Each day, you’ll receive a new book location for the daily password.

At the end of the 13 days, I’ll post a Google Form for you to fill out with all 13 words from our daily scavenger hunts. Anyone who correctly identified all 13 words will get a special, exclusive digital download graphic and a fun message from me. I’ll also post all winner names on my blog (with your consent) as a special congratulations to the winners.

Day 1 Clue: In Beautiful Demons, go to Chapter 31 – A Demon On His Back. What is the 6th and final word in the 29th paragraph?

(These don’t spell out anything in particular, they are just 13 random words! For purposes of this scavenger hunt, one line conversations or phrases count as a paragraph.)

AUDIOBOOK READINGS ON YOUTUBE

Did you know I have a YouTube channel where we’ve been reading the first 6 full books of the Shadow Demons Saga?

We have an amazing community of people who have been chatting and following along with the YouTube livestreams and readings for nearly two years now. If you want to join us and listen to me reading the Shadow Demons Saga for free, come subscribe now!

Here are the playlists for each book below. There is some chatting that goes on before and after each reading, but if you want to just hear the reading, go to the timestamp in the pinned comment below the video and click on the time. That will take you past the chat and into the reading each episode!

Beautiful Demons Audiobook Reading

Inner Demons Audiobook Reading

Bitter Demons Audiobook Reading

Shadow Demons Audiobook Reading

Rival Demons Audiobook Reading

Demons Forever Audiobook Reading

The final episode of Demons Forever airs LIVE tomorrow at 4PM Eastern. Join us for a fun finale if you can!

We also do a weekly Friday Coffee Chat live on YouTube every Friday at 4PM Eastern. This is usually just a time for us to hang out, do a fun Q&A, and sometimes cover special topics like tarot cards, crystals, or what my writing process is like.

We’d love for you to join us on Fridays, so come subscribe! It would be so amazing to hit 7,000 subscribers by the end of the Spooktacular!

SEE YOU TOMORROW FOR DAY 2

    3. I literally found you because your books were free. Utter fan for life ❤️ Kim Browning aka Kim Smith and Writer Groupie.

  2. 11 years thats so exciting. Congrats on everything you have accomplished since the beginning.

    1. I cannot even begin to tell you how much your books have helped me. I was struggling through a difficult time in my life and your books were the perfect escape. Thank you ❤ xxxx

  3. Wow, it has been that long? Well, I remember when you got pregnant with Andrew. I loved the first cover on Beautiful Demons, that is why I wanted to read the book and then got hooked on the series.. 🙂

    1. So very grateful for fans like you who have been active and supportive for so many years. Love and blessings to you!!

  6. I found this series years ago because the 1st book was $0.99 and I thought i would give it a try and I was hooked

  8. I found you through Heart Breathings for your planner videos, really enjoyed you and your content, so moved on to your Sarra Cannon channel, heard you talking about the books, downloaded the first three, and that was me. Hooked. Completely. And since, I’ve managed to get my one daughter hooked as well, and working on my oldest (who turns 17 today) and will get my youngest hooked as well once she’s a bit older. My hubby also wants to write a novel, so I’ve been sharing your heart breathings content with him as well.

    I’m looking forward to Spooktacular, and all you have planned…

  13. Congrats on 11 years Sarra! I can’t believe it’s been that long. Thanks for taking us along on your storytelling journey and being so involved and sun a fun author Proud to call you one of my long running favorites!

  14. Congratulations on 11 years! I haven’t been around that long, I think it’s only been 7 for me. Your videos have become a very important part of my week. Thank you for sharing your world with us!

  16. Congratulations, Sarra! It’s amazing and inspirational you’ve done so much in so little time.

  17. Congratulations on 11 years and MANY successful books 🙂 I found you through your Heartbreathings YT videos and decided that I needed to see what your writing was like, only to be sucked in to the Shadows Demons Sage from page one. Then, while devouring every book you had published, I discovered that you had written the Fairhope Series that I had read and loved prior to watching your yt videos!!! Thank you so much for all you do for your fans. Happy Spooktacular !

