Another banger from Nat Cassidy! He has a real talent for weaving our darkest fears and deepest truths into a wild and unpredictable narrative.
These characters are absolutely lovable, and to see them going through such horrors will make your heart ache. You will end up with a better understanding of them but also maybe of your own fears as well.

challenging dark emotional reflective

I am rendered nearly speechless. How this exceeded my expectations is beyond me. This easily passed my love for Nestlings, and that was an easy 5 star read for me. This makes Nestlings feel like a 4. When I finished this, I wanted to put my head through my device and scream. It could have ended where it did, and I was speechless. But to go that extra step in the final part? WTF Cassidy?! That was clever. I can’t believe I missed that, and I’m a bit of a queen at digging that stuff out.

“Is love enough of a reason to keep doing stupid things?” … is love enough to make you miss those little, impactful, sincere things? Yep. Yep. Yep.

I feel for any person who has felt this was about a parent or a person they loved and trusted as a caregiver.

This was horror and magically dark.

MILD SPOILER

Overall, I have mixed feelings about this book. Most of the time it was simply entertaining/fun and predicable, until Chapter 53. This is where the book I was expecting from Cassidy finally materialized. I had all the feels. I wish the whole book had the same level of emotional intensity as the last few chapters and the Afterward. I would’ve only rated this at a 3.5 if the mood hadn’t changed at the end.
