Was it scary, not really, but it was fun. Had clichés that worked for this book and characters that were relatable as well as identifiable, whereas I work or have worked with people like this. I love that it was set in Ohio in an area that I know. I used to work in Brecksville and our company at one point worked temporarily over on Rockside Road in Independence, so I probably could find this location. Also, I wouldn't be surprised by a haunted Orsk because Ohio is very haunted and with that tidbit is what you need to know about this book. We have Basil, loyal to Orsk and what we call an upper, Ruth Anne, a lifer to the retail world yet the sweetest person around, Amy, who is tired of the job yet trying to work her way up and is sassy as well as drowning in debt. We have Matt and Trinity who are trying to have their own ghost hunting show and picked the wrong night to do it. As the night progresses because of recent floor models being vandalized the answers to what's going on is disturbing. Enjoy!
