7 Paranormal Fantasy Romances To Read This Spooktober
spook-to-ber
According to the Urban Dictionary, Spooktober refers to “the month of October, and the best time of the year. When all memes [things] become Halloween-themed. The word [being] a conglomeration of the words "spooky" and "October", and it's called that because of how spooky this month is.”
Now while I am all for being occasionally and lightly spooked, I won’t go as far as to say that I love being scared. LOL. There IS a difference. I enjoy spooky vibes and being shocked with a good eerie and mysterious story, but please leave out the paranormal horror that will keep me up at night 😅 All that to say, these books are NOT horror-movie-scary. They definitely have a supernatural feel and Halloween-esk vibes, but you won’t be shaking in your boots reading them or even after reading them. They will just set the mood for your spooky season and have you feeling all the witchy all Hallows Eve vibes. They also have feel-good, steamy, and tantalizing dark romances for your black heart.
(kidding) (kinda) 😅
