I am convinced that Ania Ahlborn can do no wrong. I love everything I've read by her and she continues to put out amazing work. This novella is short but super creepy. As someone who doesn't like scary-looking bugs, this one made me very uncomfortable. I don't want to give anything away so I'll leave it at this: If you do not like bugs and want to be creeped out, you'll probably like this one a lot. This one gave me shivers and had me gagging just a bit.

A super creepy read. I could truly feel and understand Kim’s horror. Yikes!

 This is a fast read about bugs, motherhood, and your spouse not believing you.

Kim and her husband move into the perfect house just before she's set to have her baby. It's perfect, mysterious... and covered in roaches. Some of the descriptors are very good, the roaches are disgusting, and there's a lot of mystery. I would say the story doesn't give a lot of payoff with some of the mysteries, however. I would have liked more answers.
