Hey Wattpaders! Y’all showed up with the Spooky theme for this month’s READ/REVIEW/SHARE contest. And though it was so hard to choose, THE WINNERS ARE HERE!!!!
          
          DRUMROLL PLEASE……..
          My pick: Bright Eyes by @_Lazarein The writing was fantastic and the descriptions were amazing. I totally felt transported to the scene!
          
          @RebeccaSky - Rebecca’s pick: The Maggies by @NyhteridesThis writing is Hauntingly beautiful, achingly sad, broken and dark. I reread so many lines because of how stunning they were. 10/10 for spooky vibes.
          
          @Ms_Horrendous - Jakayla’s pick 
          Out of the entries, I pick @shyy_girl story Lullaby because the plot drew me in, but also even though it’s new, it was the mysterious twist that made me curious for more. It’s also heading in a different direction from what I’m used to. Love the creativity put into it and looking forward to more!
          
          @FallonDeMornay - Fallon‘s pick: Of all the entries I received, this was the only one I felt delivered in spooky vibes. I'm voting for @Nyhterides Rosalind. It's a gloriously dark Beauty and the Beast retelling set in Transylvania with a wonderfully lush and ethereal writing that comes to life on the page.
          
          And our Honorable mention pick goes to @TAJoseph and their story Autumn's Fabled Prince which had the best opening line we read this contest! 
          
          Thanks everyone for entering. Be sure to check out each other's entries and cheer each other on, because we all know how hard writing can be, and a comment and vote goes a long way!

Hi ! 
          I just finished Seventh born and mirror bound and I was wondering if there will be a third book.
          I really like your books, you are really talented. I devoured Finvarra's circus and now I'm reading Marcus and Abigail' s story !

DistantDreamer

@Mooregray Hello! Thank you so much for reading Seventh Born, Mirror Bound, and Finvarra's Circus! It means a lot that you've read and enjoyed them ❤️ At the moment, the Witchling books are a duology, but I'd love to write a third. Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy The Awkward Love Song of Abigail Archer!

@DistantDreamer Title: The Redemption of Stingy Jack
            
            Description: After a wild Halloween party, sober Maud and her drunk roommate, Lyn make their way home, and to their surprise, a man with a pumpkin face is found unconscious at their doorstep. Maud is a kind of person that loves all things spooky and creepy, and so she brings the man in for questioning, regarding how he made his costume look so real.
            
            
            She later discovers that the man is the infamous and folklore character, Stingy Jack. She wonders why he is real and why he chooses to stay with her. Lyn thinks having such a strange and monster looking, but harmless person around is risky, but Maud seems to defend this bizarre looking creature. She asks a lot of questions, and so does he in between swigs of alcohol, but the most prominent one is how did he come back to life, and why does he keep hearing voices in his head?
            
            
            Stingy Jack goes out to find answers, and in doing so, he is forced to make a history altering decision. Do something different for a change, or allow history repeat itself, and live up to his name.

@DistantDreamer Thank you for this opportunity to share this story to you.♥️
            
            Title: Bright Eyes
            
            Blurb:
            
            Like every other high school, the students of Ravenwood Academy know nothing more beyond the world of their own teenage lives — a world of classes to pass, social reputations to live up to, and dirty little secrets to keep.
            
            But when strange dangerous men drag a handful of Ravenwood kids into a world they never knew to exist, paths cross and these five find themselves together in an otherworldly chaos they can never escape. Driven by a purpose unknown yet sinister, someone is determined to hunt them down.
            
            And the only one they can trust is a man they call Mr. Brighteyes, who knows them more than they even know themselves.

* DRUM ROLL PLEASE*** 
          THE WINNERS OF THE SUMMER VIBES READ/REVIEW/SHARE CONTEST ARE HERE!
          
          My pick: Babysitting the Player by @StephSpeed 
          The writing was so crisp and as soon as I started reading, I was fully immersed in the scene. Great job!
          
          @RebeccaSky 's pick: 27 Bowls of Ice Cream by @dustychalks 
          This was so beautifully written and so sad and full of longing, which is actually hard to do with Summer vibes and ice cream themes, but it was a reminder to treasure the good and that even in Summer, sadness can grip you. Wow, I’m just blown away by this entry! SOOO good!
          
          @KnightsRachel ‘s pick: It Began in Summer by @RedCeltic 
          I love the summer day out at the lake between friends, followed by the unexpected paddle board crush session. Super cute and filled with all of the summer vibes, it made me want to plan a day trip with my friends!
          
          @TiffanyDaune 's pick: Aphrodite’s Beauty by @nekala20
          This chapter gave me all the summer love feels! The dynamic between the friends was perfection. I love how they all came together to plan her birthday and how grateful she was for their thoughtfulness. They seemed to all genuinely care for one another and accepted each other inside and out which shows how well the author crafted their characters. Amazing job!
           
          As always we were so impressed with your writing and creativity, Wattpaders really are a special breed! 
          
          We had some honorable mentions too: @jennieb11 @letsget_lost @VintageGeek012 and @KateYorkAuthor
