What screams “read me!” more than a resurrection and possession?! You know me, if there’s one thing I love, it’s horror books!
I found this one today and it sounds pretty awesome.
Also, I started a YA horror 2017 reading list on Goodreads. If you’re interested, add me or keep this link handy to check out upcoming scary reads. I also have a ton of other Goodreads book lists like ghosts, serial killers, and more.
Book: When I Cast Your Shadow
Author: Sarah Porter
Publisher: Tor Teen
Release date: September 12, 2017
A teenage girl calls her beloved older brother back from the grave with disastrous consequences.
Dashiell Bohnacker was hell on his family while he was alive. But it’s even worse now that he’s dead….
After her troubled older brother, Dashiell, dies of an overdose, sixteen-year-old Ruby is overcome by grief and longing. What she doesn’t know is that Dashiell’s ghost is using her nightly dreams of him as a way to possess her body and to persuade her twin brother, Everett, to submit to possession as well.
Dashiell tells Everett that he’s returned from the Land of the Dead to tie up loose ends, but he’s actually on the run from forces crueler and more powerful than anything the Bohnacker twins have ever imagined….
New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Garber (Caraval) calls this book, “Darkly seductive. Sarah Porter’s writing glitters and her storytelling stuns in this twisted tale of siblings, love, and death.”
What do you think? What YA or Middle Grade spooky books are you looking forward to in 2017?
