This week is a Top Ten freebie for Halloween! Wooh bring on the scary stuff. After much deliberation (well, not that much) I decided to go with books about people being stalked or chased- because who doesn't like that at this time of the year? Well, fictionally speaking. So here are my Top Ten run for your life reads.
Why are they chasing her?
Stranded on an island.
This was a trip.
Trapped under NYC in abandoned subway tunnels... and being hunted. Yes please.
Nasty faeries and a group being picked off one by one- what's not to like?
I loved this urban fantasy - with a character named Chalice Frost, how could I not??
I rather liked this urban fantasy carnival.
More urban fantasy + carnival
A town off the grid and lotsa secrets.
Nasty faeries and a group being picked off one by one- what's not to like?
Trapped by a blizzard and a killer on the prowl.
I love stories where someone hears or sees something but no one believes them.
I guess this one's a no- brainer in the run for your life category.
Ooh does a zombie apocalypse count?
I loved this urban fantasy - with a character named Chalice Frost, how could I not??

Poor Lana saw something she shouldn't have...
Creepy AF at times.
Haha, I love your choice of topic. I did love City of the Lost, because if there's one thing worse than being stalked or chased, it's being stalked and chased in the middle of nowhere where there's no sign of civilization to be had for miles and no one to help you.

Thanks! Yes I loved city of the Lost partly because whenever she was in the woods, Armstrong managed to capture that is-there-someone-behind-you feel haha!
DeleteI really want to read The Woman in the Window
ReplyDeleteI recommend it- not everyone liked it but I liked the paranoia of it, the sense that it was almost like a Hitchcock movie.
DeleteEvery time I see Freeks, I think I have it on my Kindle and then I look and I don't. I must have a book with a similar cover. I am still interested in Ten and Survive the Night. 🎃
ReplyDeleteTen is very YA and Freeks is pretty good!
DeleteOooh, love the theme you went with! I'm always looking for more good stalker stories, haha. I haven't read any of these except The Hunger Games and Contagion, but I loved both of those, so I'm gonna have to add some of these to my TBR! :) Happy reading!

Check out my T10T here!
Thanks! And haha right? Contagion was SO creepy!
DeleteStalking scares me so much. Great top for your Top Ten!
ReplyDelete*topic
DeleteThanks Leah.
DeleteBeing stranded on an island? That plot alone is CREEPY!! *shudders* THG also fits well because well, yeah, the plot is pretty self explanatory.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the Finding Wonderland visit, Greg.
Right? That would definitely be freaky I think.
DeleteDidn't know Contagion was so creepy. Interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it was going to be either, but I really liked it!
DeleteI love THIS IS NOT A TEST!! I can't read a ton of zombie books bc they give me nightmares, but that was one that I braved bc I'm a big fan of the author. Also, zombies aren't in it THAT much. SURVIVE THE NIGHT is one I own and really want to find time to read.
ReplyDeleteYes it's awesome. In fact I may need to reread it at some point (and the novella).
DeleteI still have to read any of the books you listed here, but they are on my endless TBR pile! Probably Menagerie is at the top of my list :)
ReplyDeleteMenagerie is good stuff. :)
DeleteOOoh great picks! Seeing a lot of favorites! Menagerie, Survive the Night, ANY Kelley Armstrong book, Three Days to Dead, Ten, and ECHOES! I loved that one!! Dying for a sequel to it too! I still need to read Contagion but I was leaning towards binging it with the sequel next year!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Yes Echoes NEEDS a sequel! And I highly recommend Contagion- although w/ that ending, binging it with the sequel might be a great way to go!
DeleteI loved three Days to Dead (especially Isleen) and I ned more Armstrong.
Great list! Survive the Night sounds really fun. I'd also recommend Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None - there was a wonderful BBC adaptation of it a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteOoh I'll have to check that out!
DeleteSome of these I still need to read but I definitely love the series by Armstrong, it is one of my favorites and I can't wait for the next one!
ReplyDeleteSame here, I am loving that series!
DeleteI need to grab Contagion from the library and I own Freeks - I got it in a subscription box. Survive the Night got on my nerves and I wish I had read The Merciless instead. Great list Greg!
ReplyDeleteHaha Contagion is quite good.
DeleteThe Woman in the Window was one of my favorites this year. Can't wait for the movie!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it too!
DeleteYes! The Casey Duncan series! An Unwanted Guest sounds good. I'll have to check it out. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was fun- and yes the Casey series such a fave right now.
DeleteI have to agree, stories about people being chased terrify me! Great choice for the topic. I've read several of these, Ten and Survive the Night, and it's almost more than I can take as a reader, lol.
ReplyDeleteHaha those were both tense!
DeleteThe cover of Ten always creeps me out. It looks so foreboding. And yeah, Hunger Games is the ultimate “run for your life” tale. I actually used Effie is my post for today. :)
ReplyDeleteRight? I love that cover. I'm not sure the book QUITE lives up to it, but it's fun.
DeleteA few of these are on my list-Survive the Night, Contagion, An Unwanted Guest, and I loved Three Days to Dead!
ReplyDeleteI did too- and I think all of those are winners.
DeleteOoh, This Is Not a Test sounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Fun topic! I love This Is Not a Test, Ten, and The Hunger Games. I still need to read some of these though.

