"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, and I'll reverse back over you to make sure you're dead."
 
Cassie Baker buys a house on Cedar Street that reminds her of happier times when her mom was still alive. Now, it is the perfect place to raise her son. That is until her friend discovers dog remains buried in her backyard. Then comes the cockroaches..
 
Another dark and unsettling story by Andrew Cull. Imagine an infestation of cockroaches trying to attack you 😬 I sure as hell couldn't, but our protagonist, Cassie, had to deal with that, going from fear into go mode as she protected her son while trying to figure out what the hell was going on with her new home. From dog bones, cockroaches, and neighbours that kept to themselves, it didn't take long for Cassie to realize something sinister was going on in her neighbourhood.
 
Something about a swarm of insects always makes me feel squeamish and this book delivers it well. And, once again, Cull does a wonderful job depicting grief as Cassie reminisces about her mother. This is a quick read that keeps you at the edge of your seat. It is filled with action, creepiness, and sorrow. I highly recommend it!
