He also provides his Book of Shadows as a guide to creating your own.

4. "Impulse"

This book follows the lives of three very different individuals. However, they are all going to the same location known as Aspen Springs, which is for those who have tried to commit suicide multiple times. You meet the characters Vanessa, Conner and Tony who all decided they have had enough with their own personal suffering. One grabs a blade, another a gun and the last one grabs a bottle. They are all given a second chance to clean up and have a better life, especially with the help of each other. Hopefully they can all face their inner demons together and end it once and for all.

5. "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher

Before the events in this book take place, a girl named Hannah committed suicide. Before she died she left behind a series of cassette tapes which all described the reasons why she killed herself. Each tape involves some sort of mistreatment, whether it was cruel or guilty, all revolving around the students at her school. (P.s. this will be a movie soon starring Selena Gomez).

6. "Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children"

The story follows a boy named Jacob who looked up to his grandfather. His grandfather has a history of living in an orphanage, fighting in wars and battling monsters that follow him. Jacob's grandfather shows him a wide variety of vintage photographs that he has collected from the orphanage, but these are not ordinary photos. The photos include strange things, such as a girl who can float, an invisible boy and a mysterious head master. After his grandfather passed away, Jacob decides to go to the Welsh orphanage for clues about his grandfather's life. After arriving Jacob goes to the orphanage, only to find similar photographs like his grandfather's. Soon Jacob began to uncover more clues and meet some peculiar people on his journey.
