Jenn's Picks -- Spooky Halloweeny themed
Neverwhere by Neil Gaimen -- Set in a creepy but intriguing world beneath the city of London, this is a story about a guy who's life changes speedily and irrevocably when he stops to help a wounded girl on the street. The author has a very clean style and a fantastic imagination.
Blood and chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause. The story of Vivian Gandillion, who is a 16 year old werewolf, who falls in love with a human, or a "meat boy." A good story about someone stuck between two very different worlds, and a great interpretation of life in a pack of werewolves. We have the movie as well, it's got the same title, and some of the same characters, and enjoyed watching it. If you're annoyed by movies that diverge from the original book, read it or watch it, but don't do both.
