What are your top Halloween-y books? Leave me a link to your post below! Once a Witch by Carolyn McCullough- A young witch, constantly in the shadow of her older sister's glory discovers her powers and a bit of love and time travel in between. Vampires with the ability to control the elements constantly attacked by bad nasty vampires! Maybe I just trivialised it, but it's still good.ġ0. The Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead- A great vampire series and a staple paranormal genre. A Witch in Winter by Ruth Warburton- In a cold English village, Anna uncovers magic and an Old English spell book. I think it would do the job to get you to think about Halloween!Ĩ. The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine- A city is run by vampires and Claire is caught up in their ranks. And it's some pretty good paranormal romance!ħ. Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater- It's so autumnal with werewolves that turn when the weather cools. The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa- You've got some bad-ass vampires and a disease that turns people into ravenous zombie vampires. Plus when you throw in some magic, you just can't go wrong!ĥ. Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl- There's something about Southern Gothic architecture and swampy landscapes that scream 'Haunted Mansion' for me. And you can literally choose any spooky story you can imagine!Ĥ. The Goosebumps Books by RL Stine- They are technically kids' books, but I used to love them when I was younger.

If this doesn't put you in the mood for Halloween ghost hunting, I don't know what will!ģ. Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake- This book is a fantastic YA Horror novel. The Harry Potter Series by JK Rowling- There's nothing better than pumpkin juice, floating jack-o-lanterns, and magic wands to remind you of Halloween. From reading the book, I strongly feel as though it will be an extremely visually driven movie, as the book is quite setting focused. The movie based on this book is in serious talks with DreamWorks and producer David Heyman. The architecture and setting described is (not surprisingly) Russian inspired, but I thought Leigh Bardugo was masterful at setting the scene. Ravka is a cold and dismal place, but you can't help thinking of the hope the people could have. Each order has their place in the world and the world is really captivating. Magic wielding soldiers with their own orders and rankings with the power to summon elements like wind, the power to heal or hurt human beings, or the power to make weapons and mystical technology. The idea of the Grisha themselves kept me glued to the pages. If you want a creative fantasy world with top-notch story telling, look no further than this author's debut novel. Alina's story and the world of Ravka have been playing in my mind ever since I put down the book. I know this book as one freaking fantastic fantasy novel.

Most people will know this book as Shadow and Bone.
