Imagine a ghost story featuring creepy Victorian era ghost girls with tragic backstories and a barrage of supernatural goings-on to torment the main character, except instead of taking place in a spooky old mansion or a crumbling castle, it’s set on a tropical island with beautiful aquamarine beaches, palm trees, and colorful flowers. That’s The Depths, and…
I am always immediately in whenever I hear that Danielle has a new book coming out. (For anyone who is new to her work, Danielle Valentine is a pen name utilized by the author who also goes by Danielle Vega and Danielle Rollins, the author of the The Merciless series, The Haunted duology, Stolen Time, and quite a few other…
Many of us lovers of all things spoopy basically consider late July/early August the beginning of spoopy season (basically whenever Halloween themed merch starts hitting the shelves at At Home, it’s on, right?), so if you’re looking for thematically appropriate reads before October, you’re in luck: Penguin Teen has two spooky new books coming out…
I recently read two almost-fall (let’s be serious late August/early September is pretty much fall for all us pumpkin/spooky/sweater-and-boots outfit lovers) new releases from Penguin Teen. Thank you again Penguin Teen for the ARCs in exchange for reviews! The first one was The Companion, a YA spooky horror/thriller by Katie Alender which was just released…

So some of you may remember that I absolutely loved the YA contemporary fantasy novel The Hearts We Sold by Emily Lloyd-Jones. (Some of you probably remember that mostly because I recommend it to you every chance I get and will not stop until you read it.) So when I found out that Emily was…
Oh, hello, spoopy babies. It’s time for another spoopy book review. This time we are talking about The Haunted, the latest release from one of my favorite YA horror authors, Ms. Danielle Vega/Rollins (probably best known for being the author of The Merciless series). This one, like the The Merciless and Survive the Night, is…
Today I’m going to be talking about a super hyped YA novel just released in May of this year, in addition to a fun YA slasher (that’s right, I used fun and slasher together) by Stephanie Perkins, author of the popular Anna and the French Kiss series. That’s right, today is a good old-fashioned two-for-one.…
It is one week until Halloween (eeee!) and it’s time for my third round of spooky book recommendations for your Halloween TBR! Does this mean I’m done recommending spooky books forever?
