    Spooktacular has been AMAZING! Can’t wait for next year!

    1. You’re going to love them! i read them right after these shadow demon ones and just as good!

  3. Happy Halloween I have not read the Eternal Sorrows series yet but I’m excited to read them! This year’s spooktacular had been amazing and I’m looking forward to next year!!

  5. I can’t believe we’ve arrived at the last day of Spooktacular. This has been a magical experience!! I feel so luckily to be apart of this community. Thank you Sarra for sharing your light and love!!! Happy day 13 <3

    1. I forgot to say thank you to Sarra for your generosity!! This last prize is amazing just like every other day. The entire event makes me feel like a winner. All of the time and effort Sarra and the team have put in makes me feel so special!!! GREAT JOB!!! Spooktacular was Spectacular!!!

  6. I haven’t managed to read the second half of the beautiful demons series yet, not for lack of want, more a lack of time and funds, but they’re definitely on my amazon wishlist/TBR pile!

  7. Oh my goodness! This has been so much fun. I’m a part of the replay crew (time differences and kids make it hard to get up at 3am to watch live ) and just wanted to say this has been an absolute blast! Thank you so much for all the time and effort you’ve put in, and especially your generosity, in making this such an awesome time for us. Happy Halloween to you and yours โค

    1. also just wanted to add, I’ve read the Witch’s Key (which I adored!) and am about to start Deep, Dark Secrets and After Midnight. I have the first 3 shadow demons books on my kindle but haven’t gotten around to them yet since I plan on making that series the one I binge read in 2024 ๐Ÿ™‚

  8. What of sarraโ€™s books have I not read? Sadly, Iโ€™ve only read the first 3 of โ€œBeautiful Demons,โ€ BUT the ebooks are part of my Nano rewards.
    Thanks for an awesome Spooktacular! Canโ€™t wait for Nano!!!

  9. I’m so sorry that this spooktacular is already ending!!! Can’t wait to see you again next year!!!
    I still have to read a few of the shadow demons books, and I only read 2 of the 6 fair hope series

  10. I have not read the Eternal Sorrows series and the Fairhope series.
    Thank you for an amazing spooktacular! It was so much fun x

  11. “Which (if any) of Sarra’s books have you NOT read yet?”

    Nothing past book 4 of Shadow Demons series. Or any of the other series’ (yet).

  12. I am unable to access the google form. If says you have to be a part of the owners organization.

  13. Spooktacular was amazing. I have the first three books in the Shadow Demon series. I have so many books on my kindle that I haven’t gotten around to reading them yet. At some point I plan to get the rest of the books in the series. Have a great Halloween!

  14. I can’t believe today is the last day. This has been fun. I will do this again next year!

  15. I haven’t read the sacrifice me books yet but I’m currently rereading the shadow Demons saga again

  16. Unfortunately I havenโ€™t read any of your books but I will listen to the audiobooks. Thanks for an amazing spooktacular. โค๏ธ

  17. The only books I have read are the beautiful demons series. This is so exciting! Happy Halloween!!

  18. For some reason. I’m not allowed to open the Google form for the scavenger hunt. It says it can only be viewed by users in the owner’s organisation.

  19. I haven’t finished any of Sarra’s books yet. I’m part way through “Beautiful Demons”.

    I hope you and your family have a fun and safe Halloween.

    1. Happy Samhain/Halloween! I’m currently reading Shadow Demons Saga – almost finished with Inner Demons. Haven’t read any of Eternal Sorrows, Fairhope, or Eternal Sorrows. I also haven’t read The Spiritwalkers and Willow Harbor. All of them are definitely on my TBR list. You are an amazing writer, Sarra and I am so grateful for you! This has been a fantastic Spooktacular! Thank you!

  20. The books I haven’t read of Sarra’s are The Fairhope series, the 3rd book in the Eternal Sorrows series and Sarra’s books from the Willow Harbor series. They’re all on my TBR though! I’ve loved the Spooktacular! Happy 13th Birthday Beautiful Demons! <3

  21. Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to start the Fairhope series. I can’t wait until I do. Thank you for all your books and the Spooktacular.

  22. Happy Halloween!
    Iโ€™ve not completed the Shadow Demons Saga yet – I have read the first few books though ๐Ÿ™‚

  23. I can’t believe this is the last day!! This has been so much fun watching all your blogs, scavenger hunt and videos. I have read all your books except the Fair Hope series which I just ordered. I love your books and can’t wait for TDOVS which I also ordered. Your energy and positive outlook on life has really changed and I am so happy for you.

  24. So Iโ€™m late to the party and have a lot of catching up to do. Iโ€™ve only read Beautiful Demons so far! Loved it and I canโ€™t wait to read the rest. Iโ€™m also super excited about TDOVS!

