I have one or two of hers. I'll have to look and see what it is I have!
OK, I have First Days
and Blood and Love and Other Vampire Tales.
So not the Bride series.

Sounds like a great challenge, I'll have to make sure I don't bog myself down with other books so I can join. Rhiannon is a great horror writer, she isn't afraid to rip out the heart of her readers, lol. I have
,
and
but I haven't read them yet. I've read her new serial though:
- It's actually a series of 6 super short books. I found it to be super creepy and I couldn't sleep for a few nights because of it.
- Really creepy and detailed. I haven't read the second one though, so I'm not sure what that one is like.
The Madman's Daughter is a good YA gothic. The Body Finder & I Hunt Killers series are seriously creepy looking they the eyes of killers.
I thought Anna Dressed in Blood was a joke of a horror novel. I went into it expecting horror, and just got a very strange, and not-for-me, romance! haha

I have both of the first books in this series and I keep putting them off! May be a good time (if I can get the niece to give me back IHK ;)

It actually had a younger Supernatural type vibe.

Thank you! You're the first person I've found who feels the same as me about that book haha

I listened to audio & didn't near enjoy it as much as the reviews of other's. Actually, I was on the disappointed side.

So I read
for the Halloween horror challenge and really enjoyed it. It's super creepy. I did not expect it to be THAT scary but, man...it was! I DEF recommend it to all of you who want a really scary book that plays like a scary movie in your head...*shudders* just thinking about it....
I'm a few chapters into The Waking Darkand it's really creepy. Definitely glad I saved it for October.

I'm trying to decide which of these to read before Halloween... Well, hopefully two of them..Thoughts? Read any?
Delia's Shadow
Masque of the Red Death
Anna Dressed in Blood
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer
I've read all but the first and I think all of them were 5 stars from me. If I remember correctly. Anna is my fave of the 3
@Melissa - ok!! Is it mega creepy?!@ Sarah Jane- Really?! Holy crap! They're all that good?! So, you'd say the bottom 3 tie all 5 stars each?
If so-- I'll start with Mara Dyer and Anna Dressed in blood! Delia's shadow is a review book..so I'll read it for sure anyway
Apparently I'm wrong - 5 stars for masque, 4.5 for anna, and 4 for mara. But I still standby Anna being my favorite even though my ratings are different LOL
I was one of those weird people that didnt like Anna. It wasn't as creepy as I thought it would be and it took me awhile to figure out the MC was a boy haha.
Mara was pretty creepy. It messes with your mind. You don't know what's real and what's not

I love Anna Dressed in Blood and the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. I had some issues with Masque of the Red Death, so it's my least favorite of the three.
I adore Mara - SO CREEPY and twisty. Anna wasn't for me either, but it does have a young Supernatural (the TV show) feel to it. Although I adore the show, I didn't so much the book...haha
Masque was dark and really good as well!
