Halloween: Origins, Meaning & Traditions - HISTORY


Today's TTT is a Halloween One, so I have decided to go with my Top Ten Things I love to read about in what's considered "scary books".

1. Stalkers - I love reading novels where the characters are being stalked.

2. Ghosts - I love reading books where the main character can see or talk to the the dead - think The Mediator by Meg Cabot.
 
3. Murder - the more gruesome the better as I love my novels vivid.

4.  Mysterious Objects - I love books where an object has some connection to the past e.g The Locket by Stacey Jay.
 
5. Serial Killers - Love my Serial Killer novels.
 
6. Missing Persons - Love my mystery novels that include missing persons especially more so if they are missing kids or teens.
 
7.  Demons -  I love the quirky fun fantasy novels e.g Demon Bound by Chris Cannon, where you just can't help but love the demon characters.

8. Slasher Style - Love those books that are like the Slasher 90's films where one character is about to exact revenge on the rest of the cast in the book e.g Ten by Gretchen McNeil.

9. Mistaken Identities - Love the Mistaken Identity where someone is killed because they looke like you and now the killer is actually after you .

10. Karma Bites Back - Love the mystery novels that something happened Ten years ago etc and now Karma has come back and that case has resurfaced and now you must figure out a way to keep your secret still buried.

    All of these are giving me chills! Stalkers kind of freak me out in general -- whether it's horror or romantic type.

    Demons are very creepy. Especially if they resemble the real ones.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens.

We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
