for such a great premise, i think this was executed poorly. the reason i like Traford Trading Club is how it keep the mystery part mystery you know. like not common knowledge. same goes with house of horror. this novel "paranormal" is too "in your face" for it to be of any mystery or scary .
also, the story is the point of view of the main character, yet we know nothing about him. he calling artifact dangerous, yet he dont explain why is it dangerous, and is it dangerous base on what standard?
to be fair, i only read a few chapter in, but this has been bugging me non stop. he claim the artifact in the first chapter was his first artifact he encounter. that does not make sense at all. his family run the shop for generation. dont tell me his parent didnt show him a single one to prepare him to take over the shop one day? that is very unlikely. if they do it like how in housr of horror, his parent die before telling him anything and he have to figure everything out by himself, that would make more sense.
anyway, i think the premise is good, but the set up and execution is so rush, its embarrassing
