This book is fantastic. I have absolutely loved it and been completely gripped by this one.
This is definitely a read I will be recommending this one.

Thank you to Netgalley and HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction for the arc of The Nesting by C.J Cooke.
This follows a woman named Lexi who has broken up with her boyfriend and whom is practically homeless and has no where else to go so that When a nannying position becomes available and open out of the blue randomly, she does whatever she can to ensure that she gets the job no matter what.... She ends up Travelling all the way to the Fjords which is in Norway, She is really is unaware of whatwill awaits her when she gets there. Who is this Sad Lady that Gaia keeps pointing out? Who keeps calling her in the middle of the night??? and why???
This was a great read, read it within a few days and It had me hooked from line to sinker to the end... it was so gripping and i really enjoyed it, definitely recommend to anyone.
5 Stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

spoiler alert ** There's a lot to like in this book..
I think I'd buy it based on the name and cover alone.
The setting,in beautiful remote part of Norway.
A dream house being built.
Not knowing of a character is actually mad or not.
Suspicion on quite a few of the characters.
An out of bounds basement.
The Norwegian folk tales.
A possible curse on the building project.
A ghostly creature haunting the house.
I liked all of these things.
However,for me,the pacing never built up the tension enough.
So,for me,this was an enjoyable read,but didn't live up to my hope that it was going to be a creepy one.

This isn’t my usual genre of book, but I was really intrigued by the blurb. I did enjoy it, and loved the setting, the lore and the atmospheric feel to the book. What I didn’t Love was the ending, it felt so disjointed and didn’t really flow with what I knew about the characters, or what the author told me. Bit of a let down
