We always hear about summer reading or beach reading, but what about books for the rest of the year? Keeping with the theme of Halloween, I decided to go through my bookshelves to find some that fit the spirit of the Halloween season. With so many to choose from, I decided to chose in the most scientific way…wrote down the names of all my favorite authors then picked five out of a hat!

Here they are, the four horsemen of the apocalypse (well, three horsemen and a horsewoman anyway). A long time ago, a prophecy was given, with two possible outcomes.

Just who or what is he? (Books in the correct reading order:  Darkfever, Bloodfever, Faefever, Dreamfever, Shadowfever. Spinoff – Iced comes out on 10/30)

  1. Very cool, thanks for this list. I’ve added a couple to my GoodReads list. I’ve always prefered thrillers and horror books like Dean K, or Stephen King over fantasy, but I saw a couple titles and synopses that caught my attention. Thanks for the list. Lords of Deliverance sounds interesting.

  2. For many years my reading has been organized around authors… picking one and then working my way through all they have written. My most recent was Jose Saramago, Nobel Laureate in Literature from Portugal. His novels are challenging, inspiring, a little dark and the old cliche, “couldn’t put it down” never rang more true.

    1. There are so many great ones out there! As I said in the post, I had to pick names out of a hat since I have so many favorites. The Elementals are on my to-be-read list…just need more hours in a day to read everything!
