How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix

dark medium-paced

3.5

I've read most of Hendrix's fiction by now (I'm only missing We Sold Our Souls), and while they've been a fun time overall, they're all very same-y. Each of his books has a very different premise (and he has some fantastic premises), but they follow a lot of the same beats. The relationships were developed, but I knew exactly how they were going to play out. To be honest, I really didn't even care much for their relationship. To my disappointment, and despite the title, this wasn't exactly a haunted house story and I wish it was. There were enough unique elements to the story that kept me invested and the few moments of true horror were pretty good, but I felt like there weren't enough of them. It also felt like it went on longer than it needed to; there were a few moments that could've been shaved down a bit.
