10. Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer

Don't judge just yet, this is actually a very good novel. This is the re-imagined version of Twilight, this novel switches the genders. This novel shows what would have happened if almost all of the characters gender swapped. This is a very interesting take on this love story. In my opinion this is better than Twilight. I hope you do give this novel a chance and enjoy reading it.


All of these novels are amazing and will bring joy into any reader's life. Everyone of these books are unique, every story takes you on a thrilling journey. I hope you enjoy all of the books I have suggested! Have a great time reading!
