SCAVENGER HUNT
Due to popular demand, we’re bringing back the Shadow Demons Scavenger Hunt! Each day, I’ll give you a book title, chapter title, paragraph, and word number, and you have to find the corresponding word.
This year, the words will spell out a clue about an exciting thing coming in 2027. The sentence will appear in order this year.
At the end of the day on October 31st, I’ll provide a Google Form for you to fill out (I’ll post it in the Coven on Facebook and on Discord for those of you who aren’t on FB, as well as a link in the blog post for that day). You’ll have ONE WEEK to submit the form (it will be turned off on November 7th), and I will contact the winners via email by November 15th.
Here is your first clue:
- BOOK: Beautiful Demons
- CHAPTER: Do Not Touch My Things
- 1st Paragraph
- 36th Word
Tip: A Paragraph is counted any time there is a paragraph break, even if it’s just one line or one word. If it’s a break with an indention, it’s a new paragraph!
Make sure you keep track of all 13 of your answers in a fun notebook or sticky note near your phone or computer, so you can enter to win on October 31st! All participants who submit 13 answers (even if it’s not exactly right) will get an exclusive digital gift from me.
GOOD LUCK!

I’m pumped for this year’s Spooktacular! If I won one of the grand prizes, I would definitely tell my family first, then my co-worker friends!
Since I’ve read most of your books, I would read the The Spiritwalkers ebook first, if I won the ebook grand prize.
Spooktacular is always the most magical time of the year!! I found you three years ago this month (10/2023) during prep-tober and then Spooktacular near the end of the month.
I’m super excited to read the Forgotten Sorrows series (I downloaded the series at HC26!)
It really is!!! ✨
Can’t wait for another amazing Spooktacular! Let’s go!!
I love the spooky season!!! Im excited for this year’s spooktacular! Awesome grand prizes. I definitely tell my sister. Shes also a fan.

I am soooo excited! I take part every year! October is my birthday month and I’m obsessed. If I won one of the grand prize giveaways, I would tell my partner 1st. He knows how obsessed I am with your books
Aaaaand it begins! I love this community! Now it feels like Fall!

If I won the books, I’d definitely tell my daughters first! xx
I absolutely love Spooktacular!! October is a great month to not only celebrate my birthday and Halloween but it also celebrates the series that got me to love reading again ❤️ Beautiful Demons captivated me and gave me a tiny escape from reality and I’m so excited for book 12!
I would definitely tell my writing friends first if I won!
Yay! Am ready for another fantastic Spooktacular!
I’m so excited for Spooktacular! I look forward to it every Halloween!
Happy Spooktacular!!!! I can’t wait to see what the scavenger hunt says!!!
Love Spooktacular! The graphics are so spooky with the black and deep purples. Good luck everybody!
Yay! Another Spooktacular is here!!! I am so excited!
I do own almost all of Sarra’s books (still have to buy the fairhope series books 3-6), but I do need to read once again the first Shadow Demons books, so that I can finish the series (I read all the other series I own, and can’t wait for the sequels to finally be published).
I’m so excited for this year Spooktacular! I would be telling my best friend first who is an avid reader like me.
I’m so hyped for this year!!! Can’t wait for it!
So excited!!!
I love Spooktacular!!! Thank you, Sarra, for all you do for this community!
If I won the paperbacks, I would tell my author mastermind group first.
Ahhhhhh, I am so excited! My first Spooktacular–I think I lurked one video a few years back–but now I love being in on the beginning. And in time for the 10/10 New Moon. I am obsessed.
If I win the grand prize, I’m gonna start all over at Beautiful Demons and go all the way through!
The whole vibes of the Spooktactular season just gives me so much joy!
This is my first Spooktacular with Sarra, how fun! Love the vibes and the spooky handouts. What a great way to get into the season
So excited for another Spooktacular! If I won either of these prizes, the first person I’d tell would be my bookish best friend because she’d understand the joy of having a complete collection. I’d probably start reading The Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw first, and then go back and read the rest in order of release.
