"It's built with blood." 

A retail giant called The Store just opened in the small town of Juniper, Arizona. Everything the townspeople need is now found under one roof, but they better beware as the store requires something of its customers. Bill Davis senses evil lurking within the Store, but he can't stop his two daughters from working there. He is compelled to figure out what's going on before it's too late. 

I liked the concept of this story. A big retailer opened in a small town and slowly kept expanding only to take over the entire town and run all of the small businesses to the ground. The townspeople had mixed feelings as their livelihoods were jeopardized, but at the same time, a lot of them were under the influence of The Store. It was crazy to read about how one store could take over your life and make you pay (in some crazy ways) if you disobeyed them both as an employee and a customer 👀 

The owner of The Store was creepy af, as well as management and the "night staff". I enjoyed the characters and how each of them were effected in many different ways. I could really feel Bill's dislike for the Store oozing off the pages. 

I did have a few gripes with the story. For one, the book easily could have been shorter as the actions of the Store became repetitive. Also, the ending didn't make any sense to me. I mean, it did, but it was unrealistic in my opinion. I won't go into detail as to spoil it, but it was pretty lackluster. But overall, The Store was pretty entertaining!
