pickMost stories were interesting and entertaining. Still, it‘s got its uneven parts in terms of quality and/or style. Still worth reading.
I got my new shirt! Who else loves a good ferret heist?
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.
