Halloween Creatures Book Tag

This tag was created by Anthony at https://keepreadingforward.wordpress.com/  and this year he has added a new extension to his versions so of course I just had to do this one. I'm going with the original version of the tag plus the five extension subjects.

1) Witch-A book or character that is magical

I've only read the first book in the series but I loved the main character who is a mage. I enjoyed the plot and want to see more of the interesting side characters that appear in the book.

2) Mummies-A book or character you can't wrap your head around

There have been plenty books over the years that had me thinking WTF??? But this book has the worst MC I have ever read and it sounds, from other reviews that I never found out the worst about him. Ugh! He is the biggest arsehole EVER!!!

3) Vampires-A book, series or author you can't live without

If I was on a desert island, I would have to have my Harry Potter books with me. I never get tired of reading them! Makes me want to read it right now!

4) Werewolves-A book best read in the middle of the night

I don't have a thing about reading certain books at certain times of the day or whatever. I just read whatever book I'm on when I want to read it. Sometimes it'll be first thing in the morning, sometimes at night. I try not to read apocalypse books near bedtime as I get too hyper from the danger in them! This was a favourite as a bedtime story as a kid!

5) Zombies-A book you picked up for the second time

I don't generally give books a second chance when I DNF them but I stopped reading The Maze Runner just before the action starts. Now that I've seen and enjoyed the film, I MIGHT give the book a second try.

6) Ghosts-A character you saw right through/book you predicted a twist or ending 

Jeez I'm always trying to guess the twists in books and there are some I guess and some I don't. This series has a ton of twists and I saw a few coming but not others!

7) Frankenstein-A book that truly shocked you 

This book is about a woman who is kidnapped and is to be star of a rape and murder snuff film but the really shocking thing is what she is prepared to do to save herself. I never saw it coming and it horrified me!

8) Skeletons-a book or character that chilled you to the bone or got your funny bone

One of the best written characters in fiction has to be Tyrion Lannister! He is rude, sarcastic, devious, funny, witty, charming, ruthless and intelligent. I just loved him in the book and he was brought to life brilliantly in Game of Thrones!

9) Ghouls-A book that left you hungry

Does anyone read Harry Potter, see those amazing feasts and not get hungry! Reading about anyone eating pizza or chocolate is hard! 

10) Goblins-A greedy character or one who loves gold/silver

This feels the perfect one for Smeagle/Gollum! My Preccciiioouuusss!

11) Devil-A dark evil character 

There are so many bad guys in the books I read! None more so than Randall Flagg!

12) Grim Reaper-A character you loved or hated that died 

In this series there are way too many to choose from on both sides! This particular book had some of my favourite deaths!

13) Scarecrows-A book or character that scares you

No book has scared me in the sense of hiding under the duvet, but when I started reading prepper fiction and first discovered what would happen when the power grid goes down, well it freaked me out and had me wanting to buy a ton of supplies and an underground bunker to hide in!

14) Troll-An underrated book that many may not know about

I read a ton of Indie books and love sharing them on my blog!I recommend Wicked Hunger, a YA paranormal book. A family of teenagers suffer from a strange disease that gives them the uncontrollable urge to kill their peers and they want a cure. A cult of zealots want to wipe them out, a shadowy agency wants to use them as assassins-but all they want to do is be normal. It has family bonds, great non whiny teenage characters, heartbreaking forbidden romance that fits the plot...I just loved this series! 

15) Fairy-A character who is mischievious

Coyote from the Iron Druid series can really bring trouble to Atticus and Oberon!

16) Will O The Wisp-A book with an unexpected twist

Man there are LOTS I never saw coming! I'm just going to pick the first one I thought of-the heartbreaking ending of this book.

17) Wraith-A book or character that left you with rage

I always get mad when a favourite character is killed for no reason. There was a book where pretty much everyone died in the space of a few pages and it left me raging! It felt like a cop out and a massacre for the sake of it. Grrr, spoiled the whole book!

18) Creepy Clowns-A book that gave you temporary or permanent fear 

I was always nervous of clowns and refused to go near a circus when I was a kid. Something about the white face and blood-red fixed grin gave me the woogies! Having a killer clown who targets children and appears as whatever scares them was great in a book and It has been my favourite stand-alone book ever since. It didn't make me fear clowns but it justified my fear of them!