  18. Omg 11yrs, feels like it was just yesterday when I first found peachville high on amazon and got sucked in to a fantastic new world. Can’t wait to see how it all ends

  19. Congrats on 11 years! This is all so exciting! Thanks for celebrating rating with us and making it interactive! Can’t wait to see what comes next!

  21. Congratulations on 11 years! I got into your series late, but I was hooked from the very first book! Looking forward to see how you write the finale!

  23. Can’t believe my favorite book series is coming to an end but I also can’t wait to have it in my hands. My mind enters another world every time.

  24. I followed you for the notebook and planning, and fell in love with your books! Congrats on 11 year!

  25. I found the first 3 Beautiful Demons books as a free set on Book Bub. I’ve devoured every book since! Now my husband has started the series and I’m reliving it all with him! So fun and so bitter sweet to have it come to a close! We will all miss Harper, Jackson & the gang and hope for more spin off series! Thank you for always being real with us. We love you!

  26. I found out about the Shadow Demons Saga book last year, 2020. I started watching Sarra’s Heart Breathings channel first because I’m a writer. Then she did her Spooktacular, and I got her first 4 books free. Well, after reading the first one I was hooked, and by time I got to book 4, I was a fan. I then bought the rest of the Shadow Demons Saga books and I’m so glad I found them.

  27. Soo Excited for this year’s Halloween celebrations!!!
    Congratulations on 11 years Sarra!! Can’t believe its been about 5 years since I first accidentally stumbled on your wonderful books!! Still hooked!! ❤️

  28. 11 years… this is such a great milestone!!! I remember coming to your Heart Breathings channel on youtube looking for planner advice, and instead, I’ve found a magical world made of fantastic hearties who love you deeply and a story that’s so enchanting. I really am sad to see it coming to an end, but this is how things work here: everything must come to an end, even – and especially – the great things.

  29. I’m SO excited for Spooktacular!! It’s an epic event! I found your books through your Heart Breathings YouTube channel, and now I’m hooked on the Shadow Demons. I can’t wait to read whatever you write next!!

  32. I found this series on book bub! It was the first three books for free, and I’m so glad I got them! Absolutely love this series!!

  33. Congratulations!
    I found your series through your heart breathings YouTube channel. You’re amazing. You’ve accomplished so much but you still make time for your fans and other writers. Thank you for your books, your advice and for being you!

  34. I wish I’d found your books and Heart Breathings sooner. I’m 69 years old and you have given me so much encouragement to write the witchy stories I want to write. Your live reading of the Shadow Demons Saga is always a highlight. Thank you.

  35. I can’t believe we are at the end! Although I found the shadow demon world after it had started I fell in love right away! My first book I read from sarra was The trouble with saying goodbye and I loved it! I wanted more books and that’s how I found the shadow demon world. I am excited but sad for the story of harper and Jackson to end!! Thank you so much sarra!!!

  36. I wasn’t here when the series started. I just found you a few years ago. I am so glad I did, the series is amazing. I actually found the books through one of your videos. I watched a notebook video and I found out through there that you were an author and it sounded really interesting. So I got the first three books and I was hooked ever since. I caught up instantly and then I had to wait like everyone else for the next book in the series to come out. That was really hard. LOL Congratulations!

  38. I found out about your books through your writing channel. I am so excited to watch you go through this journey during NaNo.

  39. I believe I found you as I was looking around the app store. Of course I am officially addicted!

    Congratulations on 11 years!

  42. Hi Sarra! Congratulations on your eleven years as an indie author! I’ve been following you on your Heart Breathings channel for about two years now. I first discovered you when you posted your hour long notebook collection video and through that video, when you mentioned you were also an author, I started following you for your writing advice and reading your books. I’ve read the first four Shadow Demons books and loved them. I’ve also saw you read The Witch’s Key live on YouTube. I plan to buy all of your books in paperback (even the ones that are not available yet in paperback, I will get it once they are available) just so I can have all of your novels in physical copy. But thank you for the opportunity to enter a giveaway as generous as this. It means the world to a lot of your fans, including myself. Congrats again and may your writing career continue to be as bountiful as it has been these last eleven years! <3

  45. I found your amazing books through my mom! We have very similar taste in books. She knew I’d love them and recommend I read them. I’m hooked and love them!

