October is one of my favourite months! With the cooler weather, the leaves falling from the trees, the furnace coming on, AND the scary books and movies! This month I’ll be sharing some of my favourite spoooooky books with you!

Sixteen-year-old Rinn Jacobs has secrets: One, she’s bipolar. Two, she killed her grandmother.
After a suicide attempt, and now her parents’ separation, Rinn and her mom move from California to the rural Ohio town where her mother grew up. Back on her medications and hoping to stay well, Rinn settles into her new home, undaunted by the fact that the previous owner hanged herself in Rinn’s bedroom. At school, her classmates believe the school pool is haunted by Annaliese, a girl who drowned there. But when a reckless séance goes awry, and terrible things start happening to her new friends—yet not to her—Rinn is determined to find out why she can’t be “touched” by Annaliese…or if Annaliese even exists.
With the help of Nate Brenner, the hunky “farmer boy” she’s rapidly falling for, Rinn devises a dangerous plan to uncover the truth. Soon reality and fantasy meld into one, till Rinn finds it nearly impossible to tell the difference. When a malevolent force threatens the lives of everyone she cares about–not to mention her own–she can’t help wondering: who should she really be afraid of?
Annaliese? Or herself?
This is my kind of horror story! I rarely get scared by horror books and while I might feel slightly more on edge in between bouts of reading a scary book, I’m rarely scared while reading. But THIS book was fantastic. It was one of those books that had me genuinely spooked out while reading and I LOVE that. I even had to put it aside at night while reading because I was scared!
What is one of your favourite spooky books?
