A review by speedreadstagram
Nestlings by Nat Cassidy

5.0

After a particularly complicated birth with her first child, Anna finds herself paralyzed, bitter, full of resentment and stuck in a wheelchair. To make matters worse, her landlord is a class A jerk. So, when an opportunity comes to get an apartment in one of Manhattans most revered buildings, they take it very quickly. However, it isn’t long before strange things start happening. Anna’s husband, Reid dismisses the events, but Anna is paranoid. When their baby has needle like marks, they can’t help but wonder what really is going on. Can they figure it out before it’s too late?

I loved this book so much. It took me a few days to get my review together because I enjoyed it so much, I needed to gather my thoughts and form coherent sentences. This book was the horror book I didn’t know I needed but did. This book was so creepy, and unsettling, but so enjoyable. I loved pretty much everything about this book and wouldn’t change a thing. The plot, the pacing, the writing style, all great.

This is one that has some trigger warnings, and I loved how the author handled them. For me the biggest one to be aware of is dealing with children. I also loved the inclusion of the authors list of books that helped influence this one.

This was my first novel by this author, but it won’t be the last. Thank you @catnassidy for writing an amazing book.

If you are looking for a very creepy and entertaining horror book for spooky season, then check this one out.

Thank you so much to the publisher Tor Nightfire, @tornightfire, and Netgalley, @netgalley for this e-arc in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own.
