Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix

5.0

Super scary! This had me hooked from the beginning. I've been wanting to read this for a few years now and snagged it during one of my latest Barnes and Noble accidental shopping sprees. I've read one of Grady Hendrix's books before, and I can definitely tell now that he has a style and a unique voice. He puts a healthy dose of sarcasm in his writing along with splashes of everyday modern references that makes his books very easy to slip into. The main character of this book, Amy, was very difficult to like for the first half of the book, but she did get better (dark chuckles). The premise of this book was what caught me: a haunted Ikea ripoff that had great mysteries and made people get lost inside it. But it turned out to be so much more than that. It had its own little Grady twist worked into it, as always. My one critique is that there seemed to be a bit at the end that was gearing up for a possible sequel, otherwise it felt a bit unnecessary. That was my one complaint about it. There was a whole lot of creepy stuff going on inside that place! It was trippy, I couldn't put it down, and I finished this baby in about two and a half hours. It was great!
