Summary
A house stands alone in the woods.
Deep in the forests of Norway, Lexi finds a fresh start with Tom and his two young daughters, working as their new nanny.
The darkness creeps closer.
But Lexi is telling lies, and she’s not the only one. This family has a history – and this place has a past. Something was destroyed to build this house, and in the dark, dark woods, a menacing presence lurks.
Lexi must protect the children in her care – but protect them from what?
Atmospheric, gothic, spine-chilling, the new thriller from C. J. Cooke will haunt you long after it ends....

Sensational
Sensational storytelling and powerful narration, with a plot to chill your bones. Perfect for fans of Daphne du Maurier and Diane Setterfield.

Brilliant and terrifying.
This was a very different tale in so many ways.. My chosen medium was audio book, and the story had me gasping in fear and crying over two wonderful little girls and sobbing for the story teller in the book. As for the narrator Aysha Kala, she brought each character to life for me; Lexi/Chloe, the other adults, and the children who play such an important part in the book. I didn’t know want it to end but I couldn’t stop listening! So, a brilliant book from C. J. Cooke, whose work I’ve never come across before but whose books I will definitely be reading more of. But the icing on the cake and what really made it for me was Aysha’s narration. My next task is finding another book read by her! 10 stars at least!

yawn fest
this book was dull. There was no tension, nothing gripping, and I just didn't care about the characters. I listened to the end but it was a struggle.

Dragged on.
Interesting parts were fleeting and the ending was very rushed. Shame. It had potential.

What a wonderful story.
Spooky, intense, weird and sad. But also moments of fun and laughter. Poignant in places as broken lives are taped together only to shatter once more before the perfect ending.

Creepy Norwegian set Gothic mystery
The Nesting is a thrilling gothic mystery thriller set in the Norwegian forests and fjords. After hearing a conversation on a train, down on her luck Lexi takes on the identity of another young woman and a applies for a nanny job looking after two youngs girls after their mother, Aurelia died.
The characters are realistic, and I really liked Lexi, who was at rock bottom at the start of the book, and I really wanted her to succeed in her deception. The girls, Gaia and Coco were adorable. The setting is like a character in it's own right, and made the book come alive with beautiful descriptions of the landscape. There is suspense throughout as we hear both Lexi;s and Aurelia's stories. and I loved the references to Norse folklore. Having previously read Ruth Ware's Turn 0f the Key, there are definite similarities but also many differences and I really enjoyed this book.
I enjoyed the narration by Aysha Kala.

Disappointing
I hoped for better but was disappointed with this audiobook. It certainly did not live up to the description.

Really unpleasant main character
I really cannot continue to listen to this book, there are too many 'well that wouldn't happen like that ' moments. The main character is awful,
I'm giving up on this one.

Just amazing, a must read.
This novel had me both chuckling and teary eyed. The story was enthralling and the narration superb. I didn’t want it to end!! Thank you for a fabulous listen.
