When Trish Muffet is attacked at a grisly crime scene, the last person she expects to come to her rescue is Nicky “Little Boy” Blue. But since walking away from everything two years before, Nicky’s been doling out vigilante justice as “The Spider,” taking on the vicious predators of the night in hopes it’ll lead him to his ultimate target – Vlad Dracula. And he needs Trish’s help.
Although Nicky’s renegade style goes against everything Trish stands for, she’ll do what she must to bring Dracula down. With danger stalking her, Trish knows the only person she can count on is the one man who has the power to leave her breathless. There’s no way she’s letting this spider frighten her away…
Oh. My.
God.
I freaking
LOVE this book, period. Trish was a character that I thought was plain amazing
when we got to know her along the way in the series, and Nicky Blue was a
charming bastard who really had the worst luck. Both fascinated me, and I knew
there was something between them, but not exactly. Reading their story was
amazing. I was cursing, laughing, gasping, blushing and grinning like a fool
all through the book. There were times where I wanted nothing more than to
reach in, grab Nicky and smack some sense into his head, I wanted to run into
the book and give both of them a shout of warning for what they were headed
into, and… Well, let’s just say, I got into this story, heh.
Kate have a
way of making her characters seem so real, you forget everything around you,
she has taken old loved fairytales, rhymes, literature, torn the persons out
from the pages and molded them into reality. She has twisted their legends,
their stories and made us look behind the façade. The truth? I love seeing what
lurks in the shadows :-D
More importantly
(to me), Kate SeRine manages to create a story that catches you off guard, it
sneaks under your skin and before you know it; it’s 3 am and the book is all
done, leaving you with a book hangover the size of China. Even better? The
humor that saturates Kate’s stories, making you giggle, laugh and snort like a
mad woman.
Nicky and Trish’s
story was my favorite so far. The tension, the romance, the heartache, the
desperation, the panic, the twists and turns that I didn’t see coming – loved it.
Hands down, I have no other word. Yes, I love the entire series so far, yes I
have a thing for fairytales, for twisting them, but what Kate has created with
Along Came a Spider… with the entire Transplanted Tales series is pure bliss
for me. When I settle down with one of Kate’s book, I know I’m in for a ride,
Along Came a Spider is no different than the rest of her series. It has
everything that I want from a book; great catching characters, wonderful and
surprising plot, meeting old beloved friends and meeting new ones, laughter,
heartache and hope. The action is thrilling an brings you all the way to the
front of your seat, crossing your fingers that they will be alright and the bad
guys are so repulsive…. You love to hate them.
I’m
currently reading the next story in Kate’s series; Ever After. Come back here
August 27 and I’ll tell you all my thoughts about it!
