him?
