Suggested five books to read by the warm fire or with candles or music.
Crescendo (Hush, Hush #2) by Becca Fitzpatrick
Nora Grey’s life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn’t pleasant, but at 
least she got a guardian angel out of it – A mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He’s more elusive than ever (if that’s possible) and what’s worse, he seems to be spending time with Nora’s arch-enemy, Marcie Millar.
Halo (Halo #1) by Alexandra Adornetto
Three angels – Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, the youngest and most human – 
are sent by Heaven to bring good to a world falling under the influence of darkness. They work hard to conceal their luminous glow, superhuman powers, and, most dangerous of all, their wings, all the while avoiding all human attachments.
Something Wicked This Way Comes (Green Town #2) by Ray Bradbury
A carnival rolls in sometime after the midnight hour on a chill Midwestern October eve, ushering 
in Halloween a week before its time. A calliope’s shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. In this season of dying, Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at 
an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality they slip gradually from obsession to corruption and betrayal, and at last – inexorably – into evil.
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
Late one night, exploring her father’s library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of 
yellowing letters addressed ominously to ‘My dear and unfortunate successor’. Her discovery plunges her into a world she never dreamed of – a labyrinth where the secrets of her father’s past and her mother’s mysterious fate connect to an evil hidden in the depths of history.
