Ack, I love a good haunting! Great list and covers. Might have to check out that Chris Wooding book.
The Minister’s Daughter by Julie Hearn sounds like a modern The Crucible! Perfect for my Halloween reading.
They all sound great and i do adore the covers. Never heard of them before, but i do want to read red spikes. Very interesting.
I'm adding all of these to my wish list! I am especially intrigued by The Bone Collectors Son. Thanks for the heads up!