  46. Congratulations on celebrating 11 years of Beautiful Demons!!
    I discovered your books while scrolling through my book store and instantly fell in love with your books instantly.
    Can’t wait to see how this series ends and what you will come up with next ❤

  47. I love these books I remember the 1st time I found your books I just downloaded the Kindle app for the first time and was browsing and the first 3 books of the series was offered for free. I mean who can say no to free books right? By the end of the first chapter I was hooked. You have a forever devoted fan.

  48. Sarra…I found you during Preptober 2020….so have been following you for a year now. Love your books. I’m currently reading Beyond the Darkness so have come a long way in the last year and now hoping to write an urban fantasy series of my own! You’re a true inspiration!! xx

  49. Sarra, I have not had a chance to read your books yet. I found you on youtube and starting watching your writing videos and your planner videos. I have loved them so much. You have given me so much inspiration. I have a picture of you on my vision board. I find you so uplifting and inspiring. Thank you for all that you do.

  50. So exciting! I found you through a Beautiful Demons Facebook ad almost 3 years ago. I’m so glad I did, because you’ve definitely written some of my favorite books!

  51. This is so much fun!!! I am in the midst of moving and all the unknowns as well, and your You Tube channel has been such a delight to listen to as I work on cleaning and organizing my digs, while manifesting the writing life of my dreams!

    1. I got the first book in the Shadow Demons series when it was still called the Peachville High series and I fell in love! Not only have I fallen in love with your books, you are a constant inspiration for me to follow my dreams to become a writer (slowly but surely) I have loved watching you grow as an author and look forward to continuing to follow you throughout your career! Thank you for being brave enough to give us a window into your life, you have been and will continue to be a huge inspiration for me!

  52. Amazing Sarra, congratulations on 11 years of an amazing series. If I’m honest, I don’t want it to end, but I know that all good things must…
    These books are like the only ones that I reread every year. (It used to be twice a year but there’s so many of them now, that I’d never get any other books read if I did that, lol.)
    I remember when I Mum first told me to read your books you only had the first 6 out. I’d reread the first 3 so many times we had to buy the next three. That seems so long ago and now you’re working on the 12th book! I just… Can’t.
    You’re amazing

  53. Congratulations, Sarra, on 11 years! You are such an amazing and beautiful person inside and out! Truly an inspiration for all! I’m sorry to see the world of Harper and friends end, but I know that your next series will be just as good and I can’t wait to see what your creative mind comes up with!

  56. Congrats Sarra on your 11 Year Bookversary! Wishing you many more.
    Let’s see how did I find Sarra and her books. Well she found me when a post recommendation on YT crossed my path. That was it, fan and follower forever.

  58. An amazing achievement to create such a body of work!! Found Sarra through Youtube first and then discovered the series 🙂

  65. Congrats on going strong for so long and keeping to it! I think I first discovered you on Wattpad, which led me to your published books.

  66. I found you about 6 years ago your first book was free on google and I fell in love instantly.

  70. I discovered your series through your Heart Breathings AuthorTube channel! I love watching your videos.

  72. What an amazing milestone Sarra! You are an inspiration. I learned of your books through YouTube and have become a fan of the series! I am so excited for you. Congratulations!

  73. I found the series from the YouTube readings! I’ve been following along the whole time, though I don’t always catch it live 🙂

  74. I’m so excited for spooktacular this year; I didn’t get to participate last year.

    I first became a fan after spending a lot of time on Sarra’s HeartBreathings YouTube channel for authors (which has changed my life btw).

  75. Love this so much. I have watched all your live readings. They have been so fun. The world you have created is so creative.

  76. I found the first three books free on Apple Books and after reading the first one I was addicted ha ha one of my favorite series ever

  77. I found out about the Beautiful Demons Saga through discovering Sarra’s Heart Breathings channel where I go to regularly for writing and organization tips. I’ve gotten into the Beautiful Demons through the first three (free) books to see what they were like, and the rest is history.

  78. this scavenger hunt is such a great idea! im diving back into my kindle to find it the words!

