This Halloween I have Spooktacular YA Halloween Book Lists for your enjoyment.
I love Halloween!
On my other book review site, I have lists of books featuring ALL kinds of paranormal creatures:
Zombies aren’t really my thing, but if YOU love them, dangly eyeballs and falling-off limbs and all, I ahve have the
BEST YA Zombie book list!The Hallowed Ones by Laura Bickle (published September 2012)
My summary: It’s late September — nearly time for Rumspringa, a tradition in which young Amish men and women are encouraged to leave the fold and experience secular life before returning to undergo baptism. Katie can’t wait — she’s looking forward to wearing jeans and going to the movies. But when strange things start happen — a helicopter crash, abandoned cars — it becomes apparent that something’s gone terribly wrong in the world. The Amish close their gates to the danger and Katie will have to decide if the greatest threat to her life lies outside her safe, familiar community … or within it.
This book is awesome — read my complete review here! And … click here to check out my interview with Laura!
Possess by Gretchen McNeil (published August 2011)
My summary: Fifteen year-old Bridget Liu is still reeling from the death of father, a police psychologist, the year before. She can’t believe her mother is already dating again. Since her dad’s death, she’s discovered a strange new talent: banishing demons. The Monsignor at her Catholic school has secretly enlisted her help with a few exorcisms around the neighborhood. How can she possibly manage all this, plus the cute guy at school who has a thing for her — a guy who also happens to be the son of the police chief. As Bridget comes to terms with her new abilities, she’ll also discover new and disturbing facts about her father’s murder. Loved this one —

Welcome to my blog!!!
Possess was such a surprise for me when I read it last summer! I really enjoyed it! And The Hallowed Ones is definitely a great pick for this time of year! 🙂
Thanks — I really liked them both 🙂
Oooh, I've been wanting these two books! 🙂 Great choices!
They're both really good!
You've totally sold me on The Hollowed Ones and I love your finger zombies!
They're so cute!!
Girl do you know how many good times it would be to scare my kids with the zombie finger puppets? *shakes my head* definitely good times. It's funny we were just talking about The Hallowed Ones and Gretchen McNeil too! I am so looking forward to reading both of these books!
Ha ha — if Rafflecopter picks you, I'm throwing in plastic cockroaches!!!
The more the merrier lol! My husband said I am going to send them through counseling but nah! they can handle it. My four year old is the funniest because he hates ladybugs, grasshoppers, and daddy long legs spiders. Man I love being a mom! lol
Note: I really do love my children and only get a small amount of amusement from teasing them. 😉
I totally get it. Kids need to have a sense of humor! My kids are also total bug-o-phobes…..
I've been looking forward to reading The Hallowed Ones forever! And the zombie finger puppets…hilarious. I'll wear them when I watch The Walking Dead 🙂 Thanks, Jen!!
I am too scared to watch that show. But I love the idea of the zombies watching with you!
It is so good! It is freaky but so awesome 🙂 My daughter won't watch it with me either! My son used to but there was too much mushy stuff for him lol. He's 15 now but was 13 when it started.
Maybe I'll try it. Maybe. Zombies are my greatest phobia….
The Hollowed Ones looks awesome! and who doesn't love finger puppets? Thanks for the giveaways!
What an awesome giveaway! xD I've been dying to read both of these. 🙂
