Infestation
INFESTATION is a hair-raising, skin-itching Qwickie® novella inspired by true events and laced with a heavy dose of horror and a dash of tongue-in-cheek Tardif humor…
Every house has its secrets, some more perverse and horrific than others…
Suspense author Cathy Tremblay and her cable-installer husband, Mike, have just moved into a new home in West Kelowna, BC., where they get to experience nature at its finest. Between deer traipsing across the front yard and a “quailing daycare” in the back, they’re living la vida buena. Until everything changes.
First come the spiders. Then the rats. What comes next hurls Cathy and Mike into skin-itching chaos. They’ve seen all kinds of house pests before, but they’re not prepared for an infestation like this.
*BONUS* - Read the lyrics of the "hit" song Cheryl wrote, also titled INFESTATION, and buy the song, produced by artist Jesse Giles for only $0.99 (time limited offer).>/b>

Stupid unappealing lead character and a silly book with no real story.

This book will stay with you for a long time. It preys on your fears and phobias while at the same time surprising you with quirky changes of direction. I really enjoyed it, even though I know nightmares will be coming. I feel itchy and crawly as though the storyline reached right out to embrace me. Yet, there is humor as well. The terror builds as the "infestation" escalates. But what I thought was a great touch was the reasoning behind the horror. This book is a quick read and hard to put down so easy to read in one go. This is nightmare brought to life, phobias awakened, the kind of story you love to fear, the kind of writing that

This was a nice short read.
The story flowed well but climax happened too suddenly compared to the build up. It left me with the feeling of the author not really knowing how she wanted this to end and just decided 'now is a good time' with no regards to the overall suspense.

Infestation is a book about just what it sounds like and just what the cover looks like. Beware! If you’re not a fan of creepy, crawly things or things that come out in the dark, this book might not be for you; or maybe it is! I can read about serial killers anytime of the day or night and not have a problem sleeping, but mice are my personal phobia so, of course, this book had me shivering, itching, and wanting to set a few mice traps. Basically, it completely creeped me out, yikes!
Although a very quick read, I loved it. I’m a fan of Tardif’s writing anyway and a horror lover, so this was a double thrill to read. The writing was wonderful, the story slowly creeping up on me so that I felt like I also had an infestation problem. At times I even found myself shouting to the characters to stop what they were doing!
If you’re looking for a book you can finish in a couple hours, one that will chill you to your core, this is a book you need to add to your reading list. Yet another great book by Cheryl Kaye Tardif.

They're kooky and they're creepy...
Granted horror isn't my genre of choice, this book had me scratching and peering under the covers. I won't give anything away, talk about a home-owner's nightmare!, but I will say it was craftily done, great building plot and a surprise ending. I highly recommend you not read this before bed.
