pickDark creatures lurk in the forest, waiting and watching. I enjoyed the premise of this book but definitely knew who they were but not so much how! Worth checking out if you‘re into folklore 🥰
pickHorrorstör, by Grady Hendrix (2014)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?
Premise: A diverse group of big box store employees investigate when a series of increasingly disturbing (and possibly paranormal) events disrupt the store.
Review: I haven‘t been a fan of Hendrix‘s other work, but this really worked for me. It struck a great balance between being legitimately frightening and a hilarious and effective satire of corporate culture in late-stage capitalism. Super fun.
Much better cover!
I enjoyed this more than the first book. The presence of other characters from the series brought some humor and heart, as did Magnus and Alec's new status as parents. Something still felt a little off though... the plot kind of went in fits and starts rather than being propulsive. Oh we're in trouble... oh, it's stopped for no apparent reason... oh we're in trouble again.

pickI still love the snarky quotes that begin each chapter. I still enjoy the characters and their love and support of each other. I like that the main character is a woman of 45, and not a girl of 25.
I read TOUCH NOT THE CAT six years ago and I remember nothing about it except that it maybe had a mosaic somewhere in it. Since the ebook was $0.99 right when I was celebrating getting my ereader to 100% read, I figured I‘d give it another try. If I‘m lucky, I‘ll persuade Stormy to tuck up in bed a little earlier than usual so I can zoom in on it until I pass out.
so-so2.7⭐️ 1st book of the year and apparently I have read this before and it had little impact because I did not even recognize any bit of it. This was my 36th book on my #roll100 list. My thoughts are pretty much the same as they were last time, which is that it was a good concept with a poor execution. Officially deleting from my Kindle so I don‘t put myself through that a 3rd time.
Jay hit the door with his shoulder, but it didn‘t splinter beneath his weight or anything quite so dramatic. The handle, which was probably old and in disrepair anyway, fell apart on impact and the door shot open, banging against the wall on the other side.
