Good series for Halloween

I love this entire series and always try to read it around Halloween time. Perfect for teens and young adults. Great storyline and building of characters. Twists and turns you did not see coming.

He lived in England many, many years ago when Old Gregory was in charge of ridding the villages of devil's...
