Happy Halloween!

In celebration of one of my all time favorite holidays, I thought I'd do my first ever tag post. This is the "Creatures of the Night" created by Katytastic on YouTube. Go check out her booktube channel if you want to see her video. Basically for this tag there is a list of supernatural beings, and I'm going to pick my favorite of these monsters from books I've read. So let's get going!

1. Vampire: Gotta go with a classic for this one. I choose the vampires from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. These will forever be my favorite vampires. Not only are they super hard to kill, but they each come with a sort of super power. What more could you ask for?

2. Werewolf: I'm going to count a new read for this one. I choose the beast from The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd. I can't tell you who the beast/werewolf man is, but he is very scary and intriguing.


3. Zombie: For this one I choose the "zombies" from Stung by Bethany Wiggins. This is a post-apocalyptic book about what happens when bees go extinct, and the the genetic modified bees they create carry a disease. The cure for the disease is only given the the countries most gifted children, how it's the cure that turns them into flesh eating beasts. There is just something really ironic about the gifted children they're trying to save being the ones who turn into the beasts.

4. Ghost: Hereafter by Tara Hudson. This is about a ghost and a human who fall in love. Not the most original story, but the the book is actually quite entertaining.

5. Which/Wizard: I've been wracking my brain and I cannot think of a book with a wizard in it. And before you recommend Harry Potter, well...I'm not the biggest Harry Potter fan. There's nothing wrong with the books, and I actually enjoy the movies, but I have no interest to read seven books about a genre I usually get bored with within the first two chapters. I've tried, and they are just not for me. But yeah, no books with a wizard. Sorry.

6. Fairy: I don't read many books with fairies in them, just because I'm not a huge fantasy fan. But, one fairy book I've read and loved is Wings by Aprilyn Pike. These fairies are basically like flowers and the society that they set up is actually very interesting.

7. Demon: For this one I am going to count Everneath by Brodi Ashton. There aren't any demons in the book, but a lot of it takes place in the underworld, so I feel like Cole and the other underworld dweller can count as demons.

8. Angel: My favorite angel is Patch from Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. He's just great. Seriously, read the book.

9. Alien: I love the aliens from The Host  by Stephenie Meyer. These aliens, or "souls," are interesting because they are very peaceful, kind creatures, but they still manage to take over the human race.

10. Superpowered Human: Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. This book is a lot like X-men but the superpowers some of the characters have are actually really cool. Like the main character who kills anyone who makes contact with her skin.

I hope you enjoyed this post, and hopefully got some recommendations for a spooky Halloween read!
