[tps_title]Jenna Johnson’s Picks:[/tps_title]
1. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
I love this series so much! It was the first creepy series I ever got into, and even now I still think that it is the best. Especially in this first novel in the series, there are so many creepy moments that it was hard for me to sleep at night after reading. It’s psychologically thrilling with a touch of the paranormal, and the main character, Mara Dyer, and her love interest, Noah Shaw, are both such dark and twisty characters. The final book comes out next month and if anyone hasn’t read this series yet I would definitely recommend that you start it now as it is the perfect Halloween read!
2. Nevermore by Kelley Creagh
This book has TONS of Edgar Allen Poe references and a goth boy who brings a bright cheerleader type into his own creepy dream world. It’s dark and creepy and I really loved it!

3. Six Months Later by Natalie Richards
Chloe falls asleep during study hall in May and somehow wakes up six months later to a totally different life and can’t remember anything that has happened since. Six Months Later was a really great creepy thriller that I just blew through when I read it!

4. The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters
The Cure for Dreaming is the perfect Halloween read that has tons of Dracula references, includes loads of creepy hypnotism, and people who truly are monsters on the inside!

5. Amber House by Kelly Moore, Tucker Reed, Larkin Reed
Amber House is essentially a haunted house/ghost story. But it’s not like any other ghost story I’ve ever read. The house was really the creepiest part of this series. It’s three centuries old and has a hedge maze and secret chambers. If that’s not enough to creep you out, then I’m not sure what is!