I’m so excited for Spooktacular!!!! It’s the best time of the year! If I win the grand prize, I’m going to reread the series again, beginning with Beautiful Demons.
Looking toward all the fun!!
This is going to be awesome! Thank you… Happy Spooktacular!
So excited for spooktacular this year id read the witch’s key first
SPOOKTACULAR IS HEEEREEEE!!!!
So excited. Spooky season has officially started!
Listening to the live on youtube while crossing my fingers for the ebooks happy Spooktacular!
I love all your events and videos but Spooktacular is definitely my favorite! I can’t wait to join in and see all the fun things you have planned for us! Thank you, Sarra!
Just watched the live kickoff! It was so much fun! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s video!
I’m so happy for October! It’s Spooktacular time!
Happy Spooktacular!
Ready to celebrate, yay ^^
So happy Spooktacular is here!! I love the coffee chat today and the short story was good. I would probably tell my friends first that I won all the Sarra Cannon books. I also love the scavenger hunt, so much fun. I love all your books and can’t wait to get the MOS book.
So excited for the party!
Yay….let the fun begin
Love all of Sarra’s books, but I think I would have to start the Sacrifice Me series again.
Super exciting! Glad to be here another year!
I have to get with it and read the Fairhope series.
It’s my first time participating in Spooktacular live even though I’ve been following your YouTube channels almost since you began them! I’m so excited to take part!! And if I won the grand prizes, my partner would know first immediately. <3 But then I’d probably run and tell my Publish and Thrive Mastermind group because they’ve become such close friends and wonderful companions over the last couple of years! <3
I just saw the second question for the second grand prize giveaway! I would definitely start reading in publication order, from the very beginning. I love seeing an author’s journey through their writing and getting to experience how they’ve grown in their craft over time. It’s one of my favorite parts of deep-diving someone’s creations. <3
I’d tell my husband first. He’s not a reader but he listens to me go on and on about all things bookish.
Such a fun giveaway! I would read The Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw first. It has been on my TBR. Next would be starting Beautiful Demons from the start again.
I missed today’s live, but I caught the replay. This year’s spooktacular sounds so awesome. All of them have been! I loved the story “The Porch Light”.
I am so excited for this. I hope this is my year to win the grand prize? Thank you Sarra for being so generous to us.
friend
The Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw
I love Spooktacular! It’s the best time of the year!
If I won the book collection the first person I would tell would be my husband. He’s my best friend and I tell him everything. Plus he would have to be the one to help me rearrange the book shelf to make them all fit!
If I won the full book collection I would read beautiful demons first. I’ve read the series twice so I’d make that 3 times! Isn’t 3 times the charm?
I’m so excited Spooktacular is here!!! The schedule looks like it’s going to be a blast!!! As for the first book I’d read, Sacrifice Me Season 1. It’s a been a long time since I last read those ones.
This is sooooooo frigging fun!
I think this is my 3rd or 4th Spooktacular. I’m so excited, this event is my favourite part of autumn
Yay Laura! I’m so excited that you’re taking part this year, too! <3
If I won the ebook collection I would read the most recent Shadow Demons books!
If I won the grand prize I’d be so pumped! I’d probably tell whoever was closest to me first lol!
So excited for this year’s Spooktacular! I believe this will be my 4th year!
If I won all the book would take center stage on my bookshelf along side my other favorite series!
I absolutely ADORE this time of year. You always make Spooktacular so fun. I truly appreciate all the energy you put into this event. And your generosity with the giveaways is always unspeakably kind.
If I won I’d probably go reread The Witch’s Key first.
Love this time of year. Physical books just warm my soul. It’s hard to explain.
If I were lucky to win anything this year, I would start with Sacrifice Me. ☺️
Yay, another year of Spooktacular! It’s always so much fun, so thank you for doing it year after year, Sarra!!
Spooktacular is always fun and I know you put a lot of effort into it!
