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!
TODAY’S PARTY FAVOR
Today’s party favor is a Spooktacular Book Tracker Printable! 🖤📖
Keep track of all the books you’re reading throughout the month, make a list of your spooky TBRs, and have a little fun checking off each new adventure as you go.

🌙 Tomorrow’s Event
Tomorrow, we’re getting a little witchy!

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!)
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 have get with it and read the Fairhope series.
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!
IT BEGINS!!! I’m so exited for this Spooktacular! If I won the grand prize I would tell my sister first because I’ve talked about your books so much she now follows you on instagram despite never reading them!
YEAH it is finally here!!!!
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!