I loved all those too!
DeleteGood choice for this week!
ReplyDeleteEchoes was definitely interesting, and of course, who could forget The Hunger Games! Contagion sounds interesting, but I haven't read it yet.
I love This Is Not a Test. Super curious about Survive the Night!
ReplyDeleteI received an ARC of This is Not a Test a few years ago. It was really good. Good recommendations.
ReplyDeleteHa fun list! I just read a book about a serial stalker, that would be an interesting twist
ReplyDeleteAwesome list! Menagerie sounds so good! I really want to read that one.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Some of these covers are really awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great list! I loved Ten, This is Not a Test, The Hunger Games (of course) and An Unwanted Guest and totally want to read Echoes and 13 Secrets. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteBwahahahaha Greg yes Hunger Games is a no brainer to run for one's life LOL Great choices here! Sophie @bewareofthereader
ReplyDeleteCool topic. The only one I’ve read is The Hunger Games, but if any of these other books are as good as that series, I need to read them.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I don't even need the NYC subway to be abandoned for it to scare me.
ReplyDeleteI have not read any of the books on your list, guess that means I don't really read much about people getting chased or stalked, although I did try to read the hunger games once but just couldn't get into it.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
Oh yeah, being stalked is definitely super creepy!! Makes my skin crawl. I still need to read An Unwanted Guest!
ReplyDeleteI've had This Is Not a Test on my TBR for a million years, and I meant to read it this month but I've ended up running out of time. Oops. Hopefully I can get to it soon, though :)
ReplyDelete"Trapped under NYC in abandoned subway tunnels... and being hunted." Yikes! Glad I'm reading this post after my NYC trip rather than before, lol.
ReplyDeleteThis Is Not a Test and Contagion *almost* made my list! And Echoes did, because I want to read it. I love that THG is on here, too! And I think I feel like the person in Woman in the Window? Someone sees something and no one believes them? It's me in Bookish Games! Also I really love the idea of the abandoned Reaper... er, subway tunnels, I will probably have to give that one a try! Great list!
ReplyDeleteOoh great list! Run for your life books are always so intense and they stress me out so much! I haven't read any of these books apart from The Hunger Games and I don't know if I'm game enough to try!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten Tuesday
How much deliberation exactly? :-P The topic you decided on is unexpectedly specific lol. I couldn't even think of one book about people being stalked/hunted, let alone ten! But I have read The Hunger Games, so I'm prob just bad at remembering lol. 13 Secrets sounds kind of awesome.
ReplyDeleteI like where you went with his topic!!! I really want to get Echoes and City of the Lost. The Woman in the Window is great for the topic!
ReplyDeleteWhat She Saw totally caught my eye. Nice list topic :)
