T5W: Non- Horror Books that Scared You

Top 5 Wednesday is a great Goodreads group with a new topic each week. Check out my original post for more information! This week's Top 5 Wednesday is Non-Horror Books that Scared You. This can be entire books you found frightening or just specific scenes from those books, but discuss books that weren't technically supposed to scare you, but did.

1. The Host – Stephanie Meyer
Maybe more creepy than anything. Species taking over the mind of humans…. NO THANK YOU!

2. The Lovely Bones – Alice Sebold
This is considered YA Mystery, but it seriously scared me. Recounting a murder from the young teens perspective in heaven.

3. The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die – April Henry
I read this after moving to a farm in the middle of nowhere. It’s a YA thriller/mystery so it’s kinda of cheating, but I still think about how much this scares me. Sadly this was loaned out and never returned to me :(

4. Gemina – Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff, and Marie Lu
Seriously I only need one word here…. COWS

5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – J.K. Rowling
OK, let me explain. I was so scared of what J.K. Rowling would do to my beloved characters as it was the final book. I don’t want to spoil anyone who still hasn’t read these, but I was heartbroken to hit the end.

So, I realized that Harry Potter is mentioned A LOT in my Top 5 Wednesdays. Honestly, I should challenge myself to chill on that, but they are one of my favorite set of books! 

Anyways, if you participated this week stick your link in the comments. I’d love to read it!
