📖 Synopsis
They story follows Louise a single mum who recieves a phone call from her brother telling her that their parents have died. She doesn't get on well with her brother as their parents always gave him what he wanted and he has never worked hard for anything in his life. There is tension and arguments between the siblings as they arrange the funeral and prepare their parents home to be sold. The problem is some homes don't want to be sold and the house has other plans for them...
Thoughts 💬
I am a fan of Grady Hendrix's comedic horror writing style and I have read most of his books. How to sell a haunted house is now my favourite by him. I found this to be horrifyingly creepy and a great build up to the main events of the book. The story is well crafted with some great twists in this as well as great character development. Grady does a great job at realistically depicting grief, trauma and the uncomfortable situations that arise when dealing with a family members death. I flew through this as I just wanted to find out how it was going to end.
Thank you NetGalley and Titan books for my ARC in exchange the review.
