Shifter, weres, vampires, witches . . . a series for the Halloween season.

One of my fave series, I decided to try the audio version. Lorelei King is a fabulous narrator.

Book 6 for #scarathlon #teamharkness
#screamathon

Also fits prompts for #bookpathfinder #thrilloween #readlikehellathon #spooktober #bookishbingo

I may have overcommitted for October. 😆

alisiakae I might move these up higher if it‘s a fave series of yours! I have them on my TBR but can‘t get past the cheesy covers for some reason. 4y
BehindthePages One of my favorite series! 4y
xxjenadanxx @4thhouseontheleft it's also one of my favorites of all time. 4y
ravenlee One of my two favorite series, too. I‘ve been contemplating a reread, with the Alpha and Omega books in their proper places. 4y

Meh. Lack of world building & lack of character development combined with too many lucky escapes, too many convenient reappearances of other characters. It reads like an old school dungeon video game. 2 stars

2d #bookspin bingo book and 5th #scarathlon (#TeamHarkness) & #screamathon book

Another 1.5 hrs for #CYOreadathon #bookpathfinder #thrilloween #readlikehellathon #spooktober & #bookishbingo

I love the cover. And the narrator does a good job. But I‘ve never been a huge fan of retellings, and less of YA retellings. This book did not change that opinion.

It‘s okay but overly predictable, relies too heavily on the Disney version, & lacks character development. But I did appreciate the author weaving in actual Danish history.

Book 4 for #scarathlon #teamharkness & #screamathon
8 hrs for #CYOreadathon + free space on my #bookspin bingo

Sace How disappointing! Sounds like a really good concept. 4y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4y

A fun cozy mystery featuring a witch as the MC. I thought the magic system was fun. Overall, I enjoyed it & will be reading the next book in the series.

The Halloween Tree | Ray Bradbury

A wonderfully imaginative book. Set on Halloween night, 8 boys set out to find their missing leader. They meet a mysterious figure who takes them on a fantastical adventure, from Ancient Egypt to modern day Mexico, to explore the roots & sources of Halloween.

I will definitely make this an annual Halloween read.

Read-y_Picker I‘m definitely going to try and track this down 4y
StayCurious This is on my list as well! Make sure to give yourself full points for the Halloween read - and count all those readathons! (edited) 4y

Read-y_Picker @wanderinglynn me too! So excited. I‘ve got the audiobook lined up for today. 4y
Kenyazero Have you seen the animated movie of this book? I watched it all the time as a kid and was extatic when I learned it was based on a book. Bradbury narrates the film. 4y
wanderinglynn @Kenyazero did not know it was a movie. 4y
EclecticBookLover @Kenyazero same thing for me! I love the movie and was pleased the movie was close to the book. 4y

I‘m alternating these #screamathon & #scarathlon reads:

The tagged (e-book)–a fun cozy mystery featuring witches (#TeamHarkness). I‘m at about 50% & I like it so far.

Wolfgang (physical)–a vampire hunter novel features with loads of monsters.

The Halloween Tree (audio)–a short (3hrs) fantasy-horror adventure.

4hrs so far for #CYOreadathon & rapid readers #bookpathfinder #readlikehellathon#spooktober & #thrilloween + #bookspin & #bookishbingo

Sace I love that cover for Halloween Tree! 4y
