I am a little late with my wrap-up this month, but I read so many great books that I needed to share.  I love Halloween, so I did a lot of Halloween reading including thriller, horror and fairy tale re-tellings! I also managed to read 20 books this month, that's a lot. Here's the run down:

Goddess Born by Kari Edgren: Paranormal historical fiction, review. 

The Furies by Mark Alpert: Witches with a genetic abnormality, more of an action thriller, review.