    Thank you for an amazing time with Spooktacular! Youโ€™re amazing and I appreciate all you do!

  25. I haven’t read Fairhope or Sacrifice Me yet. I’ll be doing a Shadow Demons reread soonโ€” this series is one of the ones I’m planning to break down and annotate in my ‘Series I Love & Why’ self-created syllabus for 2024โ€”and plan to read them in your recommended reading order. Can’t wait!

  26. So excited to hear the short story. If I won the money I would use it towards publish and thrive. And I would read all the books in the interim.

  27. I have yet to read the Fairhope series and I have it on my tbr. But Happy Samhain/ Happy Halloween everyone. Remember to be safe tonight and that even after tonight your magic is always strong and always with you. โค๏ธ

  28. Omg Sarra! How fun this has been! Tho Iโ€™ve been catching all the dailies on the replays , itโ€™s like a little treat every night after work. Plus! Itโ€™s my bday week so Iโ€™m feeling extra blessed and lucky . I look forward to Spooktacular every year and have been using you as an inspiration for my author career. Thank you for your tremendous generosity with these freebies and giveaways. Happy Halloween and Happy Book Birthday!

  29. Thank you for all the events and fun content you have created for Spooktacular this year, Sarra! It’s been so fun to have something new to look forward to everyday.
    So far I have been working through your SDS books. I am currently up to Sacrifice Me, and enjoying the series. I am really looking forward to TDOVS.

  30. Sarra, thank you so much for this fun spooktacular blogathon! ๐Ÿ™‚ So far I have not read the Eternal Sorrows series (but they are on my TBR / wishlist!) as well as the Fairhope series (because I’m not much of a pure romance reader). Love love love all your paranormal fantasy books! <3

  31. This has been some of the most fun I’ve ever had on the internet (and I’m in my 30s so I’ve been around for a while). I’m sad I didn’t get tontake part in any of the lives, but I’m hoping I will be in a different place next year so fingers crossed I will be able to join those in the future!
    As for the books by Sarra that I haven’t read… I would have to say most of them. I just discovered her channel earlier this year so I’ve read what I can. I would love to finish the Shadow Demons Saga (I’m at the end of #2 and completely enraptured) but I’m also highly interested in reading the Witches Key!
    Thank you again for making the past 13 days so much fun!

  32. I havenโ€™t read the Fairhope series yet. Happy Halloween! Thank you for the fabulous spooktacular!

  33. To make this comment short, I’ve only read Beautiful Demons (I know! I hope to remedy this soon!!)

  34. Thank you for running all the different events for the Spooktacular! I enjoyed the Wednesday streaming and have watched on the replay a lot of the noon lives. Always interesting to hear you talk.

    I confess as a HeartBreathings import I havenโ€™t read your fiction books. In answer to your video the other day where you asked what people liked to read, I said I didnโ€™t generally read YA. By that I mean I donโ€™t go looking for it, but I said in my comment there that more than anything I respond to a good story. A friend of mine was surprised how much I had enjoyed Wednesday as itโ€™s โ€œnot your thingโ€ but I thought it was good. I was compelled by the mystery! Like any reader I have a few hundred books listed on my GoodReads TBR.

    Thank you again for the Spooktacular events. It has been fun.

  35. Happy Halloween!!! I have read ALL of your books, and I am really looking forward to whatever you publish! Because they are so good, I have read a few of the series, twice! Thank you for all you do for your readers. You are my favorite author and such an inspiration to others. Hoping to see your stories made into a movie or TV series!

  36. I’ve just started Beautiful Demons, so have lots to look forward to! Thank you for a wonderful Spooktacular <3

  37. I haven’t read the Fairhope series. I have so enjoyed the Spooktacular event hate to see it end!! Happy Halloween all!!

  38. I havenโ€™t read any books by Sarra yet by it to be fair, I only just found her a few months ago when I searched โ€œindie authors who are momsโ€

  39. Sarra,

    This Spooktacular has been amazing. I have tried to be at every event, although I missed a few. I wish we could do this every month.

    But, it will be a great thing to wait for next year.

  40. I haven’t read the Fairhope series, the witch’s key or the 2 books in willow harbor series.

  41. This whole event has been such a blast! I’m sad to see it come to an end. BUT the end of Spooktacular means the beginning of NaNoWriMo…!

  42. I have not read the fairhope series… yet. Thank you so much Sarra (and those behind the scenes). This has been a blast

  43. Iโ€™ve read the first three books of the Shadow Demons Saga, and Iโ€™d like to read the rest of it to learn how Sarra pulled together an epic series thatโ€™s beloved by so many.

  44. Happy Samhain/Halloween!
    I’m 80% through the Trouble with Goodbye and after that will start Beautiful Demons ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you for all of these lovely giveaways!

