mystmuse 's review for:

Nestlings by Nat Cassidy
3.5
dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A delightfully unique horror romp full of heart with characters that, although unlikeable at times, feel so real. I was very appreciative of the way Cassidy handled disability as well as other things like life post-COVID. I think there were definitely moments where the writing faltered and sometimes it felt a bit too on the nose, but I enjoyed how unique the monsters felt and how the story concluded. Overall, it was very fun and interesting and scary!
