"And then the thing stepped out. It appeared to have been a man once. Now it was something else entirely, something not human: pasty skin as cracked as dry earth ad blighted red patches and sores, hair thinned to spindly tuffs. Opaque blue soulless eyes stared from its chalky, skeletal face. The glare of the flashlight caught the razor-sharp edges of small, yellowed teeth inside a rotted mouth that hung partially open." 301

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 

This week's topic is: Top 10 Best Books I Read in 2024

*in no particular order

10. HUNTERLAND by Dana Claire--a fun paranormal read that feels like Supernatural if Dean were a teenager forced to go to a regular high school!
9. KISS OF THE SELKIE by Tessonja Odette--an enchanting retelling of The Little Mermaid, albeit with a completely different kind of ending!
8. KNOWN TO THE VICTIM by K.L. Armstrong--a thriller that will keep you guessing by one of my favorite authors!

7. THE SHADOWS RULE ALL by Abigail Owen--the finale I'd been waiting ages for! Too many release date changes but it was all worth it in the end!
6. THE ASHES & THE STAR-CURSED KING by Carissa Broadbent--definitely my favorite of the first duology, I guess because we resolution to the cliffhanger ending of that first book! Lol.
5. THE RETURN by Rachel Harrison--a creeptacular eerie mystery that will leave you guessing until the very end and oh what a twist it was!

4. A DAWN OF ONYX by Kate Golden--another amazing fantasy series that I just started and hopefully will finish sometime next year! I still need to read book 2!
3. AGAINST THE DARKNESS by Kendare Blake--another grand finale to the Buffiverse! I've had to say goodbye so many times to this world it seems. Lol. But I loved how Kendare wrote it!
2. SWEET NIGHTMARE by Tracy Wolff--another amazing paranormal read by Tracy! Positively loved this one and cannot wait for book 2!

1. SPECTACULAR by Stephanie Garber--surprising to no one I am sure! Lol! Naturally I loved this novella to pieces! It was so much fun to read!
