Two weeks ago I made a post about books with witches in (link!) and today's post is kind of a follow-up on that. Here are some of my favourite paranormal creatures in YA! The Drowning of Arthur Braxton - Caroline SmailesWhatever half the characters in this book are, they're not human. There's at least two different kinds of paranormal creature, but I'm not going to say what they are, as that would spoil the book. This book is paranormal without being obviously so, it's too grounded to be a proper paranormal creepy story and that gives the whole thing a bit of a magical vibe. The Drowning - Rachel WardAfter his brother dies, Carl starts seeing and hearing him around. This feels like more than just hallucinations from guilt or whatever, and it gave me the creeps. Coraline - Neil GaimanA creepy classic for all ages. Neil Gaiman made up his own kind of paranormal creatures and he got a hit. They're scary as heck and I can't believe this is actually a children's book. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - Ransom RiggsRansom Riggs built this entire world with different types of paranormal creatures and a paranormal setting and everything is insanely good. I can't imagine anyone who loves YA wouldn't have at least read the first book of this series, but if you haven't, this series is honestly a gem and you should definitely try it! Throne of Glass - Sarah J. MaasThis book has elves, witches, magic, pretty much all the paranormal fantasy stuff you could wish for. I haven't finished this series yet, but I'm really enjoying it. Perhaps in later books there are more creatures that I haven't met yet. This series is another YA classic and I'd recommend it to everyone. Another Day - David LevithanI KNOW I should read the original book, Every Day, but I still haven't gotten round to it. I liked Another Day though. The book itself wasn't super great, but I liked the concept a lot. I haven't got a clue what kind of paranormal creature A is, but I love it and would love to read more about this type of creature. I haven't been able to find anything like this so far, however, so if you have any recommendations hit me up! Those are some of my faves! What are yours? Let me know!
