Happy Halloween Spooky Readers,
Today’s spooky post is all about books that are coming out this month just in time for the spooky season. While doing research for this post my TBR has grown as I only have two books pre-ordered The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston and Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw.

I am using cover images I have found through google I do not own any rights and am using the image purely for future review purposes (Fair use under the copyright act sections 29 and 30 under use for a review).

the consequences of their choices. What
