I may or may not be an oddball but I really enjoy reading books that resonate with the season we are currently in. Halloween is quickly approaching which made it the perfect time for me to read Scared: Ten Tales of Horror edited by Rayne Hall. The leaves are changing colors, it is getting darker earlier, and it is always chilly at night (at least in Ohio). In my opinion, one of the most enjoyable ways to spend a fall evening is curled up on the couch, sipping coffee/hot chocolate, with a fire in the fireplace while enjoying a scary story. Ahhh perfection! Scared is a great collection of stories that offers a little something for everyone and held my attention long enough for me to finish reading this book in one sitting. It is definitely on my reading recommendation list!I thoroughly enjoyed the entire read but there are some stories that really grabbed my attention and stuck with me long after the read. Out of Order by Karen Heard and The Loft by Liv Rancourt totally creeped me out. The authors touch on one of my major fears in life by looking at vulnerability. I’m not afraid of situations where I am in control, what I fear most is being caught off guard and unable to protect myself. Family Heirloom by Pamela Turner, Ring of Stones by Donna Johnson, and Life in Miniature by Tracie McBride were fantastic stories that had me leaning in a little closer and drinking in every word as I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. Death Comes for Maggie McDaniel by Grayson Bray Morris and Druid Stones by Rayne Hall really made me stop and think. These two stories really hit a cord with me as I read. I could feel my pulse increase and there were a couple of times when I even gasped or shook my head.Please check out our FULL review by visiting us at Griffin's Honey  [...]
