This is Not A Cliffhanger: Happy Halloween! Celebrate with The October Trilogy by Heather Killough-Walden!

I recently stumbled upon Suddenly Sam, the newly released third book in The October Trilogy by Heather Killough-Walden. Which combines quite a few ~~obsessions~~ loves of mine: Halloween, paranormal, and young adult. Apparently I have been living underneath a rock and have completely missed a series that practically has my name written on it. So for those of you who have been hanging out under the rock with me, I'm going to give you a Halloween treat and let you know about it. If you're really nice and agree to share your Halloween candy with me (none of those taffy things either!) I may even include a teaser for you.

Suddenly Sam

The October Trilogy, Book Three

Samhain is running out of time. When the clock strikes midnight on Halloween, the door to his realm will close forever, and any precious hope he possessed of winning the heart of the woman he would choose as queen will vanish along with October. A desperate lack of time calls for desperate measures, and Sam finds himself pushing boundaries and breaking rules to claim the heart he loves. But there is more at stake here than even the Death God realized, and as the long hand climes toward October’s final moments, what is truly to be gained and truly to be lost becomes all too terrifyingly clear.

Logan Wright’s world spins out of control as she is dragged unwillingly into the realm bordering Samhain’s kingdom. But what begins as a struggle to free herself from Sam’s clutches and leave the new yet achingly familiar land she has entered becomes a journey of dawning understanding and self discovery – as October Land, in all of its amber-hued splendor and Autumn magic not only captures her body and soul, but the very heart she is trying so desperately to protect.

Somewhere between the mortal realm and the Realm of the Dead, in the fantastical world of apple orchards and pumpkin patches, cinnamon spice, and midnight masquerades, ten friends quest for power, freedom, and salvation – and one must make the ultimate choice. And the ultimate sacrifice.

Suddenly Sam is the anxiously awaited third and final heart-pounding novel in the award winning young adult paranormal romance series, The October Trilogy, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Heather Killough-Walden.

White lightning split the sky overhead, casting the masquerade floor into stark contrasts of light and dark. Thunder, its violent brother, came rumbling along after. The Harvesters looked up, fidgeting nervously in their seats.

Logan, however, remained as she was, her gaze trapped in Sam’s as if held there by chains. “I have a life to live, Sam.”

The lightning that had been dancing through the skies now dove for the ground, shooting into the forest nearby and cracking a tree in half. The sound shocked the universe for a moment, and the ground shook.

Sam’s gaze never left hers. “When will the living stop using their lives against me?” he asked.

“When you stop using death against them.”
