There’s something wrong with Maple Ridge Mall. At least according to serial slacker Scott Novak. After being fired from his latest job, he is forced to hunt for a new one at the mall itself. He quickly discovers that his fears were the mall is home to dangerous supernatural horrors.
Learning that he and his loved ones are in danger from unnatural forces, he teams up with a paranormally savvy mall cop, A-Scott, to combat the many threats that the shopping center has to offer. Together, they seek to solve a mystery that alternates between reality and a world of dreams.
Garrett Wieck debuts his first book with a tale of adventure, comedy, and horror - all at the same time. Join Scott Novak in an adventure that unveils the secrets hidden within this seemingly quiet, mundane shopping mall.

A great debut novel by Garret, his story is full of funny moments, scary ones and emotional ones.
Javi and Scott should be endgame tbh.
Just one minor problem: WHERE IS THE NEXT BOOK? Like i need more Scott and A Scott adventures! This mall stories have so much potential I need more.
The writing about fighting the hoodie man was incredible, it resonated with me about how we/I am/are able to control our thoughts and fight our own demons.

This is a strong debut novel by Garrett. It is a quick read with a lot of humor and a lot of of references to the area if you’re from that area of California.
