Even though I don’t usually read horror, I’m really tempted by Alice and The Butterfly Garden. Great list!

I loooove The Butterfly Garden. Its sequel was pretty good, too! The Roanoke Girls was another one I really enjoyed, though it wasn’t as creepy as I expected it to be – moreso just very disturbing.

I’ve heard brilliant things about The Butterfly Garden and a lot of mixed reviews of The Roanoke Girls so it will be interesting to see what I make of them.

I’ll definitely be interested in hearing your thoughts! I think most of my friends have hated The Roanoke Girls, which I can understand, because it felt like a polarizing read even as I was reading it, but man, I 5-starred that so hard 😂😂😂
(Also, I think in another comment I was all “I’ll check out your list!” but I totally had already sooo disregard that 😂)

Yes I’ve heard VERY polarising opinions of TRG so I’m keen to see what I make of it!

Hi Kelly, what a great Halloween inspired list! I haven’t read any of these either but… The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and The Butterfly Garden are both on my TBR… I heard both are fantastic!

I’m absolutely awful with scary/creepy reads, so not sure if I’ll read any of these, although they do sound intruding! I’ve heard so much about My Best Friend’s Exorcism and also Alice (which is the one I’m most interested in) though, so may have a look at them.

My favourite Halloween books are more the magical fantasy kind of type, I’m really afraid of anything horror! You’re much braver than I’m that’s for sure! 😂

I don’t read a lot of horror books but this month I did squeeze in a few and did actually quite like them. Not sure I’ll ever be brave enough for ‘IT’ though!

Alice was so good, very dark and perfect for a scary read. I highly recommend it!

I loved the Disappearances though. I love magical realism, and barely ever see it 😊

I read The Roanoke Girls earlier this year and I thought it was amazing. I am currently reading well listening to It on audiobook.

The Butterfly Garden and The Roanoke Girls are fantastic, so I hope you enjoy those! ❤️ I’ve had Ragdoll and IT on my TBR for so long now, and I’m pretty sure I’d love them if I just read them already! 😂