  45. I haven’t read most of Sarra’s books yet. I am working my way through the Shadow Demon series first. I’m excited to read the Disappearance of Vannessa Shaw when it comes out.

  46. Iโ€™ve only recently found your books, so other than the Beautiful Demons box set, which I loved!!!! I havenโ€™t read any of the others yet, they are all in my wish list though.

    Spooktacular is a fantastic event. Thank you!!

  47. So far Iโ€™ve only read the first 3.5 in Shadow Demons. Iโ€™m so pumped
    For the rest though, and excited for the change of pace in the Fairhope Series!

    Thanks for running a wonderful Spooktacular! โ™ฅ๏ธ

  48. I have been having so much fun I can’t believe it’s the last day. Between Honoring my brother (he past away 2 years ago) as well as losing oldest dog. To everything turning around by helping bring my 1st grandchild in to this world. I look forward to all the new beginnings.
    Celebrating Deautiful Demons is one of my highlights of the year I have to look forward to, (it’s the 1st book in a long time that peak my interest and got me started back into reading.
    Thank you Sarra for making such wonderful books. Can’t wait to not only see whst comes next but the audio books as well.

  49. Spooktacular has been great, the best one ever. Seeing you happy and having a blast was the best part!

  50. Shadow Demons Saga is all so far, have everything else in my TBR-thanks for a fun spooktacular

  51. I found Sarra through Heart Breathings this summer and I haven’t had a chance to read her books yet . After Spooktacular, I’m even more interested! Yesterday’s sneak peek at the audiobook was awesome!!

  52. Happy Halloween & Samhain! I ordered some of the SDS and TDOVS on the order form because I haven’t had a chance to read either yet which is crazy for how long I’ve been following Sarra lurking in the background, but I’m excited to get my hands on them and start reading all of her books!

  53. I’m reading The Witching Well and have the first three SDS on my Kindle. I have the first Fairhope Hope book too which I’m really excited to read after Sarra used it in her HB video on Dialogue recently!

  54. Happy Halloween! This has been so much fun and I looked forward to every live! I only missed 2 because I was traveling but caught everything else. I have not read all of the shadow demons saga YET, but they are on my TBR list! Thank you Sarra for taking the time to be with us daily it really means a lot that you take so much time to appreciate all of your followers/fans.

  55. I’ve read Deep Dark Secrets, The witch’s Key and Beautiful Demons. I haven’t read any of the other books yet.

  56. Oh man I am so sad to see these end. I have read your books a few times and anytime a new one comes out i have to start over because it has to be fresh hah. Have a great Halloween everyone!

  57. Spooktacular was AMAZING this year! Sorry that it’s over but SO ready for NaNo and The NaNoWriMo Diaries!!!!! Woot woot!

  58. I’ve only read the first Beautiful Demons book, so I have a lot of reading to do, yay! ๐Ÿ˜€

  59. Spooktacular has been amazing, thank you so much for all you do! I canโ€™t wait for all the next year has to come!

  60. Happy Halloween! A doubly good day, as it is also our anniversary! ๐Ÿ˜€

    One series I haven’t read (yet) is Fairhope…but I’ve read everything else!

    Thank you again for another awesome Spooktacular!!!

  61. Thank you for hosting such a fun event! Spooktacuar was amazing!! I haven’t read your contemporary new adult books…yet. I plan to read them now that I’m all caught up with the Shadow Demons Saga.

  62. Thanks for all of the spooktacular events team! Sarra thanks for being and amazing author, years ago Shadow Demons Series roped me in and when I say every year I read the entire series…as does my daughter it’s true! Appreciate all of the fun events and entry opportunities.

  63. Hi, Sarra!

    I haven’t read anything yet but I really want to! The disappearance of Vanessa Shaw sounds great ๐Ÿ˜€

    Thank you! Have a nice day~

  64. I haven’t read your Fair Hope Series. & I’m just starting Beautiful Demons! I’m loving it so far and I can’t wait for TDOVS! Thank you so much for Spooktacular! It’s been fun & exciting every single day!

  65. The only books Iโ€™ve read are in the Beatify Demons universe, So I havenโ€™t read things like Fairhope and Witchโ€™s Key and whatnot.

  66. I’ve only read a few of the Beautiful Demons books. I would love to read all of them!

  67. I’ve just started the Shadow Demons Saga! Happy Halloween! Thanks for the giveaway ๐Ÿ™‚

  68. Ahhh! It’s Halloween already! Day 13! All this has just flown by! Thank you so much for the 13 days of fun as well as for the giveaways! Grats to everyone who has won!

  69. This has been fun! I haven’t read past the first book of the Fairhope series and the Shadow Demons series. I did just start the second book of the SD series last night.

