Best books of October

Best Book (trails) of October – October is a good reding month. It’s THE month to read all things spooky and chilling. However, there’s always scope for reading something set on a beach or somewhere warm so you can really escape from the onset of the autumn/winter changeover.

TheBookTrail’s review here of The Whistling

Ghostly house in Scotland – gothic vibes

The Whistling

Can you hear the whistling?……

Aargh! This is a BRILLIANTLY fantastically spooky read. This has to be the book you read for Halloween. Handy as it’s out just in time on October 14th. A nanny heads to a remote house to look after a child, but the house is spooky, something feels very wrong and the child is acting very strange. Just when you think things couldn’t get any more chilling, what’s that whistling?

Midnight in the Austrian Alps snow - Karen Swan

Austrian Alps

Midnight in the Snow

Bit festive this one. Sorry for the F word this early in the year, but the book is more about the snowy landscape, the ski-iing and the romance. Buy it now and save for the big day if you wish, but it’s too good to keep until then.

Clover meets Kit, an arrogant man and they really don’t get on. Kit was a very famous and controversial athlete until he had to stop after a devastating accident – for his bitter rival. Clover becomes curious to find out more.