  79. Congratulations on 11 years. I love the Shadow Demon books and your other books you have written. I downloaded the first book when it was free and called the Peachville high and then redownloaded it when it was shadow demons and thought this sounds familiar and just had to reread it and continue the story. Thanks so much for this story ❤

  80. I absolutely love all of your books and cannot wait to be able to get rest of the set in order to finish reading it, you are an amazing author and I came across you about 3yrs ago now or so first time was actually on wattpad and I have followed you ever since.

  81. I discovered you last year during Spooktacular and started reading the free books. Now I’m hooked! Congrats on all your success as an author!

  82. Congratulations Sarra on so many years of making people happy! I loved the Spooktacular last year and am so glad you are doing it again this year.

  84. I have been looking forward to the Spooktacular since last year! It’s the best part of this school semester! Thank you for doing it again!! <3

  86. I found you through your Heart Breathings YouTube channel and then discovered your books from there. As soon as I read Beautiful Demons I was hooked, though I still need to read Deceiving Darkness and Vengeful Darkness. They are waiting on my ereader but they both rewards for finishing drafting my next book. I love Harper and Jackson but I have to say that Franki and Rend are my favourites, I loved Sacrifice Me … oh and I need more Connery and Charlotte OMG!

  88. Congratulations on 11 years. I believe it’s been 11 or 12 years since I wrote and had my first book published. In 2020 my daughter inspired me to start back writing. So, I did and we participated in NaNoWirMo and we both won. I’m still not finished with that one. I’ve started a new story just to give my mind a break from the other one.
    I can’t wait for more Spooktacular videos.
    I haven’t won anything from Sarra before so, I’m looking forward to entering these new giveaways.

  89. I found you by watching your Heart Breathings videos! I love the way you think and teach and finally started reading your books.

  90. I found you through Heart Breathings and what you have to say there is so clear and really clicked with me so I began to read your books. I’ve enjoyed them!

  93. I am so lucky that I found the Shadow demons series. I was going through a very hard time years ago when I found Beautiful Demons. It helped me so much to get through the tough times. Reading the series was the only thing that gave me joy. Years later and I still love to read the series, and it’s still as magical for me as it was years ago!

  94. Sarra, absolutely love your book you are in my top 5 favorite authors and love your style looking forward to what is next. You are so good to your fans and so active with us all. Your a wonderful writer and person ^_^

  95. Congratulations on 11 years. I found your books through your Heart Breathings channel, and have truly enjoyed them. I haven’t quite caught up to the latest book yet, but I am truly loving Harper’s story and Parrish’s as well.
    You are so incredibly kind to your fans and deserve all the success in the world.

  96. I discovered you and the Shadow Demon series while searching for books online back in 2012, while I was a non-traditional student at the University of Oregon. I would read your books on my nook in between classes to pass the time. I liked them so much I had to get the paperbacks and add them to my home library.

  97. Can’t believe it’s been 11 years this has been a great journey I can’t believe its ending. Love the series so much and thank you Sarra for bringing this series to life. Looking forward to the last book and your next big thing. Side note for some reason it seams I can’t enter the giveaway it wont take me anywhere.

  98. I love your books! This would be awesome. I can’t remember exactly how I came across them. Just looking around for something on the kindle app and decided to give the first beautiful demons book a try. So glad I did. Congratulations.

  99. I found you right after my shoulder surgery in 2012. My husband had bought me a nook and your books showed up as a recommendation. So glad I purchased them. Congratulations on 11 years!!!

  100. YOU ARE THE BEST! You are such a generous person! So glad I stumbled across you on YouTube that day two years ago. You were just what I needed at the time! Thank you!

  101. Can’t believe it has been 11 years, I grow up reading your books from middle and high school. I love this series so much. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

  103. Sarra, I am so happy to know you and your family. You are always a bright spot in my day. With everything going on and losing my job soon it is exciting to follow along with your guys adventures. Thank you for everything you do for us.

  104. I’ve been following you through Heart Breathings for a few years, but only started reading your books recently. I’m not usually a YA reader, but decided to give the books a chance and now I am hooked!

  105. I found your series one day when scouring the free section for books to read. I loved your writing and have read all of your books since. Congratulations on your 11th anniversary.

  107. I used to have a website that send me emails about free books. I found the first 3 for free years ago, and I’ve been here ever since! I’m so happy for you! You’ve done amazing with this whole thing <3 here’s to SO much more!
