HALLOWEEN!!


I am doing interesting thing about social media's one of the most important day; Halloween. As we already know that today is 31st October and that means get your costumes and get prepared for Halloween! I live in Turkey so in our country we don't celebrate but I will always want to celebrate Halloween because I am really interested in about these kind of entertaining special days.

I am telling you some book recommendations, film recommendations, TV series recommendations and special costume advices for Halloween!

It might include thrilling recommendations and it may makes you shiver! But it's Halloween, anyway :)






TV SERIES:

I am currently watching Morganville and The Flash. I read Morganville Vampires Series that's why I am watching tv series in Youtube. I din't like it but I like the idea of everyday new episode plan for Halloween because each episode is most 10 minutes and they end the episode in cliffhanger of course.

Anyway, I watch all of these TV series except one of them: American Horror Story. I put this on the list because as we can see by its cover, it looks definitely scary! I am planning to watch American Horror Story for Halloween!

If you prefer vampires, I advice Morganville, or if you want to see more blood definitely your choice must be Walking Dead. Do you think werewolfs are the scariest? Okay, I am gonna say Teen Wolf of course :))



FILMS:



Dracula is a new film and I am really excited to watch this because I always have a really interesting connection with vampire books and films. Especially books. Like Morganville Vampires and Vampire Academy.

I watch trailer and that make me more interested. I am planning to watch this soon. By the way, I love the poster; those bats like his wings. Really original and captivating.









Did you recognize the title? Yes, this film is a book adaptation which is by  's best-selling book Gone Girl. I haven't read it or watched it yet but I hope I will read the book first because I heard lots of good things about the book!










BOOKS:

And these are my advices for who wants to spend their time to read scary books for Halloween. Actually I only read Anna Dressed in Blood but I really want to get the other books sooner :)

You can find the book description for each book which I recommend, I hope you will have a great Halloween and apologize for inattentive post. I had great plans for this post however I just don't have a time so I write fast as soon as I can.

Anyway, please comment below about your plans for today, what you're reading, watching :)





1- GONE GIRL - 
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter--but is he really a killer? As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?

2- BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA -


You stop fearing the devil when you’re holding his hand…
Nothing much exciting rolls through Violet White’s sleepy, seaside town… until River West comes along. River rents the guest house behind Violet’s crumbling estate, and as eerie, grim things start to happen, Violet begins to wonder about the boy living in her backyard. 
Is River just a crooked-smiling liar with pretty eyes and a mysterious past? Or could he be something more?
Violet’s grandmother always warned her about the Devil, but she never said he could be a dark-haired boy who takes naps in the sun, who likes coffee, who kisses you in a cemetery... who makes you want to kiss back. 
Violet’s already so knee-deep in love, she can’t see straight. And that’s just how River likes it.
Blending faded decadence and the thrilling dread of gothic horror, April Genevieve Tucholke weaves a dreamy, twisting contemporary romance, as gorgeously told as it is terrifying—a debut to watch.

 3- ANNA DRESSED IN BLOOD- 

Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.
So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. They follow legends and local lore, destroy the murderous dead, and keep pesky things like the future and friends at bay.
Searching for a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas expects the usual: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.
Yet she spares Cas's life.

4-  MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN- 



A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs.
It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.
A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

Book Review: OPPOSITION by Jennifer L. Armentrout



Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came.
She can't believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all.
Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal.
They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind.
War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing.

 It has been a long time to post new review for my blog. I have a lot of causes but that's not my real reason. The reason is I wasn't in the mood of reviewing or posting, or changing anything in my blog. But today I perk up for Opposition book reviw. I have a feeling that I must review this book because this series and the author is amazing :)

 Anyway, my first sentence for Opposition is, how a beautiful conclusion! I really loved every pages in it because it is Daemon and Katy, they are perfect and so sweet.  I want to re-read this series again and again. However, Jennifer's other series Covenant series is the best for me that's why I gave 4-stars for this book. (Actually 4.5 stars but Goodreads doesn't exist half stars.)

By the way, this review may contains from the previous books from Lux series so if you haven't read this series I am warning you! :)



As we see in the previous book Origin, Daemon saved Katy, they discovered new secrets together and they promised to fight together. But in the end of the book, Luxen's came and Daemon had to made a decision. Who will he choose? Katy or his family? In the beginning of the book we have concerns for the answer because Daemon is gone with Luxen's and Katy decided to make a plan for getting him back.

This book includes such an amazing action scene and also we can see intense love between Daemon and Katy. My second favorite OTP is Archer and Dee of course. They are so sweet but I annoyed in the beginning of the book to Dee.

“It’s not like I’m going to run up and hug him.” His expression turned bland. “I’d sure hope not. I might get jealous.” “You’d get jealous if she hugged a tree,” Archer tossed out. “Maybe.” Daemon coasted to a stop in a parking space behind the car. “I’m needy like that.” 


 This series is amazing, they have a lot of action, romance scenes and I really loved this book. This wouldn't be a wrong review because this book is a final book so I don't want to give you major spoilers and ruin this amazing series.
You can read Jennifer Armentrout's books without a second thought. She is very talented author, she knows how to start with series and she shows her talent for how to end to series again :)
My only wish is learn your opinion for this book, please comment below :)
