This month's books will be themed around Halloween, of course! So get ready for some spooky books! ONE OF US IS LYING - KAREN M. MCCMANUS SYNOPSIS: Pay close attention and you might solve this. On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention. Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule. Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess. Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing. Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher. And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app. Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. On Monday, he died. But on Tuesday, he’d planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose? Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them. I accidentally got spoiled for this book by a book club on Instagram that posted a very very important fact in the first line of a picture description without putting a Spoiler alert, so although that's super disappointing I'm still very excited to read this! VANISHING GIRLS - LAUREN OLIVER SYNOPSIS: Dara and Nick used to be inseparable, but that was before the accident that left Dara's beautiful face scarred and the two sisters totally estranged. When Dara vanishes on her birthday, Nick thinks Dara is just playing around. But another girl, nine-year-old Madeline Snow, has vanished, too, and Nick becomes increasingly convinced that the two disappearances are linked. Now Nick has to find her sister, before it's too late. A good old scary mystery! I've been making myself wait for this till October but now that it's October I can finally read it!! CHECK-OUT - JUULTJE VAN DEN NIEUWENHOF SYNOPSIS: During a school trip, a group chat is made from the phone of a classmate who has died, another classmate gets into an accident and has to go to hospital, and scary snuff movies are found. During a performance of The Blue Man Group the classmates find out the truth about their classmate's death. I wasn't going to get this book as it's only available in Dutch, but it just sounds so creepy and awesome and it's only short anyway, so I'm going to squeeze it into this month! MICE - GORDON REECE SYNOPSIS: Shelley and her mom have been menaced long enough. Excused from high school where a trio of bullies nearly killed her, and still reeling from her parents' humiliating divorce, Shelley has retreated with her mother to the quiet of Honeysuckle Cottage in the countryside. Thinking their troubles are over, they revel in their cozy, secure life of gardening and books, hot chocolate and Brahms by the fire. But on the eve of Shelley's sixteenth birthday, an unwelcome guest disturbs their peace and something inside Shelley snaps. What happens next will shatter all their certainties-about their safety, their moral convictions, the limits of what they are willing to accept, and what they're capable of. This sounds like more of a psychological thriller than a proper scary one, but I'm going to give it a try anyway. It sounds cool! THE DROWNING - RACHEL WARD SYNOPSIS: What happens if you've done something terrible? But you can't remember what. And you don't know how to put it right ...When Carl opens his eyes on the banks of a lake, his brother is being zipped into a body bag. What happened in the water? He can't remember And when he glimpses a beautiful girl he thinks he recognizes, she runs away. Suddenly he knows he must find her - because together they must face the truth before it drowns them. I honestly have no idea what to expect from this, but it was marked "scary" by my library so here we go. THERE'S SOMEONE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE - STEPHANIE PERKINS SYNOPSIS: One-by-one, the students of Osborne High are dying in a series of gruesome murders, each with increasing and grotesque flair. As the terror grows closer and the hunt intensifies for the killer, the dark secrets among them must finally be confronted. By the time I'm posting this, I haven't got this book yet as it's not yet available on the Book Depository. I am planning on ordering it for my birthday (October 21!) so I'm hoping to get it in time to read it for Halloween Month! I LOVE STEPHANIE PERKINS!! Six books on my TBR for October. That's kind of optimistic, but I think I can do it! Look forward to a lot of Spooky themed blog posts this month!!
