Alex and Susan find what they believe is the perfect apartment in Brooklyn Heights. The rent is perfect, there is plenty of room, and it even has a small “bonus room” for Susan to set up her painting studio. Their landlord Andrea is a bit eccentric, but sweet.
Soon after they move in Susan is bitten by what she assumes is a bedbug. They call in an exterminator who does a thorough sweep of the house. She turns up no bedbugs. Soon one bite turns into several. Susan is the only one being bitten though. Alex has no bites and their daughter Emma has no bites.
Susan spends her days researching bedbugs. The more she reads the more she is sure that their house is infested. But with her being the only one that has bites or that has seen an actual bug Alex begins to worry about her.
Through her research Susan finds that she may be being attacked by something way more sinister than bedbugs. The drastic measure that she must take to rid herself of the menace attacking her may cost Susan her family.
This reminded me a little bit of a Stephen King novel. Reality mixed with a bit of the supernatural. The suspense was intense enough to keep me turning the pages. Bedbugs made me squirm and to think about what the next “itch” really was. I did have issues with some of the language.
