Into the Night | Halloween Reads to Make You Howl!

DARK HEART OF MAGIC

Don’t be fooled into thinking that because this is a Young Adult book that it doesn’t pack the same punch as the other books I’ll be mentioning. Involving a friendly tournament that turns downright dangerous, Lila must do everything it takes to survive. Not to mention that there are secrets being revealed that complicates her life greatly. This is perfect for readers who like monsters and mafia-like politics.

About: Something Wicked This Way Comes . . .

As a thief, I stick to the shadows as much as possible. But when the head of the Sinclair Family picks me to compete in the Tournament of Blades, there's no escaping the spotlight--or the danger.

Even though he's my competition, Devon Sinclair thinks I have the best shot at winning what's supposed to be a friendly contest. But when the competitors start having mysterious "accidents," it looks like someone will do anything to win--no matter who they hurt.

As if I didn't have enough to worry about, mobster Victor Draconi is plotting against Devon and the rest of my friends, and someone's going around Cloudburst Falls murdering monsters. One thing's for sure. Sometimes, humans can be more monstrous than anything else...

THE SINGLE UNDEAD MOMS CLUB

Newly turned vampire, Libby Straton doesn’t quite know how to adjust to living this new life she has been given. More on the funny/light side, this is a great romance for people who may want something paranormal but may be too skittish for something too dark and scary.

About: In the next book in Molly Harper’s Half Moon Hollow paranormal romance series, Libby (a widow-turned-vampire) struggles with her transition, and finds out it sucks to be the only vampire member of the PTA…

Widow Libby Stratton arranged to be turned into a vampire after she was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. It wasn’t the best idea she’s ever had, but she was desperate—she’s not about to leave her seven-year-old son to be raised by her rigid, overbearing in-laws.

On top of post-turning transition issues, like being ignored at PTA meetings and other mothers rejecting her son’s invitations for sleepovers, Libby must deal with her father-in-law’s attempts to declare her an unfit mother, her growing feelings for Wade—a tattooed redneck single dad she met while hiding in a closet at Back to School Night—and the return of her sire, who hasn’t stopped thinking about brave, snarky Libby since he turned her.

WHITE TRASH ZOMBIE GONE WILD

This one is for my zombie lovers out there. With lots of ass- kicking and bad guys, WHITE TRASH ZOMBIE GONE WILD is sure to be a fun romp of a book!

About: Angel Crawford has buried her loser past and is cruising along in undead high gear—that is, until a murder-by- decapitation sends her on a hazardous detour.

As Angel hunts for the killer, she uncovers a scheme that would expose zombies to the public and destroy the life she’s built, and she’s determined not to rest until she finds out who’s behind it. Soon she’s neck-deep in lies, redneck intrigue, zombie hunters, and rot- sniffing cadaver dogs. It’s up to her to unravel the truth and snuff out the conspiracy before the existence of zombies makes headline news and she’s outed as a monster.

But Angel hasn’t quite escaped the pill-popping ghosts of her past—not with an illicit zombie pharmaceutical at her fingertips. Good thing she’s absolutely sure she can handle the drug’s unpredictable side effects and still take down the bad guys…or maybe she’s only one bad choice away from being dead meat—for real this time.

Angel knows a thing or two about kicking ass, but now the ass she needs to kick might be her own.