I’d start with the shadow demons series
I’d tell my mum first she knows I’m a fan!
I was so excited about the event I totally missed we’re having another scavenger hunt this year! WHOO HOO!
I look forward to this each year.
I think the only book of Sarra’s that I haven’t yet read is deep dark secrets…..so I would probably read that if I won 🙂
Spooktacular is finally here!!!!! Yay!!
If I won the giveaway I would immediately start reading A Mirror Of Shadows.
Love spooktacular time!
Scary movie time!
I would tell my mom and my sister if I won.
I’m so excited for Spooktacular! I was thrilled to learn the topic of the true crime chat. One of my favorites! I may have to watch the replay though. My birthday party is that day.
I would read Beautiful Demons first if I won the ebooks.
First book I’d read if I won is The Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw!
I would tell my best friend and my niece if I won! It would be great!
Late to the Party!!!
My daughter
Thanks for the book tracker page.
I’d probably tell my partner first, since we live together, and then my best friend who also happens to be my writing friend 🙂 <3
Which book would I read first… the Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw!
Woo! So excited for Spooktacular and even more excited that the Scavenger Hunt is back against his year!
So excited for my first Spooktacular! I just finished reading Beautiful Demons and loved it <3
Happy scavenger hunting!
Love the little spooky book tracker, such a fun way to see all the fun things I have read!
Oh my gosh the tracker is so CUTE!
… although, I might also want to start re-reading the Shadow Demon Saga after DOVS!
Happy hump day everyone!!
I would probably read the Eternal Sorrows one first because it has been awhile since I read the two books. I love all of your books though so it is hard to choose. Enjoying Spooktacular
If I won the e-books I would start with The Witches Key.
If I won I would tell my daughter, so she could read them too
So excited for this! I love the plan for this year.
Ready for twitch!!
I’d read “A Mirror of Shadows” first. I’m so excited about the finished version and the changes that were made :}
Hope everyone had a spectacular day!
I’m sad I won’t get to see the lives since I’m working a part-time job during that time, but I’ll catch the replays. I’d love this whole set of books!
I’d read Beautiful Demons first. I’ve listened to you read the first six books on Youtube, but it’s been a while and I’d love to read the whole series.
If I won, I’d probably run and tell my accountability groups that I’ve joined through YPF and FTF. Then I’d come to the SC discord.
Happy FriYaY!!
Spooktacular is always my favorite time of year!
I would likely tell either my Mum or my Bestfriend first, even though my bestfriend has never read them but he knows how much I love them.
Weekend vibes! Have a great day all.
This is so cool! This will be my first Spooktacular, and I think it’s fantastic that you do this! This is definitely my favorite season, so I am so here for it! Thank you, Sarra!
If I won the ebooks I’d start with Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw
And if I won the paperbacks I would run and yell at my best friend and then celebrate with her
Looking forward to Curatirs reading sprints tonight!
Spooktacular is so much fun! Thanks for doing it.
I think I would have to read… The second book in the Fairehope Series honestly as it’s one of the few I’ve never read at all. I’m just not a massive romance reader so it’s not been high on my list, even though I have really wanted to read it for ages, ever since I first read The Trouble With Goodbye…
I’m really happy that this is happening again this year. The true crime episode was really great. Sad story, but great presentation of facts and mystery alike.
Who would I tell first? My fellow readers in the Discord.
I’m a new fan of yours (I came from Heart Breathings channel but I’ve been wanting to get back into reading again), and I would start with Beautiful Demons of the Shadow Demons Saga! That’s because I would probably tandem read the series alongside your other works.
If I won I’d tell my best friend first
This would be amazing
If I won, I’d tell my P&T mastermind group first
I would tell my boyfriend if I won because I talk about your books and YouTube videos all of the time, so he’d know how excited I’d be.
The book I read first is Beautiful Demons
Hope everyone is having a great week so far!!
Hoping I can stay up late enough to catch some of you on twitch tonight!!
