Told from deat's perspective. Very interesting way to present the voice of a novel.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella (Twilight Saga)
I didn't give it a 5 because I didn't want it to end.
The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner - Stephenie Meyer
A Tale of Two Cities (Dover Thrift Editions)

If a teen is reading this please give the story time to unfold. It's well worth it.
