The House that Horror Built by Christina Henry
5.0
oh. my. god... Obvisouly, it's Christina Henry so.. ya know? Did this book get me out of my reading slump? Probably. Might have also put me back into it because it was so good 😂. This is absolutely a mystery thriller. It has a huuuuuuge buildup, which left Shannon (buddy read) and me p l e n t y of time to speculate and guess an scheme of what everything actually is.
This book follows Harry, a single mom who loves horror movies. She just started a job as a cleaner at Bright Hall in Chigaco. The house where her favourite movie director. Javier Castillo is a (selfproclaimed) genius in his movies. He is constantly working on new movies and finding funding. His entire house is full of movie props and collectibles which is exactly why he hired Harry, he can't dust them off by himself. After a while of working there, Harry starts to get a creepy feeling and things start to happen that aren't supposed to happen, really.......
Near the end I was getting a little nervous, the final chapter was nearing and we still knew barely anything, however, in true Henry-style, the finale was grande! I feel like this book is either very much your thing or not at all, and in a way I feel like you might only get the 'full' appreciation for it if you know Henry her writing style a little better. It was an absolutely amazing read with tension, suspicion and so many questions ðŸ¤
