First Rate Tutors on Youtube has multiple videos for good vocab.

Some off the top of my head: crepuscular, orange-tinted horizon, misty sheen, gilded, ruddy, umber, alabaster-white/obsidian-black, malodorous, mellisonant/mellifluous/dulcet tunes, (palms) clammy, drenched top, furtive glare, festooned.

I recommend using some of the quotes from your literature texts (e.g. I stopped. Minuted passed, but nothing happened.) as they often use lots of rhetorical devices.
