reading_under_covers's review against another edition
3.0
Thanks to Berkley for an early finished copy of this one in exchange for an honest review!
This book has such a fun, unique, spooky premise - told from the point of view of a house cleaner, tasked with cleaning a famous horror director's prop and memorabilia-filled home, who soon starts hearing and seeing things that can't be full explained away 👀
It was so interesting to learn about our main girl, Harry's backstory, while also showcasing her and her teen son's shared love of horror films! I also just love when filmmaking is tied into a book, and a horror book makes it even more fun.
However, I found this book to, ultimately, be incredibly predictable and repetitive and there was more talking about spooky stuff than there was actual spooky stuff happening.
Definitely not my favorite horror book about horror movies, but I can see someone younger (teen me!!!) enjoying this one!
