Book Review: How To Sell A Haunted House by Grady Hendrix

Thank you @berkleypub for my review copy.

My 💭:

How To Sell A Haunted House is the second book I’ve read by Grady Hendrix and I enjoyed this one a little better. The creepy dolls storyline didn’t scare me as I’m a horror fan and already been down this road. Slappy from Goosebumps was the best to do it in my opinion. This book was HEAVY on the family drama between Louise and Mark and that got annoying at times. I appreciated the message of how family secrets can impact the whole family and future generations and the importance of breaking these cycle. The growth between Louise and Mark was refreshing and glad it happened! So much anger, hurt and resentment could have been avoided with simple communication.

About the Book:

When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn’t want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston. She doesn’t want to deal with her family home, stuffed to the rafters with the remnants of her father’s academic career and her mother’s lifelong obsession with puppets and dolls. She doesn’t want to learn how to live without the two people who knew and loved her best in the world.
 
Most of all, she doesn’t want to deal with her brother, Mark, who never left their hometown, gets fired from one job after another, and resents her success. Unfortunately, she’ll need his help to get the house ready for sale because it’ll take more than some new paint on the walls and clearing out a lifetime of memories to get this place on the market. 
 
But some houses don’t want to be sold, and their home has other plans for both of them…
