Hallo, Hallo #SpooktasticReads!

Originally, when this little wicked event was hosted on my blog outside of Wyrd And Wonder, it did encompass stories of Mystery, Suspense and Thriller. I try to still keep those stories within my own readings during our event every October but I sometimes fall short of their inclusion!

This year, I decided to seek out a few stories which dipped their toes into the 'Mystery' aisle and still befit our event. Two of the novels I discovered "The Bell Tolls at Traeger Hall" and "Tempest at Annabel's Lighthouse" are Gothic as much as their ghostly and suspenseful. They're both time shift Historical narratives too as their anchoured in the past and the present.

With "Keeper of Enchanted Rooms", I went a bit lighter, a bit more whimsical and one which involves sentient houses! There is mystery afoot within this story in a different way that the other two I selected whilst it is definitely a Fantasy novel.

---

All of these lovelies were borrowed at my local library, and I am so grateful it remains a resource of finding stories to read during our #WyrdAndWonder events.

The Resurrection of Evania James by Jaime Jo Wright

In 1879, when Eloise James's sister Evania goes missing after being admitted to an asylum, Eloise sets out to find her and instead finds evidence of dying patients and grave robbers. In the present day, Tilly Thompson finds human remains entombed in the wall of the historic mansion her grandfather just bought.

Also, how amazing is this handmade bookmark?

I was really really hoping that I would love this book! It’s my first book by @jaimejowright. And now I know where to go for my next spooky clean read! ⁣I love the fact there is no language, spice, vulgarity for this genre.
⁣
I was just a little leery that it would be cheesy suspenseful Christian fiction. Bc we all know how those are in this genre- but this one was well developed. It wasn’t even preachy! I loved the depth and how the different themes of death, fear, grief, and hope that worked in each character.⁣

It had all the scary/ eerie vibes that a reader wants. The mystery was good and kept me guessing along with some jump scares. Is it really ghosts? What happened to the body? Did not see that plot twist coming… 😳⁣ Thanks to @authormandiefuentes for doing a buddy read!

Thank you @bethanyhousefiction for this gifted copy!

🪾The House on Foster Hill 🪾
By Jaime Jo Wright

This was a perfect Fall read for me. I read it quickly and it actually kept me up past my bedtime to finish it! If you know me, you know how important my sleep is and staying up late to read is a big deal for me. Even when I am invested in a book, I will often fall asleep if it’s late. 🤣

I love the dual timeline element, the mystery and suspense, and the atmospheric writing. A spooky old house with secrets? Count me in.

This book has some grit and encounters some heavy themes like abuse, trafficking, stalking and the murder of a loved one, so discretion is advised. However, there is no language or spice at all, a strong faith theme throughout, and good triumphs over evil. My personal recommendation is that this would be good for age 16+.

5/5 ⭐️ in my opinion!

Any recommendations on my next mystery read?

If October were a bookshelf, I think it would look a little something like this. 🍂📚👻

A little eerie. A little romantic. A little magical. And full of cozy places to get lost in a story.

This month's shelf has something for the reader craving a hint of mystery, the one falling for autumn romances, and the one dreaming of a cozy little town with a bookstore around the corner.

Some of these I've loved, one I'm currently reading, and a couple are still waiting patiently on my TBR. Because let's be honest… the TBR never really ends. 😅

Now tell me: Which book are you reaching for first?📖☕️

Save this little shelf for your fall reading list, and share your own autumn recommendation in the comments. I always love discovering what other readers are reading! 🤎

It's time for a new Jaime Jo Wright novel! I am almost finished with it, yet I have so many questions! She is so good at keeping us guessing! Bonus for me - it's set in Indiana!

You still have time to preorder The Resurrection of Evania James by @jaimejowright from Baker before it releases on Tuesday!
