Description
Lonely and reeling after a medical diagnosis, Lexi Macomber agrees to a weekend retreat at her ex-fiancée's secluded cabin. No drama. No expectations. Just a fun chance to reconnect.
A promising start quickly unravels as old grudges and buried arguments resurface. After a shower mishap ruins their final attempt at repairing the relationship, Lexi demands to leave.
Unfortunately, leaving the cabin is not going to be easy.
One obstacle leads to another, and Lexi is faced with a dire decision: either she’s hallucinating or her ex is plotting to kill her.
Breeding Ground is a psychological horror novelette; a fever-dream of 12K-words, perfect to read in a single sitting.

A quick read. Lexi and her ex fiancee Brandon go to a cabin for a weekend to try and rekindle their relationship, things don't go as planned. A good short story with a good twist. Thanks to Blood Bound Books and Netgalley for this review copy

If you like pure, unadulterated horror with a touch of the repulsive, Breeding Ground is for you! This short story, by S.C. Mendes, details Lexi and Brandon’s weekend visit to a remote cabin. They are hoping to repair their broken engagement, broken after Lexi learned she was unable to have the children Brandon so desperately wanted. So what happens on the weekend? You’ll find out. And, by the way, if you have a problem with insects, you might want to pass on this little gem of a nightmare. 5 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley, Blood Bound Books and S.C. Mendes for this ARC.

3.5 ⭐️
I like a good short story and this one definetly filled my need for a short horror story. The little twist towards the end was great but I didn't really get the plot for the first few pages.

A couple attempts to fix their relationship on a weekend gateway. Things take a deadly turn.
Fertility is a tough subject for me so while it wasn’t my favorite topic to read, I like the plot and would have enjoyed it more if it was a novella. .
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC
