Water Shall Refuse Them | Lucie McKnight Hardy

Wow this book was dark. It starts off with that sense of heat and sweat & dust of a really hot summer, then it gradually starts to get a creepy feeling running underneath it all, especially once Mally & his mother join the story. Until it finally boils over into that ending. If you like your stories with a dark drama to them, I highly recommend this book. #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter #ScaryScavengerHunt #WithAWitchInIt 12points #PointsTotal-909

I already knew that I loved Slatter‘s dark fairy tales, but reading one of her linked collections was even better! 🌙

This book doesn‘t fit my team‘s theme, but there are witches!

RiverKScottWrites Is it contemp or more fairy tales or...? 4y
Linsy All her own stories, clearly, not fairy tale retellings, but back in time and in her own made-up land. I would call the feel very fairy tale mostly, but real and dark and just so good! Does that make any sense? 😆 4y

I checked this one out from Libby to read with my nephew and lo and behold it was narrated complete with auto page turns! I didn't even realize the app could do that lol.

Also fulfills #ScaryScavengerHunt prompt #WithAWitchInIt

BeansPage Sweetheart we're actually scoring this as either or. You either get the two points for team theme or you get the five points for Halloween. Obviously here we will choose the larger of the two. so it will be five points for the Halloween book and one point participation post. Six points total. 4y

Duh) #blackcover (Widows) #AVampireInIt (again,easy to spot)as well as thrillers(The Scholar,The Visitors)& a true crime about the study of serial killers(Mindhunter)Is there anything here you look forward to reading? Maybe give you ideas for your own #TeamSlaughter reads?

Clwojick I recommend An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena and All The Missing Girls by Megan Miranda! 5y
Clwojick For those #GraphicNovel lovers, I suggest My Favorite Thing Is Monsters ( which I may have to reread), Chew, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and PaperGirls. 5y
Lizpixie I‘ve already suggested non fiction about serial killers or murders. Anything by Tess Gerritsen, Kathy Reichs, Peter Robinson, Ann Cleeves, Jo Nesbo, Claire Macintosh, Michael Connolly or Robert Crais. For ScandiThrillers you have Henning Mankell, Karin Fossum, Ann Holt, Arnaldur Indridason & Camilla Lackberg. There‘s also Stuart McBride, Thomas Harris, Chris Carter, Ruth Rendell, Gillian Flynn & Rachel Caine. Early Patricia Cornwall too. 5y
Lizpixie For the #scavengerhunt prompt #boneinthetitle most of Kathy Reichs books have bone in the title, or the new release 5y
Clwojick @Lizpixie I absolutely love the show Bones, and i quite enjoyed the one audiobook that i read by Kathy Reichs. I'll have to check out a few more by her :) 5y
Lizpixie For #withawitchinit there‘s Practical Magic, Garden Spells by Sarah Addisen Allen, The Sparrow Sisters by Ellen Herrick, Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt, A Discovery Of Witches by Deborah Harkness & Kim Harrison‘s The Hollows series. 5y
Lizpixie For #aboutavampire There‘s Ann Rice of course, Anno Dracula by Kim Newman, Salem‘s Lot by Stephen King, the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R.Ward, Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist, The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro & Chuck Hogan, Sunshine by Robin McKinley(one of my faves), the Dark series by Christine Feehan, Midnights Daughter by Karen Chance & of course the True Blood series by Charlaine Harris.Also the early Anita Blake books 5y
Lizpixie For #withzombiesinit there‘s The Girl With All The Gifts, The Bone Houses, Feed by Mira Grant, The Forest Of Hands And Teeth by Carrie Ryan, My Life As A White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland & The Reapers Are The Angels by Alden Bell. 5y
Clwojick Ooooohhhhh! @Lizpixie comin‘ in with all the good RECs! (why isn‘t there a Bowing emoji?) (edited) 5y
Clwojick @Lizpixie and I‘m with you 💯 on Practical Magic! That‘s one I seriously need to reread! I‘ve had it on my self since late last year. 5y
Lizpixie For #abouthalloween there‘s Halloween Party by Agatha Christie, The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury or the short story collection Dead Leaves:8 Tales From The Witching Season by Kealan Patrick Burke. 5y
Bookwormjillk @Lizpixie I was going to suggest Agatha Christie too. I have Murder on the Orient Express on my TBR, and I‘m guessing #somebodydies in that one. 5y
Lizpixie For #pumpkinonthecover there‘s Pumpkin Heads by Rainbow Rowell, the above Dead Leaves by Kealan Patrick Burke, Crypt Suzette by Maya Corrigan & Death By Pumpkin Spice by Alex Erickson. 5y
Clwojick @Bookwormjillk I‘ve had Murder on the Orient Express on my shelf for WAY too long. Hopefully I‘ll finally get to it in October. 5y
Lizpixie For #thatscaresyou some books that had me shaking(which isn‘t easy to do)are Bird Box by Josh Malerman, The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty( I recommend the audiobook read by the author), The Hatching by Ezekiel Boone, Salem‘s Lot, Christine, The Tommyknockers, It, The Shining & Pet Sematery by Stephen King, The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson & The Hot Zone by Richard Preston. 5y
kezzlou85 @Lizpixie I think you've named just about ever suggestion I thought of. Well done. You've had so many brilliant ideas. 5y
Sarahreadstoomuch For the book with a #vampire I‘m planning on Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell - it shouldn‘t be scary at all, but I‘ve been waiting on it! Her graphic novel Pumpkinheads is terrific too and fills a couple categories. 5y
madamereadsalot1 I'm planning to read In the Valley of the Sun for a black cover/ with a vampire/ over 200 pages/ where a character dies categories. 5y
alisiakae One of my neighbor‘s was Megan Miranda, our kids used to be at school together, and she is so sweet! All the Missing Girls is fantastic, but her first books, Fracture and Vengeance, would also be a great fit for this challenge! 5y
Kappadeemom So can one book be counted for several of the scavenger hunt items? 5y
InkedBookworm13 I enjoy books from Gillian Flynn and Kerri Maniscalco. I read a bunch of one off books... one of us is lying, then she was gone, girl on the train, the seven deaths of Evelyn hardcastle, and birdbox. 5y
RainyDayReading Throwing in some more graphic novel recs for those that want them. For #Zombie there‘s Scooby Apocalypse, #vampire there‘s Day Men, for #Witch I highly recommend Spell on Wheels and for #someonedies there‘s Kill or Be Killed, Lady Killer or The Fade Out. Each of these (except for Spell on Wheels) are part of a series as well. I‘ll do some digging and drop back by with some book suggestions after I peruse my bookcase a bit 😊 5y
Liatrek @Clwojick I wanted to check can one book be used to get multiple points in the different challenges? Example my copy of Murder on the links is black cover 1 point scary scavenger hunt, team theme mystery 2 points = 3 points or a book can only be used to get points in one category? 4y
Clwojick @Liatrek yes, the points can be stacked. 4y
Liatrek @Clwojick Thank you! Working on my Scare a thon spreadsheet 😊 I‘m so excited! 4y
intothehallofbooks @Clwojick yay!! Thanks, I‘m excited!! 4y
