I know what you’re thinking. A Nicholas Sparks book? No way, he writes cliché romances. And you would be right. However, one of the scariest books I have ever read was “The Guardian.” It has suspense, some dark themes, and some romance to boot. If you get your scares from more realistic stories, this is for you during this spooky season. The main character Julie has a devoted dog, as well as a pretty intense stalker. I would definitely recommend this story with a 4 out of 5. The only reason that I don’t give it a 5 is that I had nightmares for days. I hope you enjoy this book during this spooky season!
