In this story, we meet Loreal Ingram, who as a young child is spending the summer with her sister at her grandparents.  Loreal's grandparents are abusive. After one particular incident, Loreal ends up in the dark woods alone, or so the thought. She is then visited by a dark presence that changes her life forever.The story line then jumps to when Loreal as an adult who ends up working in an abuse shelter helping those in need. After the death at the shelter, "The Spider Inside Her" is unleashed. Loreal searches for answers and a cure, which introduces her to a completely new world that she doesn't even know exists. Loreal fights for control over the arachnid, but discovers that the arachnid has a mind of its own, and the only way that the arachnid will relinquish control is with the death of a wrongdoer.I love the concept of this storyline with the arachnid shifter. Very different and unique. The beginning  of this story grabbed me, but I got a little bit bored with it about half way to a quarter of the way through the book. The ending was a total surprise though. It did make up for some other things that I did not care for in the storyline with Loreal, in how she was handling the arachnid and the killings. Overall, I did enjoy this book. I came across a few spelling/grammar errors but nothing that took away from the book. I would recommend checking out the other reviews and maybe downloading a sample chapter. I received a copy of this book in exchange for my review.
