Along Came a Spider has become my favorite book out of the Transplanted Tales...so far at least.  =)  I loved the story of Nicky Blue and Trish Muffet.Kate SeRine delivers another tale of our favorite fairy characters, but it is a twisted world where some of our tales are not the friendly, beautiful characters we know from reading as kids in our fairy tale books.  Instead Kate, gives some of our favorites horrible reputations or make them villains.  But with that twist of the characters personalities..makes these Tales so much better than our traditional fairy tales.The tales have been transplanted into the ordinary world where they have to learn to survive and thrive without giving too much away, who they really are.  In the tale of Along Came a Spider, is when Little Miss Muffet and Little Boy Blue get their story.  Trish Muffet gets caught up in a world storm of craziness of killings, which she has to explore to find out what happens.  Unfortunately, she gets caught up in the crossfire of the madness and ends up have the notorious Dracula stalking her.  In comes, Little Boy Blue, otherwise known as Nicky, who Trish knows very well, but he has been hiding since his wife was killed.  He ends up saving Trish one night and Trish and Nicky end up working together to find out what is going on between Trish's job and the Agency, who are a bunch of ordinaries.  Something is up, and they must find out what is going on before everything is compromised.I absolutely adored and fell head over heels for Nicky "Little Boy" Blue.  Oh yes...I did.  In fact, I call dibs on him.  But...I do not know...Gideon...who played a significant role in this book.  He may win me over in his book due to what he did in Along Came a Spider.  He is very mysterious and I have always loved the mystery guys in books.  But...I loved Nicky...do I have to give a reason why?  Just read the book to find out.  =)  Too many reasons why I loved him.Trish was a very likable female character in the Transplanted Tales books.  She was so determined to find out what was going on and also to overcome her fears.  She had it rough when she was little, but she has grown tremendously.I even loved when the previous characters came into the story to find out what they were up to.  Seth and Lavender...those two are definitely a very steamy couple.I loved the story line and where Kate took the characters into as far of drama, action, and emotions.  This definitely was one messed up twisted tale between the tales and the ordinaries this time.I give this book 5 full moons and highly recommend it to urban fantasy and paranormal romance readers out there.  If you love fairy tale stories with a twist, you will definitely enjoy this book.  I recommend you read the first two though, so you can find out about the other characters in the series.  You will definitely want to know about Little Red Riding Hood and her personality before you read this book.  She definitely is one stubborn, strong willed character.  =)I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