  70. The ones I haven’t read are the fairhope series and the disappearence of Vanessa Shaw ๐Ÿ™‚

  71. Happy Halloween! This has been tons of fun. It would be great if you kept streaming on Twitch. ๐Ÿ™‚

  72. Happy Halloween or Samhain blessings. This was great congrats on all your accomplishments Serra.

  73. I come primarily from Heart Breathings. Last month I finally downloaded the first three books of the Shadow Demons Saga on my Kindle. I’m a notoriously slow reader. I’ve read the first but nothing else from any of Sarra’s series or standalone books. So almost none of her books. I really want to continue the Shadow Demons Saga and start the Eternal Sorrows series. Thanks for the fun.

  74. I have read them all! And loved every minute of it! Patiently waiting for Book Twelve of Shadow Demons and Book Four of Fates Surrender.

  75. This Spooktacular has been amazing! Thank you for all of the fun days. Happy Halloween. See you for NaNo!

  76. Happy Halloween!!! Iโ€™ve had a blast this whole spooktacular!! And I loved the short story with all me heart! Great job Sarra!!

  77. I have The Witches Key and haven’t read it yet, same with Deep Dark Secrets. I’m ordering the two books from the WIllow Harbor series this spooktacular. I recommend the Eternal Sorrows series to everyone.

  78. Spooktacular has been amazing!!! I haven’t read any of Sara’s books yet, even though I love them. I’m waiting for those audiobooks!

  79. I read the Sacrifice Me Series (which I loved) and Iโ€™m waiting for Beautiful Demons to be complete so I can binge read them all at once! I discovered Sarra through Heartbreathings.

  80. Eek… I’ve only read Beautiful Demons so far! I’m looking forward to reading the whole series, as well as Sarra’s other books โค๏ธ

  81. I have not had the pleasure of reading any of your books yet. I wish I would have been able to be involved more with the Spooktacular but I have been sick. Maybe next year! I am still going to shoot for Nano this year. Good luck to all my fellow writers. This one is my first book ever! Happy Writing!

  82. I’m currently reading Sacrifice Me. I haven’t read any of the books outside of the Shadow Demons Saga

  83. I’m also a Heart-y. I have the first three books on my Kindle so they’re on my TBR. I will definitely get to them in 2024.
    Thanks for the fun Spooktacular! This is one of my favorite times of year and your event made it even more fun. ๐Ÿ™‚

  84. I’m not answering the question just in case it means I don’t win those ebooks ๐Ÿ˜‰ see you all next year!

  85. Thank you for such an amazing Spooktacular! The energy, effort, community… it was all just so wow!

  86. wow thank you soooo much for all you have done in the spooktacular! And thank you for that novella! I was able to download on my Kobo can’t wait to read it!!! you rock!

  87. I haven’t read anything but Beautiful Demons so far. I really wish I had a bigger budget for books. (Plus the extra time to read them all in one go!) I’d love to finish the series.

  88. I haven’t read the Fair hope series (minus the first book – which I quite enjoyed) I don’t believe I’ve read the final book of the Eternal Sorrows Series (If I have o don’t remember anything about it which would be unusal.) Deep Dark Secrets (although I’ve just ordered this one so won’t be long) and the Willow Harbor Series.

  89. I’m probably in the minority here, but I actually haven’t read any of Sarra’s books yet! I actually found her via Heart Breathings, but after listening to her read this story today, and the snippet of “The Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw” on a coffee chat a few weeks back, I definitely think it’s time to change that. I’m thinking today’s party favour is the perfect place to start! Thanks Sarra!!!

  90. I think I have read everything except for the latest book DVS, and maybe some short stories

  91. I have not read the Fair Hope series yet! I am excited to also read TDOVS when it gets released. ๐Ÿ™‚

  92. I have not read the Fair Hope series yet! I also cannot wait to read TDOVS when it is released. ๐Ÿ™‚

  93. i haven’t yet read the disappearance of venessa shaw! (okay, maybe that goes for all of us and i have a bunch of other books i still need to get my hands on, but i’m excited for dovs)

  94. Well, I’ll just finish Inner Demons the next days. So getting all those ebooks, that would be so amazing!

  95. Thank you so much for this year’s spooktacular. I’ve been a bit stuck in a rut after a break from writing, and getting involved with this, has really given me a much needed boost. Lots of love to Sarra and the whole team xx

  96. You are so generous! Thank you for an epic Spooktacular! I still have some videos to catch up on, so it will continue for me for the next week or so (now thereโ€™s nano diaries โ€ฆ you are a prime example of an HD Generator lol). You are amazing. Thank you for treating us fans with so much love and care.

  97. Spooktacular has been such an amazing event ๐Ÿ™‚ thank you for doing all you do to make your fans a community of friends! <3
