A house with good bugs (and birds)! Like many things I read I feel like it did take a long meandering time to get going. I learned more about bugs than had much genuine escalation of tension or scariness until almost near the end. The climax is done very well and though we end on a happier note, it isn't completely happy, which I like.
Even with the plot and pacing issues, this gets a 4 from me because T. Kingfisher makes me laugh and I love horror that makes me laugh before, during, and after it scares me.
