Thank you so much to Tor Nightfire for my gifted copy of Nestlings for review!
Something is amiss in Manhattan's beautiful and historic Deptford Apartments.
Ana and Reid are chosen to live in the regal building through a housing lottery. Ana sustained a life-altering spinal injury while giving birth to daughter Charlie a year earlier. Depression, frustration and resentment are very real parts of her life. Charlie isn't adjusting well to the move.
But those aren't the most worrisome parts of life at the Deptford. They rarely see others in the halls, and those who are around are unsettling. Ana sees things in their windows, despite being on the top floor.
It's all a bit alarming, actually.
This is my first book by Nat Cassidy and I'm an instant fan. Nestlings employs solid creepiness and some well-crafted icky/squirmy imagery, but not gratuitous gore. (Any blood is plot-necessary!)
Horror fans - 100% recommended!
Released on Oct. 31.
