characters of the shadow falls series by c. c. hunter

It’s October aka Spooky Season! I love Halloween and I love fall, however I am the BIGGEST chicken in the world (specifically when it comes to ghosts/paranormal stuff).  I can’t watch scary movies. The last time I was in a haunted house was 6th grade and I cried the whole time.  We went to Fright Fest at Six Flags last year and I was literally so scared even before any of the actors came out I felt like I was going to puke all day.  This is an actual depiction of me:

Since I am such a big giant baby, I thought I’d share some of my favorite non-horror, yet still a little spooky or adrenaline pumping books, for other book loving chickens. Most of these are thrillers, some are fantasy. In addition to a tiny summary I’ll add the goodreads link to each book!

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

There’s Someone in Your House by Stephanie Perkins

Shadow Falls Series by C.C Hunter
