Spooktacular Reads: Which books do you consider festive Halloween reads? Which stories have chilled you to the bone?

There are some books that I'm just happy that I didn't read in Halloween. Because, I would've been scared for life. I'll be honest, I'm NOT easily scared, so if there's a book that I feel fear from, I'm impressed. It takes a lot to manage to scare a reader and I admire the authors that can do that!

There's a special series that I really LOVE. And that's not enough to describe my feeling for the series. Ms. Stolarz is an amazing author and her books are so good. The only series that I've read by her is the Touch series. Those books will always have a part in my heart (I'm not overreacting). These books have scared the cr*p out of me and made me smile, laugh and cry. It's such a beautiful story and I can't wait to see what's going to happen for Camelia and Ben in Deadly Little Voices which is being released December 6th. December is a good time to read the Touch series and I recommend them from the middle of my heart!


 Anna Dressed In Blood

Another series that I really like is The Body Finder series by Kimberly Derting. I remember reading The Body Finder a Sunday night in January and finished it after a couple of hours and felt like I never wanted to leave me house! Ms. Derting is a very talented author and if you haven't read The Body Finder series make sure to do that before The Last Echo is released!

There are also some books that have been recommended for me:

The Name Of The Star

Maureen Johnson

The day Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it's the start of a new life at a London boarding school. But for many, this will be remembered as the day a series of brutal murders broke out across the city, gruesome crimes mimicking the horrific Jack the Ripper in the autumn of 1888.

Soon "Rippermania" takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. Rory spotted the man police now believe to be the prime suspect. But she is the only one who saw him. Even her roommate, who was with her at the time, didn't notice the mysterious man. So why can only Rory see him? And more urgently, why has Rory become his next target? In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, full of suspense, humor, and romance, Rory will learn the truth about the secret ghost police of London and discover her own shocking abilities.

Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.

So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.
When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn't expect anything outside of the ordinary: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.
But she, for whatever reason, spares Cas's life.

Possess
Gretchen McNeil

Fifteen-year-old Bridget Liu just wants to be left alone: by her over-protective mom, by Matt Quinn, the cute son of a local police sergeant, and by the eerie voices she can suddenly and inexplicably hear. Unfortunately for Bridget, the voices are demons—and Bridget possesses the rare ability to banish them back to whatever hell they came from. Literally.
Terrified to tell her friends or family about this new power, Bridget confides in San Francisco’s senior exorcist, Monsignor Renault. The monsignor enlists her help in increasingly dangerous cases of demonic possession, but just as she is starting to come to terms with her freakish new role, Bridget receives a startling message from one of the demons. And when one of her oldest friends is killed, Bridget realizes she’s in deeper than she ever thought possible. Now she must unlock the secret to the demons’ plan before someone else close to her winds up dead—or worse, the human vessel for a demon king.

All three of these sound amazing and I really like them. Have you've read them? What do you think? I'd love to know!

If you have any other recommendations I would love to hear about them! Leave me a link in the comments and I'll make sure to check it out!
