The Graceview Patient by Caitlin Starling

Margaret lives with a rare autoimmune condition that has destroyed her life, leaving her isolated. It has no cure, but she’s making do as best she can—until she’s offered a fully paid-for spot in an experimental medical trial at Graceview Memorial. The conditions are simple, if grueling: she will live at the hospital as a full-time patient, subjecting herself to the near-total destruction of her immune system and its subsequent regeneration. The trial will essentially kill most of, but not all of her. But as the treatment progresses and her body begins to fail, she stumbles upon something sinister living and spreading within the hospital. Unsure of what's real and what is just medication-induced delusion, Margaret struggles to find a way out as her body and mind succumb further to the darkness lurking throughout Graceview's halls.

Animorphs Book 5: The Predator by K. A. Applegate

The Predator gives Marco stakes that he can fight for, while also doubling down on the body horror with some insect morphs. It finishes getting all the Animorphs on the same page and establishes Yeerk politics at play on Earth.

This book deals with loss of a parent in a way that was just referenced earlier in the series, as well as finally letting us know what Marco is thinking behind all his jokes.

All of the books so far have dealt with the mental aspects of morphing, but this one is is the first that is truly terrifying based on what happens to them, not just what they think they might do. Your mileage may vary as to which morph is the creepiest, but morphs with exoskeletons really don't come out looking good here.
