About this ebook
Nat Cassidy is at his razor-sharp best again with his horror novel Nestlings, which harnesses the creeping paranoia of Rosemary's Baby and the urban horror of Salem's Lot, set in an exclusive New York City residential building.

Ana and Reid needed a lucky break.
The horrifically complicated birth of their first child has left Ana paralyzed, bitter, and struggling: with mobility, with her relationship with Reid, with resentment for her baby. That's about to change with the words any New Yorker would love to hear—affordable housing lottery.
They've won an apartment in the Deptford, one of Manhattan's most revered buildings with beautiful vistas of Central Park and stunning architecture.
Reid dismisses disturbing events and Ana’s deep unease and paranoia as the price of living in New York—people are odd—but he can't explain the needle-like bite marks on the baby.

This book was quite lovely! It would have received five stars for : Clear storytelling, a unique take on monsters, believable characters, a flavor of comedy that makes it all too easy to swallow some horrific material, and loads of representation for groups or characters who don't always find a place in horror stories. I docked one star for: an awkward sort of poetic ending that felt rather out of place, and a lack of lore and history for the monsters (there was some, but it felt like not enough). Overall, I highly recommend this book, especially for fans of The Shining.

I really love how Nat emphasize the struggle of both the parents here which I am relating to since i am a mother of a one year old and the fun thing is it mixed with the horrors of their new apartment. I was a bit sad at the end cuz i think there should be more detail on what happened next hehe but really a fast read for me. I was hooked!
