Dead Over Heels
Release Date: 09/29/14
Entangled Teen
The end of the world just
might be their perfect beginning…
Glenview, North Carolina. Also known―at least to sixteen-year-old Ava Pegg―as the Land of Incredibly Boring Vacations. What exactly were her parents thinking when they bought a summer home here? Then the cute-but-really-annoying boy next door shows up at her place in a panic…hollering something about flesh-eating zombies attacking the town.
At first, Ava’s certain that Cole spent a little too much time with his head in the moonshine barrel. But when someone―or something―rotted and terrifying emerges from behind the woodpile, Ava realizes this is no hooch hallucination. The undead are walking in Glenview, and they are hungry. Panicked, Ava and Cole flee into the national forest. No supplies, no weapons. Just two teenagers who don’t even like each other fighting for their lives. But that’s the funny thing about the Zombpocalypse. You never know when you’ll meet your undead end. Or when you’ll fall dead over heels for a boy…

Seven Spooky Reads for your October Enjoyment
Alison Kemper
Every October, I find myself gravitating toward
scary books. I’m not talking over-the-top-horror here. Nothing too gory. No
high body count. Maybe a YA romance with an extra serving of paranormal. Or a
contemporary with a strong creep-out factor.
Here, in no particular order, are seven of my
favorites.
BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA April
Genevieve Tucholke
Honest to God, I think this novel has the
creepiest settings of any book I’ve ever read. Old house by the sea, deserted
train tunnels, a graveyard filled with children who are armed with stakes and
trying to hunt the devil. Yikes.
THE BODY IN THE WOODS April Henry
Not a paranormal. Or a romance (yet). What
you’ve got is a straight-up interesting, contemporary plot about teens working
for a search and rescue crew who discover the body of a dead girl during one of
their missions. I’m excited to read more in this series.
JOYLAND Stephen King
Wait, wait! This is NOT your typical Stephen King.
No monsters here. JOYLAND is a sweetly nostalgic book about a teen guy working
in a cheesy theme park where a ghost supposedly roams the haunted house.
RAVEN BOYS Maggie Stiefvater
No spoilers here. But I will tell you that something
happens, mid-way through this novel that totally blew my mind. I had to go back
to the first page and start all over again. Blue—the non-psychic girl who lives
in a house filled with psychics—is a compelling and relatable character. And
the boys…her Raven boys… *swooooon*
STORM Brigid Kemmerer
I can’t say enough good things about the
Elemental series. Four brothers with the power to control the elements, but
their everyday struggles are often heartbreaking in their realism. It’s
captivating contemporary, but with a heavy dose of paranormal. And very hot
twins.
UNBREAKABLE Kami Garcia
Fans of SyFy’s Ghost Hunters will recognize some
of the scenarios where Kennedy and her spirit-hunting buddies use EMF readers
and other gadgets to track down dangerous demons. Plus, more hot twins.
MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN by
Ransom Riggs
I have to admit that I haven’t read the second
novel in this series (maybe this October?). The first book started slow, but
ramped up when Jacob discovered the crumbling old orphanage. And the way Ransom
Riggs weaves the plot with vintage photographs. Delightfully eerie!
I’m always on the lookout for fun reads. What’s
your favorite spooky novel? Or what do
you plan to read this October? Leave me a comment!
About the Author
Alison Kemper
grew up in South Florida, the only girl on a street with eleven boys. She spent
most of her childhood paddling a canoe through neighborhood canals and looking
for adventure. She usually found it. Sometimes the police were involved. And
large dogs. And one time, a very territorial snake. Now that she’s grown up,
she lives in North Carolina and writes books. The books often include girls
having adventures. With boys. Cute boys. And cute dogs too. But no cute snakes.
Never cute snakes.

novel, Donna of the Dead, will be published by Entangled Teen
in 2014 and followed by two companion books in the series. She
loves to meet new people and talk books, so send her a friend request or
