Astrid Scholte recommends
Belladonna (2022)
(Belladonna, book 1)
Adalyn Grace
"A darkly gothic tale that is equal parts sensuous and sinister, Belladonna breathes new life into YA paranormal romance. Readers are sure to want more of Signa's tantalising dance with Death."
The Girls Are Never Gone (2021)
Sarah Glenn Marsh
"The Girls Are Never Gone is a spine-tingling atmospheric tale that will haunt you long after the book’s final twist. Sarah Glenn Marsh can turn any ghost skeptic into a true believer; you’ll be sleeping with the lights on and avoiding all mysterious bodies of water. I dare you to wade into the murky depths and discover what spooky delights are in store."
