It's been a little while since the last time I wrote a Mailbox Monday post, so I figured out it was time for a new post. The weekly meme is created by the blog named  Mailbox Monday and here's the books I've recieved in the mail lately. The Haunting of Gillespie House by Darcy Coates Description from Goodreads Elle can't believe her luck; she's spending a month house-sitting the beautiful Gillespie property.

The Long Shadows of October by Kristopher Triana Description from Goodreads When Joe and Danny take on the job of housesitting Snowden Manor, they fail to realize they won’t be in the house alone.

Kayla has a crush on Joe, so when he asks her to come to a party at the manor she accepts his invitation. But no sooner do they get there than strange things start to unfold.
