How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

1.75

This author is a hit or miss for me, and this was a miss. For starters if the house is
filled with puppets and dolls
OBVIOUSLY ITS GOING TO BE HAUNTED. Being a cliche was the lesser of the crimes this book commited. The next was the weird historical add on of
9/11??? Like why did the brother join anti war puppet organisation and then like lose his identity within the puppet and kill (?) his friends
. The last thing that had me gagged, as the kids say,
POPPY MAKING HER OWN PUPPET?? that was straight up messed up, as well as cutting off her own brother's arm??? And some pretend/real spider pet?? Damn this book went off the rails


Lolol as I'm writing the review, I brought down the rating
