Much like Sarah Dessen's Dreamland, I'm glad I didn't read this when it first came out, as it wouldn't have been as impactful. A little hard to read at times due to the emotions and trauma, but I appreciate the raw honesty and the ending, as well as the characters.

I was in a reading slump for a good portion of this year, I had a terrible accident and suffered an ankle break and subsequent surgery. I had not read for months and months and this was the book that got me back into a groove! I thoroughly enjoyed it and loved the dark romance, enemies to lovers vibe. The author does a good job of forwarding the readers of possible triggers. I loved reading it.

I have heard so much about this book. Now I‘m going to read the first chapter. Wish me luck! #hauntingadeline #hdcarlton

“I don‘t care if you‘re good for me,” I say. I kiss him deep and hard. I kiss him like he kissed me at the art show—like I‘ll eat him alive.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We love a good dark romance, and this one is chef‘s kiss!

A couple of these might be a bit more #YA than #MiddleGrade, and I‘m not sure they all have ghosts, but this seemed as good a time as any to share my October recommendation shelf.

The tagged is my favorite spooky read to recommend. For a long time the reader doesn‘t know if it‘s a ghost story or if the main character is hallucinating.
