Wilder Girls by Rory Power would fit this! And technically Animorphs but they're not labeled as horror lol

Omg wilder girls! I read that YEARS ago! And I was on the fence about adding animorphs but I’d say they’re horror adjacent :)

Not sure if it’s specifically parasitic, but Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield definitely has a horror element of a something taking over the body…
