Compare to Gradys other book that I've read, this was a bit of a miss. I wasn't really interested in the characters and the plot line felt rushed and disjointed. I loved the design of the book but if I am being honest the foreign names of the house product made visualizing the setting extremely hard and confusing which would completely remove me the story.

This was so fun!!
1000% recommend to anyone who has thought about what would happen if they had a sleepover at Ikea.
This was scarier than I thought it was gonna be (pleasant surprise). I assumed it would just be a ghost haunting Faux-kea but it was much more involved than that and I was TENSE for the second half of the book.
Definitely read this physical!! If you do audio you’ll miss a lot of the cool design. The book looks like an Ikea catalogue and the beginning of each chapter shows a different piece of furniture on offer. I laughed out loud at some many of these.
The only thing keeping me from a 5⭐️ is some of the characters being a bit lackluster. Every character was important to setting the stage for maximum creepiness but Trinity and Matt? Never cared what happened to them. Loved the FMC Amy she was delightful and Basil had a soft spot in my heart but the others were fine and made everything more spooky but as humans? Meh.
Such a unique experience and I recommend everyone go read it if you like to be spooked!

I loved the attention to detail and
It really looks like an IKEA catalogue!!
Took a bit to really get into because it was repetitive and info dumping the first chapter or two. But by about 40 pages I was sucked in. Horrorstör is a unique story and format. It was scary, creepy, but more like a haunted funhouse which is perfect for anyone (like me) who scare easily 👻
I would’ve liked to get to know the characters a bit more but overall an entertaining read which I really enjoyed! I’m looking forward to reading more from Hendrix 😍
