Each one has a little bit of a spooky element to them. Also, I want to throw out there that these covers are all really intriguing - and I think part of the reason I picked them up as a kid. Because I really want to see how these books hold up. 💭 How often do you get in reading slumps? 💭 Do you read middle grade books as an adult?

When her body turns up in the woods, who will be next? What does Lauren know that she’s hiding from the police?Ī whodunnit that was a breath of fresh air from the craziness that I usually read! I did figure the ending out, but I still really liked it nonetheless.

Was she sneaking out to see the boy that frequently drops her off late at night? But if so,how did she escape through the doors that are still dead bolted?

Lauren and Sara, who live together but not by choice, gather together with some friends one Friday night. “.You want to run, but your feet don’t move, and you want to scream but your mouth won’t make a sound.” I’ve heard from many Booktuber & Bookstagrammer friends that reading a middle grade book can really get you out of your slumber, but I haven’t tested this theory until a few days ago. I have a lot going on right now so I’ve been in and out of reading slumps for the past few weeks.
